Kelly Osbourne Blasts Becky Lynch Over “Disrespectful” Ozzy Line

The fallout from Becky Lynch's shocking promo on Monday Night Raw has officially crossed over from the world of sports entertainment into mainstream celebrity. This morning, Kelly Osbourne, daughter of the late rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, took to social media to fire back at the WWE Women's Intercontinental Champion for her tasteless comments.

A Promo That Crossed the Line

To recap, on last night's episode of Monday Night Raw in Birmingham, UK, Becky Lynch stood in the ring and refused to compete. She then launched into a tirade against the city, using the recent, tragic death of its hometown hero, Ozzy Osbourne, as the foundation for her insults. Birmingham's son, Osbourne, tragically passed away from a heart attack just last month. The rock legend's death came only two weeks after his final concert, aptly named "Back to the Beginning," which took place in his hometown.

Lynch stated that the only good thing to come out of Birmingham "died a month ago," a direct and cruel reference to Osbourne's passing. Here's exactly what she said:

"Because I am not wrestling in Birmingham," Lynch declared. "Yeah, the only good thing that came out of here died a month ago. But in fairness to Ozzy Osbourne, he had the good sense to move to LA, a proper city. Because if I lived in Birmingham, I'd die too."

The promo was used to build heat for her upcoming title defense against Nikki Bella at this Sunday's Clash in Paris, but it clearly struck a very real nerve.

The Osbourne Family Responds

Not content to let the champion's words go unanswered, Kelly Osbourne posted a fiery statement to her Instagram story, aimed directly at Becky Lynch and her employer, WWE. In her emotional post, Osbourne defended her father's memory and his beloved hometown. Interestingly, in her anger, she appeared to tag a Becky Lynch fan account rather than the champion's official page.

Kelly Osbourne wrote:

@beckylynch.fan11 you are a disrespectful dirtbag! Birmingham would not piss on you if you were on fire. #birminghamforever shame on the @wwe for allowing such things to be said about my father and his home!!!

Osbourne has made numerous appearances in WWE in the past, so you would assume the Osbournes would understand it's a work. But even assuming they do know it's a work, you can totally understand, how the family would still be offended as the wound is still very raw.

As of this morning, neither Becky Lynch nor WWE officials have issued a response to Kelly Osbourne's post. The situation adds an entirely new layer of intensity and real-world controversy to the lead-up to Clash in Paris. Even if it is a work, you can see how Kelly is offended.
