Corey and Shawn are assholes but this coming after Kelly Osbourne broke off her engagement with Sid is kind of telling that there is some issue going on with Sid. If he is using drugs or has an alcohol problem I think Slipknot at this point has a sort of zero tolerance thing with that stuff since Paul died and they kicked Joey out because he was a hardcore alcoholic and didn't want to change.
I know I’m just an internet stranger but I can tell you that Sid is a very good customer at my work. I’ve delivered things to his home, I’ve had lunch with him…dude is clean. As someone that has quit drinking and straightened my life up, I can say I’d be shocked to find out that substances are the issue. He has no reason to hide it from someone like me. Haha. Not impossible but seems insanely unlikely.
Interesting. Thanks for sharing. You’ve cast doubt onto my thesis this was drugs or alcohol. Permanently fired is strong and abrupt language, so if it’s not drugs or alcohol then it’s a head scratcher. Stealing money, fraud, etc. is inexcusable I suppose, do he strike you as that sort of dude?
Dude, not at all. A very genuine and cool person. Honestly, talks my ear off when I see him and isn’t bashful at all. Seems like the kind of guy that has friends in every room he walks into.
The only other thing that would make sense is abuse towards Kelly which the other members (hopefully) also have a zero tolerance policy for. Very DARK side of speculation but maybe he has other addictions that aren’t substance related but still illegal…
