This Is Why Ozzy’s Oldest Daughter Aimée Wasn’t On The Osbournes
Ever since the '60s, people have loved to watch the eccentric frontman of Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne. He's so entertaining to observe that he's become a television personality along with the rest of his immediate family. Well, all but one family member: Ozzy and Sharon's firstborn, Aimée. When The Osbournes aired on MTV, Aimée was not present, causing many to be unaware that the rock couple had a third child. With all of the attention that Jack and Kelly have received from the show, you may wonder how Aimée feels. Read on to find out why she's glad she stayed out of it.
Meet Aimée Osbourne
Aimée Osbourne is a musician and the eldest child of rockstar Ozzy Osbourne. Though you may not recognize her, it isn't hard to tell at first glance who her parents are. She has a striking resemblance to both Sharon and Ozzy, and an eclectic yet classy style to boot.
Like Ozzy, Aimée is the lead vocalist of a band, though hers isn't heavy metal. Instead, she creates synth-pop, a type of new wave music named after the prominent synthesizer instrument. The name of Aimée's group is her initials, ARO, and has been described as "eerily beautiful."
The Eldest Osbourne Child
Aimée was born in 1983, a time when Ozzy was hot off releasing three stellar solo albums. She later appeared in a few documentaries that highlight the rockstar's music career. Still, she always sought out privacy.
In a radio interview with New York's Q1043, Aimée said, "For me, I had grown up around having a pretty well-known dad anyway, and ... I always really valued my privacy within that family." Rather than trying to capitalize on her father's fame, Aimée wanted to recede from it.
The Black Sheep Of The Family
Though Aimée has her father's impeccable connection to music, she stood out in the family from a young age. Where the Osbournes are full of a wild liveliness, Aimée has a reserved wisdom about her. She's even joked that she was more mature when she was younger.
Considering she left home at the young age of 16, we would believe it. While speaking with Q1043, she went so far as to describe herself as a "loner" in her adolescence.
Sharon Admitted Aimée's Move Broke Her Heart
In an interview with The Talk, Sharon admitted that it broke her heart when Aimée moved out at such a young age. At the same time, she knew precisely why her eldest daughter was doing so. It wasn't because of teen angst, and it wasn't a phase.
Sharon explained, "She moved out because she didn't want to grow up on camera. She hated the idea — it was appalling to her." Many teens would kill to be on television, but Aimée was different.
She Loved Her Inner World
Rather than being focused on the kind of external reality that shows project on TV, Aimée preferred to become lost in her thoughts. She explained to Q1043 that she would spend hours listening to music in her room and "creating this kind of inner world in my head."
She believed that being a reality star would mean submitting to the will of the producers, who are governed by ratings. While Aimée's animated family rose to reality TV fame, Aimée spent her time going in different direction.
Her Acting Stint
Of the handful of productions that Aimée has been in, there were only two where she did not play herself. Most of the time she was on camera, it was in relation to her famous father. The first major production that she performed in was MTV's 2003 Wuthering Heights.
Aimée showed off her acting skills as the character Raquel alongside castmates Katherine Heigl and Mike Vogel. Her second acting performance was a voiceover role in the animated comedy Postman Pat.
Taking Time To Grow Up
Though Aimée appeared in a few fictional productions, she pumped the breaks when it came to establishing herself as an artist. She told Q1043 that part of her resistance to the limelight was that she wanted to "develop into a human being as opposed to just being remembered for being a teenager."
While she acknowledges that the show worked out well for the rest of her family, she is sure that the route wouldn't have worked for herself. She says it, "didn't really line up with what I saw my future as."
She Values Her Privacy
If there's one thing that big celebrities come to value, it's their privacy. The more famous you become, the more information gets passed on about you. With so many interpretations of who you are, it can be hard to remember who your true self is.
Perhaps the greatest sign of her wisdom is that she knew from a young age that privacy was something to be cherished. She told Q1043, "I always really valued my privacy."
She's Happy For The Rest Of Her Family
Though Aimée is the obvious black sheep of the Osbourne family, she still appreciates them and is supportive of their success. She said that the show, "definitely worked great for the rest of my family."
She continued, "but for me, and who I am, I just knew it was never something that I would have been able to consider realistically." Being able to embrace the differences of even those closest to her is a testament to Aimée's strong sense of self.
She Keeps A Low-Profile As A Musician
Though Aimée formed ARO back in 2010, they've only performed a few times. The band's thousands of followers on Instagram are modest compared to that of her family members, but we have a feeling Aimée prefers it that way.
