Let’s talk about Marie Osmond, the beloved mom of eight and an icon in her own right. Known for her grace and resilience, Marie recently made headlines for something a little different—blocking someone on Instagram. And trust me, this wasn’t just any random decision. It came after a deeply hurtful comment about her late son, Michael, who tragically passed away in 2009. Marie, at 60 years old, is no stranger to taking the high road, but this time, she had enough.
A Candid Moment on The Talk
During the Friday, March 13 episode of The Talk, Marie opened up about her decision to block an Instagram user for the first time ever. “This weekend I deleted someone. I blocked them for the first time,” she revealed candidly. Now, let’s be real here—Marie isn’t one to shy away from engaging with her fans, but this person crossed a line. “I don’t block people… [but] this was just a really mean person,” she explained, her voice tinged with frustration and disbelief. When you’ve been through what Marie has, it takes a lot to rattle you, but this comment did just that.
The comment that pushed her over the edge came after Marie announced during a February 28 episode of the CBS talk show that she plans to give all her money to charity instead of leaving it to her family. Now, before you jump to conclusions, let me clarify—her kids are already taken care of financially, and they’re completely okay with her decision. But some people, well, they just can’t seem to mind their own business, right?

Dealing with the Haters
Marie has faced her fair share of critics over the years. “It was interesting, because they will say things like, ‘You’re fake, you’re phony, you’re plastic,’” she recounted, shaking her head. But Marie, ever the quick-witted entertainer, had a clever comeback: “Hey, I’m porcelain, OK?” Her charm and humor shine through even in the face of negativity. However, this particular commenter took things way too far.
“Why I blocked this person is, I talked about how I’m going to give my money to help other children. My children are taken care of,” she continued. “My children know about it. They are fine with it.” The comment that sealed the deal? A user accused Marie of being a horrible person and even blamed her for Michael’s death. Can you imagine? How does someone even go there? It’s heartbreaking to think about, and it’s no wonder Marie felt compelled to hit that block button.
Processing Pain Through Love
Marie, a loving mother to Stephen, Jessica, Rachael, Brandon, Brianna, Matthew, and Abigail, knows all too well the pain of losing a child. Michael’s passing in April 2009 after battling depression left an indelible mark on her heart. “How does a person even go there?” she wondered aloud, visibly shaken. “That is like the most mean, awful… it’s going to upset me again.” But Marie, being the resilient soul she is, found her own way to cope. “I ate a pint of Haagen Dazs and I blocked her,” she quipped with a smile, showing us all how to handle internet trolls with grace and a scoop of ice cream.
Marie has been incredibly open about her journey through grief. In a previous interview with Closer Weekly, the award-winning performer shared how she’s learned to navigate life’s toughest challenges. “You keep living. I thought I knew what sorrow was, but you don’t ever know until you’ve been through it,” she said in January 2019. “There’s no joy in sorrow like it says in the Scriptures, but I’ve come to the conclusion that the joy they’re talking about is looking at somebody else who’s been through what I’ve been through and saying, ‘I understand.’” Her ability to connect with others through empathy and understanding is truly inspiring.
We love you, Marie! Your strength and grace remind us all how to handle adversity with dignity and love.
