Kelly Osbourne said to have been annoyed over comment about boyfriend Luke Worrall

Kelly Osbourne arrested for alleged assault on British gossip columnist

Sharon's girl released on bail

Monday, 19 January 2009

Kelly Osbourne has been arrested for allegedly slapping a journalist in a London nightclub last summer.

The 24-year-old daughter of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne was released on bail as inquiries continue. She is scheduled to return to see authorities in March.

The allegations stem from a claim that Osbourne hit gossip columnist Zoe Griffin after Griffin wrote an article mocking Osbourne's model boyfriend Luke Worrall. In a piece last August in the U.K. newspaper The Mirror, Griffin wrote that she was approached in Punk nightclub by Osbourne, who took issue with a story Griffin had written saying Worrall had to ask how an earthquake was caused.

Griffin quoted her saying, "I have an issue with you. My boyfriend knows what an earthquake is and everyone has been laughing at him and he's upset."

As the conversation drew to a close, Griffin wrote, "That's when I felt a hard slap to my right cheekbone."

As is customary, Scotland Yard would not name any of the alleged protagonists. But a statement read by a spokeswoman said, "I can confirm that a 24-year-old woman attended a central London police station by appointment at 3pm on January 2."

"She was arrested for common assault relating to an alleged incident in Soho in the early hours of 29th August 2008," the statement continues. "She was bailed to attend a central London police station on a date in March."

A rep for Osbourne had no comment.
