Kelly Osbourne is recalling her early days in Hollywood.
On a recent episode of her family's podcast, "The Osbournes Podcast," Kelly shared a rude incident with her co-hosts: her mother Sharon, father Ozzy and brother Jack.
"When I was a kid, I got pulled into the head of the agency's office, and he was putting golf balls into a cup and gave me a whole speech about how I was too fat for TV and I needed to lose weight, and that if I lost weight, I would look better," Kelly remembered.
The 39-year-old TV personality said it happened after she was cast in the 2003 film, "Freaky Friday." The adaptation of the 1976 movie starred Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan.

"I know everybody thinks I took Ozempic. I did not take Ozempic. I don’t know where that came from. My mom took Ozempic," Osbourne said.
Kelly told Extra she had embarked on her weight-loss journey due to health concerns.
"I had gestational diabetes, and I had to lose the weight that I had gained during pregnancy," Kelly said. "Otherwise I was at a higher risk of actually getting diabetes, which I did not want. I cut out sugar and carbohydrates and I rapidly lost weight."
