Shocked by Sharon Osbourne's appearance

I recently saw a photo of her- she looks ill and aged. Apparently down to Ozempic - she hasn’t been able to put weight on since she stopped taking it. A shame as she was an attractive woman

She’s obviously had a lot of work done too. Barely recognisable.

Confusingly, Kelly Osborne now looks IDENTICAL to a younger Sharon. Which she never used to.

Planesmistakenforstars · 12/04/2024 20:21

She's seventy fucking one years old, will this judgement of women's appearance and how fat (or not) or old they look ever end?

Waitingfordoggo · 12/04/2024 20:24

She looks really quite underweight in that video 😕 I do hope she is able to regain some weight. I didn’t think she was particularly overweight to start with, was she?

Boombatty · 12/04/2024 20:25

No one's judging a 71yo for looking old. They're judging her for plastic surgery and taking drugs for weight loss. It's hard to look at her and not feel shocked, and I guess sad at how she has obviously felt she needed to keep up with an unreachable LA/celebrity standard.

Crystalineknowledge · 12/04/2024 20:30

Yes she has changed dramatically in a year and is very underweight- looks like the Ozempic has made her very unwell. Sad that she felt the need to do this, she wasn’t overweight

I’m sure she’d speak equally highly of you.

Why?

I did see her on CBB and was a bit shocked at how gaunt she looked.

I think her and Ozzy have now moved back to the UK, they live in a local area where they've had a homes for years.

They're pretty much treated as one of the locals and can go about their lives without anyone thinking anything of it.

I find this type of discussion of people's appearance unpleasant.

She's allowed to do as she pleases.

Focus on your own faces if you have nothing better to think about.

Perhaps post us a picture of how aged you look when you're 71, should be interesting.

Crystalineknowledge · 12/04/2024 20:58

It’s not a normally aged appearance due to Ozempic and she is warning others about taking it, which I think is good. It’s shocking as it’s happened so quickly and I doubt healthy.

She’s quite a nasty woman, that bothers me more than what she looks like. However, I do have sympathy if her quest to look young and thin has caused health issues. Nobody deserves to lose their health.

Sunquest · 12/04/2024 21:05

She's a perfect example of why taking weight loss drugs is a bad idea.

Ozempic does seem to have a strange effect on a person's face - I don't see the same when someone loses weight the old fashioned way.

Growlybear83 · 12/04/2024 21:19

I think she actually looks really good in that video, and definitely nowhere near her age.

LocalHobo · 12/04/2024 21:30

Brenda Blethyn is a perfect looking woman in her 70's. Obviously this is my opinion, but I wonder why SO would try to look the way she does when embracing our age must be so much more empowering.

How nasty

Shame as she WAS an attractive woman....she's 70+, leave her looks alone

tennesseewhiskey1 · 12/04/2024 21:32

Ffs have you nothing better to do in life than to drag her down? Are you bored?? Do you know her? Perhaps she’s been poorly?

You can still be attractive at 70+ though… can’t you?

MaryFuckingFerguson · 12/04/2024 21:35

Who cares? She doesn’t look like your average 70 something woman, but she looks like I presume she wants to look.

Like a lot of celebrities, she looks neither young nor old. Good luck to them.

Brenda is overweight though. She looks really heavy when you see the full picture which is just as unhealthy as being underweight surely.

Sharon looks fine for her 70's

She's not been poorly. She's admitted taking Ozempic and taking it too far.

Why should she be judged for it though?? She’s damned if she does, damned if she’s doesn’t. As are most women, to be honest. Although, luckily, most of us aren’t famous enough to be in the public eye and judged constantly by complete strangers. The more I think about this, the more I think: either we hold men to this exact same horrible standard or we lay off judging everyone entirely.
