CHARITY DROPS SUPPORT FOR OSBOURNE ADS
British royal PRINCE CHARLES’ charity has axed its support for a self-est eem campaign featuring KELLY OSBOURNE after complaints over airbrushed pi ctures of the star.
Ozzy Osbourne’s daughter fronts an advert for tanning firm St Tropez, e xplaining how a healthy glow from the product made her feel slimmer.
She said, "I looked, like, 10 pounds skinnier and it started to make me look at my body in a different way." But the campaign has been blasted by officials at British organisation PinkStinks - which campaigns for positive role models for teenage girls - amid claims the shots of reality TV star Osbourne have been digitally al tered.
Bosses at The Prince’s Trust, a charity founded by Charles, Prince of W ales in 1976, had endorsed the campaign, and the organisation’s logo appe ared in a promo video - but it has since been removed.
PinkStinks founder Emma Moore tells U.K. newspaper The Times, "When we first saw the video we were gobsmacked. There are so many damaging and mi xed messages.
"They are talking about self-esteem and then there are pictures of Kell y Osbourne airbrushed to within an inch of her life. To have those messag es endorsed by a high-profile charity seemed very wrong." (CL&ZN/WNBTI/IG
