Kelly Osbourne Claps Back at Body Shamers... 'Go F**k Yourself!!!'
Kelly Osbourne isn't backing down to social media trolls commenting on her appearance since her dad died. She's got 3 words for them ... "go f*** yourself."
The British singer and actress delivered the apropos message in a now-deleted Instagram story. She outed some of her followers for writing things like, "Are you ill?" or "Get off Ozempic" or "You don't look right" in response to her appearance.
But Kelly has been in the public eye since she was a teenager, and she says it's unfair for people online -- some of whom she says are "grown-ass women" who "look like they have weight struggles of their own" -- to compare her 41-year-old body to the one she had at 18.

There's trouble in the grand jury room where witnesses are testifying about the circumstances surrounding Celeste Rivas' death ... because at least one witness is so uncooperative she's about to be arrested ... TMZ has learned.
Here's the way it went down ... Beth Silverman, the deputy D.A. presenting the case in Los Angeles, came out into the hallway Wednesday afternoon and approached attorney Evan Jenness. She represents Robert Morgenroth, who manages singer D4vd.
Silverman told Jenness she was going to have the judge issue a "body attachment" ... to force a female witness to testify before the grand jury. It appears the female witness was a no-show, and a visibly frustrated Silverman said she would have authorities take the female witness into custody and bring her to the courtroom.
We do not know who the female witness is, but it's interesting she's represented by the same lawyer as Morgenroth, who spent around 3 days testifying before the grand jury.
