there’s no love lost between slipknot and sid wilson, and the same can now be said for the dj and his ex, kelly osbourne.
in fact, osbourne, 41, appears to have thrown any love she once had for her former fiancee out the window with a very harsh, very public message to wilson, 49, on her instagram stories.
“wake the f*** up and take some responsibility i will not take your s*** anymore! i’m done,” she wrote in the since-vanished instagram post.
“i want to be happy and i have a beautiful son to raise,” the osbournes alum continued, speaking of their three-year-old son, sidney.
“leave me alone. let me heal. i can’t protect you from yourself anymore,” she added.
in another post, she noted, “also while i’m at it can i have my dogs back and all my possessions. oh yeah and maybe some child support?”

not taking accountability
osbourne and wilson began dating in 2022, welcomed their son in november of that year, and got engaged in july 2025 — during her dad ozzy osbourne’s final black sabbath show.
they quietly called off their engagement in march.
osbourne also shared cryptic messages about a masked someone being “guilty.”
she wrote: “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 continued: “i also heard that when you break a mirror you get 7 years bad luck! or is that just karma? this is why i always take accountability. as they say some are sicker than others.”
the former fashion police host has since shared empowering messages about mothers protecting their kids and choosing children “over anyone” and “over anything” every time.
“my son’s little heart once beat right inside mine. so trust me when i say… i will protect it all costs,” read another quote.

why slipknot and wilson parted ways
osbourne’s scathing messages come days after slipknot booted wilson from the band after nearly three decades.
tmz reported on friday that the dj and keyboardist was permanently let go, while a new report claimed his bandmates had been ready to show him the door for a while now.
wilson’s behaviour, “namely, the way he treated his bandmates,” is the reason for his ouster, the outlet reported.
sources with knowledge of the situation said slipknot planned to announce wilson’s departure this week — until tmz beat them to the punch.
slipknot guitarist jim root, however, appeared to insist everything was hunky-dory behind the masks.
“don’t believe everything you read,” the guitarist wrote on his instagram stories on sunday. “stop. think. take a breath. sit with it for awhile. maybe. just maybe even wait until there’s more information.”
neither the band nor wilson has spoken publicly about wilson’s departure.
