The Osbournes are apologizing to the legendary Ms. Britney Spears. Sort of.
The famous family offered their mea culpa to Spears, 42, on the latest episode of their “The Osbournes Podcast” after criticizing the singer’s “sad” Instagram dance moves — an appraisal that earned them Spears’ ire.
“Sorry, Britney – we still think you rock!” Ozzy captioned the Instagram post with a clip from their most recent podcast, in which they tried to make amends with the pop princess.
“Can we apologize to Britney Spears?” Kelly Osbourne, 39, began.
“Britney, I really owe you an apology,” Ozzy Osbourne, 75, replied. “I’m so sorry for making that comment,” he added, referring to his previous aspersion.
But the legendary rock star was unable to keep things purely positive. “However, it would be better if you didn’t do the same f—king dance every day,” he said. “Change a few movements.”
In the video clip, Ozzy’s son Jack, 38, let out a loud laugh after hearing that. Kelly, on the other hand, looked mortified.
“Alright, I was gonna say, ‘Britney, never stop dancing, I love your dancing. It makes you happy, and I am so sorry if any of us offended you,” she stated.
Meanwhile, Sharon, 71, also appeared a bit squeamish at Ozzy’s half-apology, saying, “Listen, I like Britney.”
But before she could continue, Ozzy interjected, “I love Britney Spears! But it’s the same dance every day.”
Kelly then quipped, “No. Sometimes she has knives.” That remark sent Jack howling once more.
The Black Sabbath frontman tried to bring things back around by saying, “I really do apologize. I love you, and I think you’re beautiful.”
Jack, however, seemingly unable to help himself, added, “But mix it up.”
The Osbournes’ olive branch to Spears comes over a week after the “Oops! … I Did It Again” hitmaker slammed the family for critiquing the videos she often posts to Instagram of her dancing, usually filmed in the foyer of her mansion.
Ozzy said he was “fed up of seeing poor Britney Spears on YouTube … Every f–king day.” He continued, “It’s sad, very, very sad.”
Sharon labeled Spears a “poor little thing,” saying her situation is “heartbreaking” and “very sad indeed.”
Jack shared his parents’ sentiment, saying the whole thing is “very, very sad,” and later declaring, “Save Britney.”
For her part, Kelly said, “I feel so sorry for her.”
Unsurprisingly, Spears was none too pleased with the Osbourne family’s remarks.
“[T]ell the Osbourne family who is the most boring family known to mankind to kindly f–k off!!!” the singer wrote in a since-deleted post on social media.
Spears’ post began by asking her fans if they had seen the Kate Beckinsale movie “Serendipity.” She then praised the actress for clapping back at online trolls who criticize her for, in Spears’ words, not posting “age appropriate” content.
“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!!” Spears said of the negative comments Beckinsale receives on her social posts. As for her dancing videos, Spears said that she “hardly ever” dances.
“I know what it’s like to be judged,” the Grammy winner went on. “But I think it’s important to help each other and invite each other to places that help our souls grow !!!”
She continued, “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 ???”
