LONDON: Singer-actress Kelly Osbourne allegedly slapped a British columnist for writing against her boyfriend and also warned her to “watch it” if she wrote about the incident afterwards.

Hollywood.com reports that Osbourne reportedly confronted Sunday Mirror journalist Zoe Griffin on Thursday at London nightclub Punk over an article in which she had written that Osbourne’s boyfriend, model Luke Worrall, doesn’t know how an earthquake is caused.

Griffin writes: “Osbourne shouted loudly in my ear: ‘I have an issue with you. My boyfriend knows what an earthquake is and everyone has been laughing at him and he’s upset.’ Then I felt a hard slap to my right cheekbone. I put my hand to my face while my friends looked on aghast. Soon Osbourne came rampaging back over with a female friend jabbing a finger in the air, telling me that I’d have to watch my back if I shared my story with readers of this column.”

Griffin added, “Well sorry Osbourne, I won’t be silenced by bullies.”
