Kelly Osbourne has addressed claims that she is dating OnlyFans model Brad North, insisting the pair were "NEVER dating" following her split from fiancé Sid Wilson.
The television personality, 41, ended her engagement to former Slipknot member Sid Wilson, 49, in March this year. The former couple share a three-year-old son, Sidney. Sid was a member of Slipknot, the Grammy-winning American heavy metal band known for performing in masks and matching boilersuits.
Despite the split, and amid what has been described as a growing divide between Kelly and her mother, television personality Sharon Osbourne, Kelly was thought to have grown close to heavily tattooed Brad North, 28, after meeting him online, with the pair reportedly enjoying a string of dates.
On Saturday, Kelly and Brad were seen together in Manchester at a hotel launch, with Brad, who is said to charge fans £10 a month for content on OnlyFans, spotted in the background as Kelly posed for photographs.
The following day, Kelly took to her Instagram Story to address the claims and declare that she would "trust red flags" moving forward. "Why are people so disgusting?" she began.
"First, I want to thank all the girlie girls who had my back and cared enough to bring the truth to my attention," she wrote. "I genuinely had no idea, and yes, I feel more than a little foolish because Google is free, and apparently I should've done my homework."
"This has been a valuable and humbling lesson in discernment," she continued. "But beyond looking at him, I also have to look inward and ask myself why I keep leaving the door unlocked for vampires disguised as charm."
"Some people don't enter your life to love or befriend you they enter looking for vein," Kelly wrote. "They come in thirsty, take what they can, and leave you wondering how you ended up drained."
"So, lesson learned… Do the research, trust the red flags, and stop confusing intensity with sincerity," she added. "The next chapter requires better boundaries and perhaps a little garlic. I also want to make it abundantly clear we were NEVER dating."
Who is Brad North?
Brad, who works as a model and tattoo artist alongside his OnlyFans career, goes by the name Uglynorth on the subscription platform, charging followers £10 to view his content. He reportedly tells followers on his page: "If you like a man who's loyal, eager, and easy to please… I'm right here. Just say hi, or slip something into my tip jar." More explicit content is available at a higher price, according to The Sun, with Brad also said to make money selling his used underwear to fans.

Representative denies romance
The comments came after a representative for Kelly told Metro that Kelly and Brad were not dating. "They share a close friendship and their relationship is entirely platonic," the representative said. The Daily Mail has contacted her representatives for further comment.
Kelly's life since the split
It comes as Kelly is said to be in a "happier place" following her split from Sid, according to her brother, Jack Osbourne. In a new interview with The Sun, Jack, 40, said Kelly had been focusing on her son and living in the countryside.
"Kelly's living her country life. You know, she's living out by the house and she's just doing her thing, being a mum," he said. "She's in a happier place and she's got a good routine going. She's focusing on her and her son."
Criticism of ex-fiancé Sid
In August, Kelly appeared to hit out at Sid after he was kicked out of Slipknot. In an impassioned Instagram post at the time, she wrote: "I can't protect you from yourself anymore. Wake the f**k up and take some responsibility. I will not take your s**t anymore. I'm done."
"I want to be happy and I have a beautiful son to raise. Leave me alone. Let me heal," she continued. Kelly went on to write: "Strange how the loudest defence of the guilty is rarely innocence... It's distraction. When the mask slips, they don't face the mirror they throw it at someone else. I heard that when you break a mirror you get seven years bad luck. Or is that karma?"
In another Story at the time, Kelly wrote: "Also while I'm at it can I have my dogs back and all my possessions? Oh yeah and maybe some child support?" She added: "This is why I always take accountability. As they say some are sicker than others." The Daily Mail contacted Sid's representatives for comment at the time.
