Responding to the question from her fan, the 38-year-old  revealed that she kept her pregnancy out of social media to avoid being body shamed on social media. “There are no pictures of me pregnant,” she wrote. “I hid for 9 months, because I did not want to get fat shamed.”

Osbourne also replied to another question from the Instagram user asking whether she had surgery done recently, because she was looking different. She squashed the rumors saying, “It’s just from weight loss. Honestly, I’ve only had Botox.”
