Kelly Osbourne is opening up about her past with drugs and giving up her acting career to tend to her mother, Sharon after she was diagnosed with cancer. She tells Cosmo UK, “I’ve been to rehab seven times and to two mental institutions. My mum even had me put in a padded cell once to scare me, but like a brat I just sat it out until she said, ‘Well, that’s not going to work’. But what I’ve learnt is that no amount of therapy or medication is going to work unless you want it to. Until you want to be a good person, you will never be one.” Kelly also talked about during drugs alone, “I was never one of those people who was like, ‘Let’s party; let’s go and do loads of coke’. In fact, I would never even tell anyone I had drugs because I wanted them all to myself. I was quite selfish. What changed for me was looking around and seeing that nobody liked me or wanted to work with me.”
Kelly also divulges she had nabbed an acting role in ‘Freaky Friday’ but had to give it up to tend to her mother, Sharon who was diagnosed with cancer.”When I was 18, I was set to play Lindsay Lohan’s best friend in Freaky Friday. Then my mum got diagnosed with cancer. I was faced with the choice of a career or spending what could have been the last days of my mother’s life with her. I said, ‘F**k you, career, hello, Mother’. I became my mum’s nurse 24/7. I thought I was going to lose her – it was awful.”
