A full-on open letter war is brewing!
In the past year, Kelly Osbourne has been receiving backlash from Lady Gaga‘s Little Monsters after making it a point to call the pop singer out for her weight gain on the show E!’s Fashion Police.

Lady Gaga responded to the criticism with an open letter to Kelly on her website LittleMonsters, reminding Kelly that teasing people for their looks is one of the number one forms of bullying. Now, Mama Osbourne is coming to protect her nest!
After Gaga wrote a letter that states she believes Kelly’s work on Fashion Police is “rooted in criticism, judgment, and rating people’s beauty against one another,” Sharon has written a letter of her own.

While calling Gaga a “bully,” since all of her fans have attacked Kelly non-stop, Sharon also writes, “Your open letter is hypocritical and full of contradictions.”
Check out Sharon Osbourne’s open letter to Lady Gaga below!
Ms. Gaga,
I am responding to your open letter to my daughter Kelly, and I am perplexed as to why you would go public with an open letter. Regarding this current situation; Kelly didn’t contact you, I was the one that contacted your manager today and the email is attached below for your reference.
I reached out to him as Kelly’s manager and mother to ask him if you could address your “little monster” fans and stop them from writing libelous, slanderous and vile comments about my family, including death threats to Kelly. Your open letter is hypocritical and full of contradictions. And as your mother Cynthia supports you, I support my daughter Kelly. I must say your opinions on what is politically correct and acceptable totally differ from mine, but that is what makes the world so interesting…we are all different.
How sweet that you have empathy for my daughter, as you feel that she has taken a less passionate path in life. You say her work on E! with the Fashion Police is “rooted in criticism, judgment, and rating people’s beauty against one another.” Welcome to the real world.
Example, when I saw you wear a dress made out of raw meat, I was sickened. When I see you wearing fur, and using it as a fashion statement, the fact that defenseless animals have been killed so you can get your picture in the press is abhorrent to me. Shouldn’t you be teaching your “little monster” fans to respect animals and life? I don’t feel I have to justify Kelly’s choices in life to you. By your actions to Kelly right now, you have shown me that you are nothing more than a publicly seeking hypocrite and an attention seeker. You know it would have been much more dignified of you to do this privately. I am calling you a bully because you have 32 million followers hanging on your every word and you are criticizing Kelly in your open letter. Are you so desperate that you needed to make this public?
You state “Everyday, through my music and public voice I choose to be positive and work towards a kinder and braver world with our community of followers.” Well this obviously is not translating well to your fans, as a large portion of them have not only been vile to Kelly, but also other celebrities such as Madonna, Adele and Rihanna. “You say a kinder, braver world” I don’t know what world you live in, but supporting disgraceful fan comments doesn’t fall under the words “kinder and braver.” It comes under the heading of bullsh*t.
In closing, stop wearing fur, stop looking for publicity, and stop using your fans to belittle not just Kelly but an endless stream of celebrities. A word from you would stop all the hideous, negative and vile threats from your “little monsters.” Let me know if you want to continue this debate. I’m an open playing field for you my darling.
Sincerely,
Sharon Osbourne

It doesn’t seem like there is much resolution that can be done right now, but we hope Kelly and Lady Gaga can work out their differences soon! And we don’t think Kelly needs her mom’s help on this one.
