“I have been a drug addict, an alcoholic … I’ve been a complete mess, disrespectful to people, horrible — but I got more s–t for being fat than I did for anything else. It’s insane,” Osbourne, 40, added.

The former reality TV star said any article that comes out about her always receives backhanded comments from trolls about her figure.

“People [would] say, ‘You’re so pretty. Why don’t you just lose a little bit of weight, and then you’ll be the total package?'” she recalled.

“I tried probably everything that there is out there, whether it be surgery, medication, diet and exercise,” she explained.
