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

The crazy thing is how much Kelly Osbourne has changed.
It's not just weight loss, I think she's had most of her face 'refreshed'.

It is crazy! However, she probably felt the need to change her face after what she said.

That's Kelly Osborne?! 😳😳😳

Crikey - she looks totally different to how I remember her.

DreamTheMoors · 12/04/2024 23:13

I couldn’t care less how Sharon Osborne looks, one way or the other.
I do care how she bullies other women though - even women she’s never met.
I consider that unacceptable.
And rude and crude and socially unacceptable.

What did she say?

BarbarasRhabarberBar · 12/04/2024 23:22

I'll try and find a video. She was on an American talk show - think she was a regular host and they were talking about trump and his "wall". She said who is going to clean your toilets if you get rid of all the latinas.

When was the reality TV show work the Osbornes?. She'd had a load of work done to her face even back then. Then on the x factor or whatever, shows she's always shot in very bright light.

I remember years ago reading Ben Elton 's book, this other Eden(?) and thinking it ridiculous that his satirical view is a future was where women looked strange with wrinkles. Brave new world is another. Why do we expect to see women in their 70s with tightly stretched faces? Where are the women in the 70s with their own faces? Why does society abhor the sight of an aged woman?

"Another weight loss injection bashing thread"

Is there a number of posts by people agreeing that these drugs are dangerous above which it becomes a "bashing"?

Why don't you start a weight-loss injection championing thread and see how it goes?

This. I don't give a shit what she looks like, she's one nasty piece of work.

MorningSunshineSparkles · 13/04/2024 01:02

You’ll be shocked by your appearance when you’re 70 odd too. We’ll all be far past our best by then.

LovelaceBiggWither · 13/04/2024 01:14

Ozempic is out of your body by 6 weeks. There's absolutely no way her body metabolism has changed so much that she has continued to lose weight unless she is restricting. Research shows the opposite happens for most people who rapidly regain. About 30% will not regain but absolutely nobody in any of the research continued to lose weight to a dangerous level after they stopped the drug.

DeeCeeCherry · 13/04/2024 01:21

I think the unspoken MN rule is that people can freely comment on and slag off women under 50. As clearly seen on other threads. But not women aged over 50..

FWIW, she looks like a cautionary tale of the perils of taking Ozempic to me.

TheCheekyKob · 13/04/2024 01:26

She’s 71. I think she looks great for 71! God what is wrong with people.

CHEESEY13 · 13/04/2024 01:27

There's tens of thousands of dollars work in that face and it's gone too far. But these cosmetic surgeons will give you what you want if you just keep signing an open cheque.

Even if they know it's bad for you.

bradpittsbathwater · 13/04/2024 01:28

I'm sure she looks better than most pensioners

CHEESEY13 · 13/04/2024 01:38

Remember how fat Adele was until she went to live in California? Then, pretty much overnight, she became the stereotypical California Barbie-Blonde stick insect. She fitted in with the Devil Wears Prada culture over there.

And it was truly all purely down to exercise and a personal chef, honest.......sure, sure!

Attractive is a stretch 😭😂

Mouse82 · 13/04/2024 02:34

It's 2024, are we still talking about women's bodies like they are public property?

GiveMeAllTheVeggies · 13/04/2024 02:43

Whenwillitgetwarm · 12/04/2024 21:02

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.

I presume you know her personally then

GiveMeAllTheVeggies · 13/04/2024 02:44

Did no-one learn after the bullshit hate of Princess Kate?????

Garlicked · 13/04/2024 02:51

I've just watched the Loose Women clip and I think she looks amazing! She doesn't look 70 but she doesn't look any age really - she could be anything from 50 to 85, with a lot of work done and heavy makeup.

I do find it sad that women feel they have to look a certain way. All the women who get work done as they age look very similar. I believe those who take a keen interest in this can tell straight away which surgeon did what work.

Still, Sharon O seems to have picked well. Yes, she looks standard. Pity her "going my own way" ethos doesn't extend to ageing in her body's own way but, then again, I don't really blame her given the life she lives.

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

It's not about how aged she looks at 71 - it's about how shockingly underweight she looks now. She looked to me to be under 100 pounds, possibly around 90lbs, so the sort of weight I associate with anorexics like Karen Carpenter. Turns out she weighs around 95 pounds, from what she's said. She's said she'd liked to put on 10 pounds, and that she'd like to be about 105 pounds.

MN posters are forever banging on about osteoporosis - being this thin is a major risk factor for it. If you get ill, and have no weight to spare, at 70-odd years of age, you risk serious repercussions.

Polishedshoesalways · 13/04/2024 05:49

I immediately thought she was unwell again when I saw her. I don’t care how she ‘looks’ - but I do care about health and she looks dangerously skeletal and frail.

If she is unwell she has the right to keep it private. I doubt we know all of the facts. To continue to lose weight after stopping the injections suggests something else is going on.
