New Report Claims Slipknot Fired Sid Wilson Due To “The Way He Treated His Bandmates”

As previously reported, TMZ recently claimed that Slipknot had fired turntablist Sid Wilson. Now, the tabloid site has shared further details, claiming his behavior was a contributing factor.

The following was said in the latest TMZ report:

“Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … the decision came after the group finally had enough of Sid’s behavior … namely, the way he treated his bandmates.

We’re told the firing was a long time coming — not some abrupt decision made in the heat of the moment.

In fact, our sources say Slipknot was planning to announce Sid’s departure this week … but the band lost control of the rollout when we first reported Friday the group’s longtime DJ and keyboardist had been permanently kicked out.

We’re told the early reveal caused the band to freak out behind the scenes … with members frustrated they could no longer announce the split on their own terms.”

The band have yet to comment on the situation, but guitarist Jim Root did tell fans they shouldn’t believe everything they read. For his part, Wilson declined to comment when approached by paparazzi.
