On November 30, the former "Fashion Police" co-host shared a screenshot of an email from the outlet on her Instagram stories. 

The tabloid asked the TV personality to comment on their upcoming story, which insensitively stated that she had gained a "tremendous amount of weight."

The news outlet claimed that sources informed them that the "So Undercover" star's weight was caused by stress eating due to her recent relapse. 

The alleged email also claimed that doctors believed Osbourne's weight gain made her vulnerable to coronavirus. The concluding part of the message contained the contact information of the tabloid's editor-in-chief, Dan Dolan.

Although the news outlet wanted the entertainer to comment on their story, "The Osbournes" star responded epically by writing:

The Blast previously reported that the "Project Runway Junior" judge was receiving treatment at a rehabilitation facility after achieving nearly four years of sobriety.

The TV personality has struggled with alcohol addiction for a good portion of her life, but like the mythical Phoenix, the 37-year-old keeps rising from the ashes.

The "Masked Singer" star got emotional about her relapse with fans on social media and revealed she was on the road to recovery after one glass of champagne reignited her old habits.

True to her word, Osbourne celebrated 5 months of sobriety on her 37th birthday in October. The birthday girl marked the milestone on Instagram with a sweet post.

What Caused "The Osbournes" Alum's Relapse?

In June, The Blast revealed the emotional story behind the "Fierce" author's relapse, which she shared during an appearance on the "Red Table Talk."

The daughter of the iconic rock star opened up about her struggles that began once the entertainer reintroduced alcohol into her life.

The "Dancing With The Stars" Alum was tempted to try a glass of champagne after watching a couple enjoy the drink by the pool. Because she survived the pandemic without drinking, Osbourne believed she was cured. 

Alas, one glass turned into several bottles, and the TV personality realized she was in a bad place after ending up "shitfaced" on her boyfriend's couch. This was the moment the 37-year-old decided to be sober again.
