No stranger to controversy, Pop force Lady GaGa found herself embroiled in just that this week – courtesy of Kelly Osbourne. Random, we know.

The Fashion Police panelist took aim at the singer after allegedly being at the receiving end of nasty comments from the star’s fans online. This, presumably, following comments Osbourne made about GaGa on the hit E! show.

In a new interview with Fabulous magazine, Osbourne lamented:

“Lady Gaga’s fans are the worst. They’ve said I should kill myself, that they hope I get raped. I mean it’s crazy but I’ve had this all my life and I just try and ignore it.

I actually think she’s a good singer but she has the worst fans in the world and you have a responsibility to stop that. I think you do anyway.”

With Kelly’s quotes on the “Monsters” beginning to do the rounds, the ‘Bad Romance’ singer posted an open letter in response to the claims.
