Instagram Response by Jack Fiery.
Jack Osbourne immediately got incensed, posting a blistering response to Instagram Stories on September 2, 2025:
- “Hey Roger Waters—fuck you. What a pathetic and out of touch you are.
- He went on: The only thing you appear to have done lately to draw notice is to spew nonsense in the newspapers. My father always believed that you were a c-nt–thanks to you, he is right.
