Kelly Osbourne is speaking out against so-called cancel culture after her mom, Sharon Osbourne, stepped down from her role as co-host of The Talk.

The 36-year-old talked to Extra about her recent sobriety relapse, struggles with weight, and the cultural moment were in.

After acknowledging that the world is scary right now, Osbourne told the publication that she didnt know what was really going on in America because she previously just thought that simply being not racist was enough.

Its not, its actually not, you have to be actively not racist and educate yourself and learn, and dont be afraid to make a mistake, she said. Everybodys so afraid of cancel culture, I say fuck cancel culture, its all about counsel culture educate people, teach people ... a gentle nudge in the right direction is so much better than a public execution.

Osbournes words come just weeks after Sharon Osbourne longtime host of The Talk defended TV personality and noted troll Piers Morgan for remarks he made following Oprah Winfreys interview of Meghan Markle.

Sharon Osbourne later sat down with her co-host Sheryl Underwood to unpack the racism at play in Morgans rhetoric. A heated exchange ensued, prompting Sharon Osbourne to tell Underwood : I feel even like Im about to be put in the electric chair because I have a friend who many people think is a racist, so that makes me a racist ... How can I be racist about anybody or anything in my life?

The show then went on hiatus and, weeks later, CBS issued a statement saying that Sharon Osbournes behavior was upsetting to everyone involved, including the audience watching at home.
