Ozzy Osbourne has apologized to pop star Britney Spears after she was upset about his criticism of her dance videos.

The “Toxic” singer told the British rocker and his family to “please fuck off” after they commented on the clips she shares on TikTok and Instagram in an episode of her podcast. The Osbournes.

In the episode, which aired on July 16, the Black Sabbath frontman said he was “sick of seeing poor old Britney Spears” dancing every “f***ing day… it’s sad, very, very sad.”

Then his children joined in the appeal: Jack joked “Save Britney” in reference to the viral campaign to release Spears from conservatorship, and Kelly noted that she felt “sorry” for the singer.

Spears, 42, soon challenged the family in a lengthy post on Instagram: “I’m going to… tell the Osbourne family, the most boring family known to man, to fuck off!” she said.

In the latest episode of The Osbournes, On The 40 Fingers, which aired Monday, July 29, Kelly asked if the family could apologize to Spears after the backlash over her initial comments.

“Britney, I really owe you an apology,” Ozzy, 75, replied. “I’m so sorry I made that comment.”

“However,” he continued, “it would be better if you didn’t do the same damn dance every day. Change a few moves.”

Kelly then intervened and told Spears to “never stop dancing.”

“I love your dancing, it makes you happy and I am so sorry if any of us have offended you,” she said.

“I’m really sorry,” Ozzy repeated. “I love you and I think you’re beautiful.”

Spears has largely stayed out of the entertainment industry since the end of her 13-year involuntary conservatorship, during which her estranged father, Jamie Spears, took control of her business and personal life.

In her response to the Osbournes, she seemed to compare herself to actress Kate Beckinsale, who in May responded to trolls who called her “too skinny” in comments under an Instagram video of her dancing.

“I adore Kate Beckinsale, especially because she is from London,” Spears wrote.

“I realised how incredibly cruel people were being about her Instagram, saying she needed more age-appropriate content… she’s in her 50s and I thought it was pretty gross how she responded by wearing a mini bow in her hair and literally looking like she was four years old.”

She noted that the comments Beckinsale received were not “as bad as some of my comments saying it’s sad that I’m so old and I still dance on my Instagram every day!”

Beckinsale then thanked Spears for her defense: “Women supporting women, that’s my favorite thing to do,” she said.
