Kelly Osbourne Confronts Ex Sid Wilson Over Slipknot Axe Incident

Kelly Osbourne Confronts Ex Sid Wilson Over Slipknot Axe Incident

Kelly Osbourne posted a series of Instagram messages addressing her separation from Sid Wilson, the Slipknot DJ and keyboardist. The posts appeared shortly after reports surfaced that Wilson had been removed from the band.

In the messages, Osbourne called for Wilson to “take some responsibility” and demanded the return of her dogs, personal belongings, and child support. She expressed frustration and a desire to move forward.

She wrote, “Wake the f* up, take some responsibility,” and added that she wants to be happy while raising her son. Osbourne asked for space to heal, stating she can no longer protect him from Wilson’s actions.

Further posts requested the return of her possessions and child support, emphasizing that her son remains her top priority. She reiterated her commitment to protect him at all costs.

Osbourne reposted a quote criticizing those who loudly defend the guilty, suggesting such defenses distract from accountability. She captioned the repost with a personal affirmation about taking responsibility.

These messages coincided with circulating reports that Wilson, 49, was permanently removed from Slipknot after nearly three decades with the group. Neither Wilson nor the band has issued an official comment.

A Slipknot guitarist shared a cryptic Instagram story urging fans not to jump to conclusions and to await further information, without directly referencing Wilson’s status. The message was accompanied by a band song.

Wilson was a founding member of Slipknot, serving as DJ and keyboardist for almost 30 years. The band has previously experienced several high‑profile lineup changes.

Osbourne and Wilson first met in 1999 during an Ozzfest tour, began dating in 2022, and welcomed son Sidney later that year. They announced an engagement in 2025 before quietly ending the relationship.

In a recent interview, Osbourne said she is focusing on single life and motherhood, expressing gratitude for her son and openness to expanding her family. She described dating as no longer a priority.
