King of darkness Ozzy Osbourne has shown his light side once again. The metal legend offered up a mea culpa to Britney Spears on the latest episode of The Osbournes podcast after daughter Kelly Osbourne asked her dad if their family owed Spears an apology.

After first replaying Ozzy’s offensive comments, Ozzy offered up a less appeasing peace offer than offspring Jack and Kelly. “Britney, I really owe you an apology,” Ozzy said. “I’m so sorry for making that comment. However, it would be better if you didn’t do the same f–king dance every day! Change a few movements… I love Britney Spears, but it’s the same dance every day!”
That comment drew a loud guffaw from Jack, while Kelly noted that she is a fan of Britney’s dancing — “Britney, never stop dancing, I love your dancing it makes you happy” — while apologizing on behalf of the family if she felt offense, with wife Sharon adding “I like Britney a lot.” The family also objected to Ozzy’s claim that it was, literally, the same dance every day, with Kelly and Jack noting that sometimes “there’s knives.”
Ozzy then leaned into a less strings-attached amends, adding, “I really do apologize. I love you and I think you’re beautiful.”
The spat originally began two weeks ago when Ozzy criticized Spears’ dancing videos, saying on his family’s podcast that he was, “fed up of seeing poor old Britney Spears [dancing] on YouTube every f–kin’ day. It’s sad, very, very sad,” with Sharon adding, “poor little thing.” At the time, Spears shot back with a terse Instagram post that has since been deleted, in which she said, “I’m gonna… tell the Osbourne family who is the most boring family known to mankind to kindly f–k off!”
Spears has long made a habit of posting dance videos from her home in which she does interpretive moves to her favorite songs.
