Kelly Osbourne says her physique is ‘pickled’ from ‘medicine and alcohol’
Kelly Osbourne is hopeful that her past drug use will keep her from getting cancer.
On the latest episode of her family’s The Osbournes podcast, the 39-year-old former reality television star said, ‘I’m hoping that I’ve embalmed myself so I don’t ever get cancer.’
She added lightheartedly: ‘I’m pickled from all the drugs and alcohol, for sure.’
Her younger brother Jack, 38, warned, ‘I don’t think it works that way. But I’m no doctor.’
It was also mentioned that colorectal cancer runs in their family — mom Sharon Osbourne, now 71, battled the illness in the early 2000s.

‘Apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree,’ Kelly noted.
An ER doctor named Dr. Greg was a guest on the latest installment of the show, and jokingly added: ‘I, for one, have never heard of substances you put into your body causing ill effects of any kind.’
Kelly has not shied away from discussing her past substance abuse issues.
In 2021 she revealed on the Facebook series Red Table Talk that it started with an opioid prescription when she was just 13-years-old.
‘I kept getting sick and I had a really bad case of tonsillitis, they ended up having to give me some crazy surgery, and then after that, they gave me Vicodin.
‘And that was all I needed,’ she recalled.
Osbourne explained further, ‘I went from having every voice in my head being like, “You’re fat, you’re ugly, you’re not good enough, no one likes you, you don’t deserve this, people only like you because of who your parents are.”
‘And then all of a sudden, every single voice was silenced and it felt like life gave me a hug.’

These days Kelly is focused on raising her son Sidney, who she gave birth to in 2022
The former Fashion Police co-host went on to say, ‘I was like, “Why am I so confident in all of this?”
‘And then very quickly I went from Vicodin to Percocet, from Percocet to heroin eventually, because it was cheaper.’
In 2021 she told Extra about a brief relapse: ‘I am an addict and had thought that I had enough time under my belt and I could drink like a normal person, and it turns out I cannot and I will never be normal.
‘I don’t know why I even tried it. It’s not for me and it took me a matter of days and I was like done, not doing this.’