After all, the group has only released singles and has gone up to a year without a social media presence. Many of the things you'd expect someone to do to get famous, Aimée does the opposite. Perhaps that's the way she stays true to herself.
Kelly Osbourne Couldn't Be More Different Than Aimée
Often times, siblings will have opposite character traits, and that certainly seems to be the case between Aimée and Kelly Osbourne. From her famous purple mohawk to her presence in the fashion community, everything about Kelly screams, "Check me out."
To top it off, Kelly became a star on The Osbournes, which even won an Emmy for Outstanding Reality Program. Kelly used the opportunity to launch her first album, Shut Up, which peaked at number 1.
Staying In The Limelight
Kelly leaped into her acting and singing career as soon as she could. After The Osbournes, Kelly voiced Wendy in Peter Pan, starred in Cambridge Theatre's Chicago, and began hosting and judging various shows and ceremonies.
On top of that, she also walked the runway for Heatherette and became the face of Accessorize. In 2008, she even became an advice columnist for The Sun's "Kelly Confidential," where she was deemed "the teen troubleshooter".
Her Weight Loss Journey Began On Dancing With The Stars
Kelly has admitted to being an emotional eater. Her path to a healthier version of herself began with Dancing On The Stars. Her dance partner, Louis Van Amstel, helped coach her not just in dance, but also in nutrition.
All of the exercise, combined with her improved diet, helped Kelly shed 20 pounds throughout the season. Best of all, she was doing something that she loved and getting all of the positive attention she craved.
Her First Weight Transformation
Kelly didn't stop her weight loss journey when her season on Dancing With The Stars ended. Her mom, Sharon, introduced Kelly to her trainer, and the trio got to work. By the time trainer, Sarah Hagaman had finished with Kelly, she was 50 pounds down!
When the star arrived at the Dancing with the Stars 200th episode premiere in 2010, she looked radiant as ever posing next to her former dance partner. He couldn't have been more proud of how far she had come.
Her Friends Keep Her Motivated
One thing that helps Kelly get and stay fit is working out with friends. She told The Sun, "My girlfriends and I just started doing plyometrics. It's a killer-it hurts so much. But when you walk out of there, you're like, 'I can't believe I just did that and my body looks this good.'"
Being that Kelly is a social butterfly, it's no surprise that she gets motivation by being around others. While Aimée is an introvert who thrives out of the limelight, her sister is her true opposite.
Becoming A Fashion Police Officer
After all of her modeling stints and appearances on fashion shows, Kelly was the perfect candidate to appear on Fashion Police. Her bubbly character helped balance out Joan River's harsh jokes, which became lighter when Kelly giggled at them.
She left the show in 2015 and became a judge on Australia's Got Talent the same year. It's clear that Kelly thrived in front of the camera, more specifically in front of people, regardless of what she was doing.
Gaining Back Some Weight
Like many people, Kelly tends to fluctuate in her weight. By 2018, much of the weight she had lost earlier in the decade had made its way back. Kelly looks incredible at any size, but she wanted to make sure that her health was tip top.
Since she's admitted that emotions impact her weight, the first order of business was making sure that she was mentally in a good place. That proved to be a challenge in the following year.
Determined To Make A Change
Kelly admitted in an Instagram post that 2019 was a struggle of a year. She wrote, "In many ways, it has been amazing especially in terms of self-growth. In many ways it has been gut-wrenchingly difficult."
She continued, "However, through all the good and bad it has been incredibly educational for me. I have come to the realization that I constantly put the needs of others before my own." Kelly went on to explain how she was ready to change.
She Dropped 85 Pounds The Healthy Way
Half a year after Kelly cheers to a new year, new her, she revealed to fans that she wasn't joking around. The star dropped a whopping 85 pounds, revealing a version of herself that no one had seen before.
At an all-time low weight as an adult, Kelly became difficult to recognize. What was more apparent than ever was how similar she looks to her mother, Sharon Osbourne. Fans were amazed at the impressive transformation.
Loving Her New Body
Kelly may be more lean than ever, but that's not what her goal was. She aimed to transform herself on the inside when she started 2020. Any changes on the outside were mere side effects of the change in mindset and by extension lifestyle.
Future weight fluctuations are beside the point because life isn't about a destination. Kelly is doing her best to take care of herself and to stay true to who she is, which is one way that she's just like her sister, Aimée.
