Kelly Osbourne Says She's Permanently Cut Ties With Sister Aimee

Kelly Osbourne is not mincing words about her relationship with her older sister. On the“We Need to Talk”podcast, Kelly, 41, said she has permanently cut ties with Aimee, 43, and called the two of them“polar opposites”and“oil and water.”She also said Aimee never really acknowledged her or her brother Jack growing up, and that she believed Aimee was embarrassed by the family.

The Osbourne history makes the distance a little easier to understand. Aimee famously declined to appear on MTV’s“The Osbournes,”moved out at 16 to avoid the show, and has kept a low profile ever since. So when the family reunited at the 2026 Grammys to honor Ozzy following his death in July 2025, a lot of fans hoped it might be a new chapter for the sisters. According to Kelly, it wasn’t. She says she won’t keep people in her life who try to change her or seem to thrive when she’s struggling.
