Kelly Osbourne has launched a furious public rebuke against World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) for what she deems a 'disrespectful' and unauthorized use of her late father's music.
The emotional clash erupted after the wrestling giant used the Black Sabbath anthem 'Crazy Train' during a televised event, a move the Osbourne family claims was done without their knowledge or consent.
Taking to social media, a visibly upset Kelly did not mince her words. She expressed the profound hurt caused to her family, stating that exploiting her father's legacy so soon after his passing for entertainment purposes was a deep violation.
The iconic track, synonymous with Ozzy Osbourne's legendary career, was played as a wrestler's entrance theme. For the grieving family, this wasn't a tribute but a tasteless commercial exploitation that crossed a line.
This incident raises significant questions about the ethical use of an artist's likeness and work posthumously. It highlights the ongoing tension between public tribute and private grief, and who ultimately holds the right to a legacy.
As of now, WWE has not issued a public statement in response to Kelly Osbourne's strong condemnation. The controversy continues to spark debate among fans and commentators alike.
