Britney Spears has responded after Ozzy Osbourne and his family commented on her dancing videos on a recent episode of The Osbournes Podcast. In the episode, which aired July 16, Osbourne said he was “fed up with seeing poor old Britney Spears on YouTube. Every fucking day.” He added “You know, it’s sad. Very, very sad” as his family members agreed.
You know who does not agree? Spears, who posted a lengthy statement on Instagram saying she planned to “tell the Osbourne family who is the most boring family known to mankind to kindly fuck off!!!”
In the statement, Spears recalls Kate Beckinsale’s iconic rom-com Serendipity and praises the actress for standing up for herself on social media. She wrote that she “thought it was pretty badass” about Beckinsale responded to critics online, adding that “I hardly ever dance” and “I’m not poor at all!!!”
“I know what it’s like to be judged,” Spears wrote. “But I think it’s important to help each other and invite each other to places that help our souls grow !!!… What are you gonna do to help someone out and bring their dreams to life besides being like me and Kate’s haters saying we’re too old or don’t have appropriate content ??? Do you think perhaps they might be offended by what they see ???”
The singer concluded the post by saying she hoped to do a photoshoot with Beckinsale before telling the Osbourne family to “fuck off.”

Spears later added a second Instagram post featuring herself dancing joyously.
The subject of Spears came up on the Osbournes’ podcast after a listener asked Kelly Osbourne whether she would ever post TikTok dances. “I don’t know how to do TikTok dances,” she said. I don’t know where anybody would ever think that I would.”
Sharon Osbourne then jumped in to note, “It seems to me that TikTok, when it first started, were people doing silly dances. But now it’s developed into so much more.” It was then that Ozzy offered his opinion on Spears, with the rest of the family chiming in. “I feel so sorry for her,” Kelly said, while Sharon called her a “poor little thing.”
