To think Kelly Osborne must have body dysmorphia?

[Seymorbutts]

I’ve just seen a photo of Kelly Osborne, having not seen one for years. I don’t tend to keep up with celeb gossip but this photo actually shocked me. She looks about 55, despite being only 40, and so frail because of how much weight she’s lost. She can’t possibly think she looks good. I think she must have body dysmorphia. I can see how growing up in the spotlight somewhere like LA, being surrounded by ridiculously beautiful people, where cosmetic surgery and being a size zero is standard, must have been very difficult for her, especially as she has been overweight for most of life. Do you think she’s able to recognise how awful she looks but is just unable to stop herself losing weight & getting surgery and she’ll never be satisfied? Or do you think she thinks she actually looks good?

I think she had nothing but judgement on her looks for almost her whole life. And this is just more of the same. If she’s happy, leave her alone. If she’s unhappy, leave her even more alone!

She is the same size as a lot of celebrity women but we are used to the old her so it looks more shocking. I expect she’d waged war with her body her whole life. People need to give her a break especially as she’s just lost her Dad.

I was shocked when I saw her too. It never even occurred to me that she might think she looks good. I just thought she was bravely struggling on despite being desperately ill.

Im not commenting on KO specifically but grief is much much more complicated when the relationship you had with the person was toxic, traumatic or abusive. While an offspring may love and adore their parent, if the parenting was dysfunctional or where the child/parent dynamic is askew (addictions, DV, instability etc), the grief will be very very different for that person

Nevertheless, I maintain her look is not about grief or weight loss, its simple cosmetic surgery
