Late Black Sabbath legend Ozzy Osbourne’s daughter Kelly Osbourne has made serious new accusations against Sid Wilson. She shared a series of pointed messages on Instagram following reports that Wilson was fired from Slipknot. Osbourne called off her engagement to Wilson and shares a son named Sidney with him. She directed her remarks at her former partner in the wake of the news.

In her posts, Osbourne addressed themes of accountability, personal healing, and unresolved matters including custody of her dogs and financial support for their child.

“Strange how the loudest defense of the guilty is rarely innocence… When the mask slips, they don’t face the mirror — they throw it at someone else,” she said. “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.”

Osbourne then shifted to a more direct and emotional appeal, making clear she is no longer willing to shield Wilson from the consequences of his actions.

“Wake the f*ck up, take some responsibility — I will not take your shit anymore! I’m done,” she continued. “I want to be happy and I have a beautiful son to raise. Leave me alone. Let me heal. I can’t protect you from yourself anymore.”

She also used the platform to raise practical demands, calling for the return of her belongings and financial accountability.

“Also while I’m at it, can I have my dogs back and all my possessions,” she added. “Oh yeah, and maybe some child support?”

Slipknot permanently removed Sid Wilson from the band on July 31, 2026. Neither Wilson nor Slipknot issued a public statement at the time, leaving the reasons for his dismissal officially unexplained.

The firing marks the end of a nearly three-decade run for Wilson with the Iowa-based nu-metal outfit. He joined Slipknot in 1998 as the band’s ninth member, serving as its turntablist and keyboardist. He was part of the group’s self-titled debut album released in 1999 — the record that launched them to global recognition.

The professional collapse comes just months after a painful personal one. Osbourne and Wilson began dating in 2022 after more than two decades of friendship. Wilson proposed to her in July 2025, shortly before the death of her father, Ozzy Osbourne. The couple called off their engagement in March 2026, roughly four months before the Slipknot news broke.

Their son Sidney was born during the course of the relationship. The split is not only a personal matter but one with lasting legal and financial dimensions — as Osbourne’s public posts now make clear. Her demands for child support and the return of her possessions signal that the separation has moved well beyond the emotional and into the practical.

Wilson’s removal from Slipknot is described as permanent, with no possibility of a return. The band has not publicly addressed the decision, and Wilson has remained silent. For a founding member who helped define the group’s sound and image across more than 25 years, the exit — coming alongside a broken engagement and public accusations — marks a dramatic unraveling on multiple fronts simultaneously.
