Ozzy Osbourne’s mistress suing Kelly Osbourne for slut shaming her

Cape Town – The hairdresser who had a four-year affair with Ozzy Osbourne has filed a lawsuit against his daughter Kelly for publicly slut shaming her.

Michelle Pugh is seeking compensatory damages after Kelly shared her private phone number on Twitter.

In the now deleted tweet, Kelly wrote: “Anyone looking for cheap chunky LOW-lights a blow out and a blowjob call (the number) (sic).”

Michelle’s lawyer F. Edie Mermelstein told People: “Michelle is taking a stand against cyber harassment and bullying at the hands of Kelly Osbourne. 

“In the age of social media, reality TV and the internet, anyone, especially a celebrity can launch a global attack leaving an indelible and permanent stain on a chosen target, while inciting masses to demean, degrade, comment and harass.”

She added: “Kelly Osbourne, with over four million followers and a strong media presence, intentionally did exactly that to Michelle Pugh on Twitter.”

Michelle’s lawsuit against Kelly states: “Not only had Plaintiff begun to be slut-shamed, bullied, and harassed for allegedly breaking up a marriage, but was wrongfully accused of a crime that further held her up to ridicule, hate, and shame.”
