Kelly Osbourne has seemingly addressed the reported ousting of her ex-fiancé, Sid Wilson, from the band Slipknot. Osbourne, 41, who shares a three-year-old son, Sidney, with the keyboardist, posted a series of messages on Instagram after news emerged of Wilson's alleged permanent departure from the band on Friday.
While the specific reasons for Wilson's exit remain unclear, Osbourne's posts suggest a strong reaction. "I can't protect you from yourself anymore," she wrote. "Wake the fk up and take some responsibility. I will not take your st anymore. I'm done. I want to be happy and I have a beautiful son to raise. Leave me alone. Let me heal."
Osbourne also shared cryptic thoughts on accountability and distraction. "Strange how the loudest defence of the guilty is rarely innocence... It's distraction. When the mask slips, they don't face the mirror they throw it at someone else," she stated. "I heard that when you break a mirror you get seven years bad luck. Or is that karma? This is why I always take accountability. As they say some are sicker than others."
In a separate post, Osbourne added a more pointed request: "Also while I'm at it can I have my dogs back and all my possessions Oh yeah and maybe some child support?"
Wilson, 49, joined Slipknot in 1998, becoming the ninth member of the now-iconic nine-piece lineup. His reported dismissal comes after a challenging period for him personally, including his separation from Osbourne in March. The couple quietly ended their engagement just seven months after Wilson proposed in 2025 at her late father Ozzy Osbourne's final concert with Black Sabbath.
Sources close to Osbourne indicated that she has been coping with the separation while prioritizing her role as a mother. The loss of her father, rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, has also contributed to a difficult period for her. "In truth, she and Sid have been facing challenges in their relationship for some time, and things were not as they appeared," a source told the Daily Mail. "They tried to make it work, particularly for the sake of their child, but ultimately decided that separating is the best path forward."
Osbourne and Wilson first met when Slipknot toured with Ozzfest, a festival founded by her parents. They confirmed their relationship on Valentine's Day 2022, with Osbourne describing Wilson as her "best friend" and "soulmate." They welcomed their son, also named Sid, later that year and had been living in Iowa.
If Wilson's departure is confirmed, only vocalist Corey Taylor, percussionist Shawn 'Clown' Crahan, and guitarists Mick Thomson and Jim Root would remain from Slipknot's celebrated classic lineup. The band has experienced numerous lineup changes over the years, including the deaths of bassist Paul Gray in 2010 and drummer Joey Jordison in 2021, and the departures of percussionist Chris Fehn in 2019 and keyboardist Craig Jones in 2023.
