Ever since Ozzy Osbourne<\/a> passed away nearly two weeks ago<\/a>, countless rockers<\/a> and fans<\/a> have paid tribute to him. However, Green Jell\u00ff<\/a>\u2019s Michael “Fr33to F33t” Snyder went a different route by posting a meme that seemingly mocking Osbourne\u2019s battle with substance abuse, prompting him to be fired from the band and other controversies to ensue.<\/p>\n

What Happened With Green Jell\u00ff + Ozzy Meme<\/p>\n

Yesterday (Aug. 2), Lambgoat<\/a> reported that Green Jell\u00ff frontman Bill Manspeaker fired Snyder after Snyder posted the distasteful meme to the band\u2019s official social media account(s). As described by Lambgoat, the image \u201cfeatured a photoshopped image<\/a> of Osbourne holding a sign that reads \u2018One Day Sober,\u2019\u201d and Manspeaker also claimed that he \u201cdeleted the post once he became aware of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0ThePRP<\/a>, the meme\u00a0was shared \u201cshortly after Osbourne\u2019s July 22nd death,\u201d and\u00a0Metal Addicts<\/a> report that it was \u201crelease[ed] on July 22nd \u2013 the same day as Ozzy\u2019s passing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last Friday (Aug. 1), YouTube channel Staunch TV uploaded a video entitled \u201cWhat is happening with GREEN JELLY?\u201d \u2013 which you can watch below \u2013 that goes into detail about the situation (among other things).<\/p>\n

In response to the video, the band\u2019s official Facebook page (which goes by Green Jello, and which Lambgoat specifies is run by Manspeaker) posted the following statement:<\/p>\n

\u201cUNFORTUNATELY THIS VIDEO HAS BEEN POSTED TO YOUTUBE\u201d Long story short\u2026I allowed a green jello member control of my green jello page\u2026He\u2019s been doing a excellent job posting funny memes for years\u2026Recently Recently he posted a extremely rude video about Ozzy Dying that I found highly offensive & I immediately took it down\u2026the guy lost his mind & instantly started to demonize me on Facebook\u2026Now it\u2019s gotten beyond the point of non stop harassment\u2026<\/p>\n

All I have to say is this\u2026for decades I have been traveling the world meeting fans & making them part of my life\u2026this person has been participating in my band for over 10 years\u2026Being my best buddy asking me to sign these 20 cds so he can sell them on line\u2026He\u2019s maybe played 10 shows in 10 years and doesn\u2019t even plug in his bass when on stage\u2026he just wants the selfie of him on stage\u2026everything was fine until the moment I take down his distasteful meme about Ozzys death\u2026<\/p>\n

Now it\u2019s has turned into let\u2019s try to cancel out Bill Manspeaker & all the nice things he\u2019s ever done for people\u2026This person decided to defame Ozzy with a terrible joke about his death on my green jello social media page & I removed it\u2026Now all this hate is the result\u2026ask yourself 1 thing who is the real issue\u2026the guy who has no respect for a man\u2019s death and mocked Ozzy or the guy who immediately took it down because it was disrespectful\u2026if I ever helped you out or spent a moment with you please post a nice comment about our times on the YouTube video\u2026Right now it\u2019s a complete shit show\u2026<\/p>\n

I am home from tour enjoying time off with my family & now I gotta deal with this campaign of lies\u2026Nobody should be treated this way because they took down a disgusting post about Ozzy\u2026his name is Micheal Snyder he goes by Fr33to F33t you can find him on facebook & he\u2019s one of the extremely few that\u2019s been officially fired from green jello\u2026<\/p>\n

Interestingly, said post was taken down as this story was being written.<\/p>\n

Lambgoat also write that following this incident, \u201cManspeaker then stirred the pot further by posting a seemingly AI-generated tribute featuring Osbourne and Hulk Hogan<\/a> [who passed away on July 24, 2025<\/a>], which drew additional backlash.\u201d<\/p>\n

The publication adds:<\/p>\n

Leaked internal text messages show Manspeaker expressing concern about the original post but also encouraging Snyder to stay at one point. Things reportedly escalated into alleged threats of violence, with Snyder later mocking Manspeaker in a video.<\/p>\n

Again, the Staunch TV video mentioned above goes into more detail about all of this, and as far as we can tell, the \u201cAI-generated tribute\u201d featuring Ozzy and Hulk Hogan has understandably been removed as well. However, you can see it<\/a> about halfway into Staunch TV\u2019s video.<\/p>\n
