Ever since her conservatorship ended, Britney Spears has been posting endless videos in which she is dancing away and living her best life.

While fans have been hyping up the often steamy displays, including one where the 42-year-old pop icon wielded knives,Ozzy Osbourne has had enough.

The Black Sabbath legend, who is struggling with his health, shared on his podcast with wife Sharon and kids Jack and Kelly that he was ‘fed up’ with constantly seeing Britney dancing.

She does have a penchant for posting videos of her outfits or short clips of impromptu dances to songs, having been given autonomy back over her life after 13 years.

He criticised the ‘poor old’ Toxic hitmaker for posting ‘every f**king day,’ which drew the attention of her fierce supporters.

Fans told Ozzy, 75, to simply ‘stop watching’ if it bothered him that much, pointing out Britney, 42, was just living her life in freedom.

Some even went so far as to call him a ‘hypocrite’ for slamming someone’s harmless behaviour, given his notorious rock and roll past.

‘Very hypocritical of him to talk about her in any way,’ said Kiddoinred on X as Katie Rodgers cuttingly replied: ‘He talks too much for a one hit wonder.’

A clip from The Osbournes was shared by user luckybutnoluck, in which Ozzy dreams he finds a young Britney on his bed and goes off in search of ‘viagra’.

‘Oh but it was okay to act s3xy when she was half your age wasn’t it, you creep [sic.],’ they brutally captioned the tweet.

‘They could also just not watch. Problem solved,’ vented user youwannakomova — a sentiment which was shared by plenty of other fans.

‘Let her f**king dance!’ said Courtney Enlow while Brad Cunningham added: ‘Hey @OzzyOsbourne it’s a simple way to fix that, DONT WATCH, she’s doing what she wants to do, she’s not here to post what you want.’

In the clip, his family didn’t discuss the conservatorship from which Britney was freed in the past two years but instead called it all ‘sad’.

‘I feel sorry for her,’ Kelly, 39, said to which her dad replied: ‘You know it’s sad, very, very sad.’

Sharon called the whole thing ‘heartbreaking’, although it was unclear if they were referencing Britney’s mental health struggles or her dancing videos at this point.

The conversation came out hours after Britney had shared a video in which she danced to Madonna’s I’m Addicted in a tiny sparkling red and gold bikini.

Captioning the video in her usual rambling style, the Baby One More Time singer wrote: ‘tI’s time for a throwback this week!!! And oh boy I know how to tell ‘em don’t I 🙈🙈🙈🙈😂🥲🥲🥲 ??? It’s perspective I guess !!!

‘This was me almost a year ago in September!!! I look way younger and way smaller!!! I guess I need to brace myself and slow down and recap the past year because I think I had a false confidence after my divorce!!!

‘Although I did post some of my best work with “Ray of Light” and “I’m Addicted” by Madonna!!! There was a lot of WTF 😬 moments!!! Trust me I know we’re all human and make mistakes!!!

‘I literally need to go back and adjust and possibly do a couple more therapy sessions!!! I apologize for not being perfect and I will try and get confidence and consistency back like I used to have 😘😘😘!!!’

Her follow-up posts included her sharing that she had gone on a drive through the desert and outfit videos, showing off bright yellow and glittering gold dresses.
