Hollywood actress, singer and TV host, Kelly Osbourne has spoken out about how she got addicted to drinking from a very young age.
Kelly Osbourne appeared on Jaden Pinkett Smith’s show “The Red Table Talk” to talk about the moments of insecurity that led her to turn to alcohol.
In an exclusive clip shared by E! News on Wednesday, June 2, the former Fashion Police host explained to Jada Pinkett-Smith, Willow Smith and Adrienne Banfield-Norris what it was like growing up with her father, Ozzy Osbourne, who drank heavily.
Kelly, who is in recovery from substance abuse also revealed she recently relapsed after four years of sobriety.
“I was introduced to alcohol because I came from an alcoholic family,” she explained on the Facebook talk show.
” I grew up with my father being extremely, if not probably the heaviest drinker I’ve ever seen in my life.”
She continued: “The alcohol was there. I moved to America, and I was 13. I was so foreign. I couldn’t be more foreign. Very English. Most of the time people didn’t understand what I was saying. I didn’t really fit in anywhere, so I got really, really insecure.”
Kelly Osbourne who has spent time in rehab for substance abuse, opened up about relapsing in an Instagram Live in April.
“This is a little hard for me to talk about, but I’ve always promised you that I will always be honest with you about where I’m at and what’s going on in my road to recovery,” she shared at the time.
“I relapsed. Not proud of it, but I am back on track.”
Kelly Osbourne explained that while she is “sober today” and plans to be “sober tomorrow,” this battle is “truly is just one day at a time.”
“It’s never going to be easy. Through being accountable and owning your own journey and sharing what you can, though, you can help other people. That’s why I came clean. I could have sat here, and nobody would know.”
A decade ago, Kelly—who, at the time, had gone on a fitness journey—spoke about how the media treated her when she was at a heavier weight, in comparison to how she was discussed during her drug addiction recovery.
“I took more hell for being fat than I did for being an absolute raging drug addict,” she told Us Weekly in 2010. “I will never understand that.”
