In a sign that time truly is a flat circle, tramp stamps are back, round sunglasses and corduroy are fashionable again, and Ozzy Osbourne and Britney Spears are somehow in the news after Ozzy ignited a beef with a low blow and Britney Spears immediately called it out and clapped back.
This all began on The Osbournes Podcast which stars Ozzy, Sharon, Kelly, and Jack who are still somehow cashing in on their reality TV fame that was launched with The Osbournes in 2002 at the height of the reality TV boom.
On a recent episode, Ozzy called out Britney Spears’ social media presence and behavior saying “you know, it’s sad. Very, very sad” in reference to Britney Spears ‘dancing’ all the time on social media. For what it’s worth, Ozzy has 6M followers on Instagram and Britney has 42.2 million so he should really be taking notes from her instead of criticizing.
After the ‘sad’ comment from Ozzy Osbourne, it didn’t take long for Britney Spears to get wind of what he said and respond. Britney posted a gallery of text explaining that (1) she doesn’t dance that often, (2) she’s rich, (3) her ‘ligature’ is immaculate, and (4) she’s going to do a photoshoot with Kate Beckinsale because she appears to have been watching Serendipity which is my personal #1 Rom-Com and somehow is tying Kate Beckinsale to this Ozzy Osbourne beef.

In the last slide, Britney Spears ended with the message “kindly f— off!!!” which seemed excessive to include the whole slide just for that message but she certainly ended with a bang.
This beef would have been perfect in the early oughts / late 90s TRL era. These are supernovae from a bygone era though Britney Spears is still a global celebrity and could sell out any arena in the world if she wanted, she has just slowed down considerably in recent years and with the Osbournes, Ozzy will forever be a rocker but Sharon’s been the bread winner in that family ever since their reality TV show took off and her talk show career exploded.
