Kelly Osbourne, 41, publicly criticized her reported ex-fiancé Sid Wilson, 49, in a series of Instagram Stories on Monday, demanding child support and the return of her dogs and possessions. The posts followed reports of their March split and Wilson’s recent ouster from Slipknot, the band he joined in 1998.
Osbourne’s messages, which she later deleted, accused Wilson of avoiding accountability while vowing to prioritize their 3-year-old son, Sidney. In one post, she wrote: 'Wake the f--- up and take some responsibility. I will not take your s--- anymore! I'm done.' She added: 'I want to be happy, and I have a beautiful son to raise. Leave me alone. Let me heal.' Osbourne also reposted a quote stating: 'My son's little heart once beat right beside mine. So trust me when I say... I will protect it at all costs.'
In another Story, Osbourne directly addressed Wilson, writing: 'I can't protect you from yourself anymore.' She questioned the timing of his Slipknot exit, suggesting it may be connected to their relationship. 'Strange how the loudest defense of the guilty is rarely innocence... It's distraction,' she wrote. Osbourne also humorously added: 'Also while I'm at it can I have my dogs back and all my possessions? Oh yeah and maybe some child support?'

His departure marks a significant change for the group, which has maintained a consistent lineup for decades.
