Kelly Osbourne used Instagram story posts on August 3 to push a public split into open view, asking for her dogs, possessions and “maybe some child support.” The posts appeared to point at Sid Wilson, days after a July 31 report said he had been fired from Slipknot.
Sidney and August 3
The sharpest line in her posts was direct: “Wake the fuck up take some responsibility I will not take your shit anymore! I’m done. 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 wrote, “Also while I’m at it can I have my dogs back and all my possessions. Oh yeah and maybe some child support?”
Osbourne and Wilson share a son named Sidney, who was born in 2022. That detail turns her posts from generic breakup language into a more practical demand over day-to-day responsibilities, property and money, all in the same public feed where she was already challenging the other side’s conduct.
TMZ and Slipknot
On July 31, TMZ reported that Wilson had been fired from Slipknot. In a follow-up report on August 3, TMZ said the firing stemmed from his behavior toward his bandmates and had reportedly been under consideration for some time. The report adds a professional layer to the personal dispute, because Osbourne’s posts landed after his band status had already become public talk.
Neither Sid Wilson nor Slipknot publicly confirmed the firing in the source material, so the public record here sits on a report and a separate social-media response. That gap leaves the same event moving through two channels at once: a labor claim about the band and a personal claim about what Osbourne says she still needs back.
Back To The Beginning
Wilson proposed to Osbourne at last year’s Back To The Beginning festival, and in March it was reported that they had called off their engagement. Against that timeline, the August 3 posts read less like a one-off rant than the latest stage in a breakup already playing out in public.
Osbourne’s best-inference position is straightforward: she is not waiting for anyone else to define the split for her. She has already told her side of it, in the same posts that asked for Sidney’s practical needs, her dogs, her possessions and possible child support, which means the next move belongs to the people around those claims rather than to the gossip cycle.
