Kelly Osbourne is at it again. The outspoken fashionista and TV host took to Instragram to poke fun at Rachel Dolezal, the woman from Spokane, Wash., who has been a trending topic since she came out as "trans-racial" last week.

Osbourne, the 30-year-old former "Fashion Police" co-host, posted a selfie on Instagram, taking a page out of Dolezal's style book by wearing a black blazer and a black curly wig. The post, captioned "#CallMeRachel #MyCasualLook," currently has more than 26 million likes.
Dolezal, an adjunct professor of Africana Studies at Eastern Washington University, resigned from her position as chapter president of the Spokane NAACP after being outed by her parents as a white woman passing for a black woman. In an interview with Today's Matt Lauer, Dolezal she said she identifies as black.
But Osbourne is under fire in her own comment section, with many fans expressing outrage at the post, with one commenter saying, "Didn't you call someone else out for making fun of their hair!!!!" The commenter was referring to Osbourne's reaction to a comment that her former "Fashion Police" co-host made at the Grammys about Disney star Zendaya's dreadlocked hair smelling of "weed" or "patchouli oil."
After the comment was made, Osbourne tweeted, "I DID NOT MAKE THE WEED COMENT. I DO NOT CONDONE RACISM SO AS A RSULT OF THIS IM SEREIOULSY QUESTIONONIG STAYING ON THE SHOW!" She left the show shortly afterwards, Entertainment Weekly reports.
But the intention behind Osbourne's mean-spirited Instagram seems like light-hearded fun. Osbourne spoke out against Dolezal's racial fraud when the story first emerged last week.
