Singer-songwriter Kelly Osbourne says being labelled a drug addict and fat really got to her at times.
The 31-year-old British songtress said she experienced the same self-consciousness and insecurities that everyone else faces, reported People magazine.
"I have been publicly labelled everything from a drug addict, fat, a racist, a spoilt brat, talentless, too skinny to America's Sweetheart.
"As a result of this, I would do anything to not be me. I would go to bed praying to wake up anyone else but myself," Osbourne said.
The "One Word" hitmaker feels people at times just forget that even celebrities are human beings.
"A big misconception about fame is that sometimes people forget that you are human; that you too deal with the issues that all women face, ranging from self-worth, body image, societal beauty standards, and the feeling of needing to be perfect," she said.
However, Osbourne has finally realised that she would never be able to please everyone, and that she doesn't need to.
