AceShowbiz - Sharon Osbourne's brother David has slammed the star, after she accused him of humiliating her over her weight.
The 67-year-old wife of Black Sabbath rocker Ozzy Osbourne opened up about the lasting impact his words had on her during an episode of her U.S. TV show The Talk late last month, May 2020.
"I used to get fat-shamed by my brother," she said. (He) used to get his friends to join in. It sticks with you. At times I was bigger than others. My weight has always (gone up and down), and that's it."
Sharon and David haven't spoken in 13 years, after they fell out over where to bury their father Don Arden, but speaking to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper he fired back at the allegations and accused his sister of lying.
"There are NO pictures of her being overweight before the age 22, the reason being she was NOT," he insisted. "She was naturally well built. Her weight problems did not begin until she was aged 22/23 after she split from her longtime boyfriend, from memory this led to her constantly having her hand in the cookie jar. But the fat-shaming by me and my friends is complete fiction."
David continued, "She is bad... her past exploits will come to haunt her. With regards to me constantly trying to contact her, utter fantasy, it would be like me wanting to contact Hitler or Dracula."
In a previous interview, Sharon claimed she has given her brother nearly $605,000 in cash to help him over the years, but while David has apparently tried to get in touch with Sharon and Ozzy's three children, she doesn't want them to respond to his pleas.
