Kelly Osbourne is publicly pressing ex-fiancé Sid Wilson to step up as a dad in the wake of his ouster from Slipknot. In now-deleted Instagram posts, Osbourne told the DJ and keyboardist to "wake up" and "take some responsibility," saying she wants to focus on raising their 3-year-old son, Sidney, Page Six reports. "I want to be happy and I have a beautiful son to raise," she wrote in one post. "Leave me alone. Let me heal. I can't protect you from yourself anymore." In another post, she wrote, "Also while I'm at it can I have my dogs back and all my possessions. Oh yeah and maybe some child support?"

The former reality star, 41, also shared cryptic posts about accountability and "the guilty," plus a quote emphasizing a mother's duty to protect her child "over anyone. Over anything." Wilson, 49, was reportedly informed last week he'd been permanently dropped from Slipknot after more than 25 years. Sources told TMZ that the heavy metal group had finally had enough of how Wilson treated his bandmates.

Wilson proposed to Osbourne backstage at her father's final concert with Black Sabbath last year. When rumors began in March that they had called off the engagement, sources told People that she had been deeply affected by Ozzy Osbourne's death and was going through a rough time. "She's been in a challenging headspace for several reasons. It's been very emotional for her. She's had a lot going on," one insider said. "She's very focused on being there for her mom right now. They're incredibly close, and that's been her priority."
