‘It sticks with you’: Sharon Osbourne claims she was fat-shamed by her estranged brother David who made cruel jibes about her weight

Sharon Osbourne has accused her estranged brother David Arden of fat-shaming her.

The TV star, 67, who has not spoken to her brother in 13 years, told how he and his friends would make jibes about her weight which has stayed with her ever since. 

Speaking on US chat show The Talk, Sharon said: ‘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.

‘It’s been going on for hundreds of years, people going on about people’s weight. And it never will end.’

Sharon and David stopped speaking after they fell out over where to lay their father Don Arden to rest.

The former X Factor judge has previously claimed she has given her brother up to £500,000 in cash to help him over the years.

According to The Mirror, she previously said of her sibling: ‘I think he looks at me and my family, all successful, and it eats away at him.’

David previously accused Sharon of having had so much cosmetic surgery that it had left her ‘unrecognisable’. 

The star added that she does not want her children, Aimee, 36, Kelly, 35, and Jack, 34, to speak to David again despite his pleas for contact.  

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.’

It comes after Sharon claimed women ‘are not happy’ when they are overweight, as she commented on Adele’s recent weight loss.

The TV personality reflected on her own weight loss journey which saw her lose seven stone as she gave her thoughts on the singer, 32, slimming down

Sharon said on The Talk: ‘When these women say that they are really happy in their body I don’t believe them.

‘My body was really, really big. But I wasn’t happy. Sure on the surface, but at night in bed alone I was very unhappy.’

Talking about the Chasing Pavements hitmaker she said: ‘I totally understand with Adele. It was her time to lose weight that’s all in her journey and her life.

‘She must have felt you know what I am going to try and lose weight for wherever reason – health I am sure.

‘You know what she looks absolutely fantastic. I am happy for her and everybody should be happy for her, because it was her choice.

‘She didn’t do it for anybody else but herself. And so everybody should be happy for her,’ Sharon added.
