Britney Spears Tells Ozzy Osbourne and Family to ‘Kindly F— Off’
The pop icon called the Osbournes "the most boring family known to mankind".

In a genre-crossing beef we certainly didn’t have on our 2024 bingo card, Britney Spears has issued a scathing response to the Osbourne family after rocker Ozzy Osbourne criticized her dancing videos on social media.
The “Toxic” singer took to Instagram on July 17 to express her disdain for the famous rock family, calling them “the most boring family known to mankind” and telling them to “kindly f*** off.”
The dispute began during a recent episode of “The Osbournes” podcast, where the Black Sabbath discussed TikTok dances before turning his attention to Spears.
“I’m fed up of seeing poor old Britney Spears on YouTube,” he said. “Every f–king day. It’s sad, very, very sad.” His daughter Kelly echoed his sentiments, saying she felt “sorry” for Spears, while matriarch Sharon Osbourne added, “Poor little thing.”
Spears, who has been under intense public scrutiny since the end of her 13-year conservatorship in 2021, defended herself in a lengthy Instagram post.
She also came to the defense of actress Kate Beckinsale, who has faced similar criticism for her social media content.
“I adore Kate Beckinsale, especially because she’s from London!” Spears wrote. “I realized how incredibly cruel people were talking about her IG, saying she needs more age-appropriate content… it’s pretty badass how she responded.”
Addressing her own situation, Spears continued, “Not as bad as some of my comments saying it’s sad that I’m as old as I am and I’m dancing every single day on my IG! Number 1) I hardly ever dance… and number 2) I’m not poor at all! I have more ligature in my left toe than any grown man or woman on earth!”
The “…Baby One More Time” hitmaker has become known for frequently posting dance videos on her Instagram, often in revealing outfits. The posts have elicited mixed reactions from fans and critics alike, with some expressing concern and others celebrating her newfound freedom of expression.
Spears went on to note the importance of supporting one another in the post. “I know what it’s like to be judged, but I think it’s important to HELP EACH OTHER and invite each other to places that help our souls grow!”
Her post concluded with a sharp message to the Osbournes: “I’m gonna do a photoshoot with Kate and tell the Osbourne family who is the most boring family known to mankind to kindly f— off!”
