During a conversation with her son, Jack Osbourne, on a recent episode of “The Osbournes Podcast<\/a>,” Sharon said that while she “understand[s] [that] everybody needs their platform,” she also understands that “everybody needs relief from what’s going on in the world.”<\/p>\n “Everybody needs that escape,” she said. “And the thing is, it’s like I understand that people get really emotional about things politically.\u00a0<\/p>\n “So, when they are on TV knowing that there’s 15 [to] 16 million people in this country alone watching, they want to use that platform to show everybody how emotional they personally are about a situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n OPRAH ACCEPTED BEING SUBJECT OF JOKES ABOUT HER WEIGHT DUE TO SELF-BLAME, SAYS ‘I FELT THEY WERE RIGHT’<\/a><\/p>\n “And I get it, but they’ve also got to get that Joe Public needs a f—ing break.”<\/p>\n She said that while they may have that “huge platform” when accepting whatever award they have just won, they need to understand, “it’s not always about you” and that those watching at home are already living in “fear.”<\/p>\n Sharon spoke about how she feels about people giving political speeches at award shows.

Kelly took to Instagram earlier this month to call out the body shamers.<\/p>\n “There is a special kind of cruelty in harming someone who is clearly going through something,” she wrote on her Instagram story. “Kicking me while I’m down, doubting my pain, spreading my struggles as gossip, and turning your back when I need support and love most.”<\/p>\n CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER<\/a><\/p>\n She added that the comments about her weight show “a profound absence of compassion and character” as she is “going through the hardest time in my life.”<\/p>\n Kelly’s appearance at the Brit Awards sparked concerns.
