Sharon Osbourne fat-shamed by own brother - and hasn't spoken to him in 13 years

The feud between Sharon Osbourne and her brother has exploded into public again – with her accusing him of being cruel about her weight.

Sharon, 67, said of David Arden: “I used to get fat shamed by my brother. [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.”

Speaking on The Talk, America’s version of Loose Women, she added: “It’s been going on for hundreds of years, people going on about people’s weight.

"And it never will end.”

Sharon has not spoken to David, 69, for 13 years.

They fell out in 2007 over where to lay to rest their dad, legendary music manager Don Arden, who handled bands such as Black Sabbath, ELO and the Small Faces.

Sharon, married to Black Sabbath co-founder Ozzy Osbourne, 71, has previously claimed she has given David around half a million pounds in cash help over the years.

She once said: “I think he looks at me and my family, all successful, and it eats away at him.”

David previously accused Sharon of having undergone so much plastic surgery she was “unrecognisable”.

She said she never wants her children – Aimee, Jack, and Kelly – to speak to him again despite his pleas for contact.

Former X Factor judge Sharon said: “It seems all he wants is our money. I want absolutely nothing to do with him.

“David knows that everything is going to my kids, but he seems to think he can get a few hundred grand out of my husband in his will... even though he’s said horrible things about Ozzy behind his back.

"It’s disgusting.”
