Simon Cowell's spoken out about this.
Quote:
Simon Cowell has spoken out about his decision to axe Natalia Kills and her husband Willy Moon from New Zealand’s version of The X Factor after they were seen launching a tirade of ‘hateful’ abuse against a contestant.
The 55-year-old music mogul has confessed he was left with no choice but to sack the judges after they refused to ‘genuinely’ apologise for the comments they made to a contestant named Joe Irvine.
‘It was hateful. She sounded mad. It didn’t even make sense,’ Simon told the Daily Mail’s Weekend magazine.
Natalia had accused Joe of copying her husband’s style before claiming his performance had been ‘cheesy’, ‘disgusting’ and ‘absolutely artistically atrocious’ with Willy adding that he felt as though the contestant was going to ‘stitch someone’s skin’ to his face and then ‘kill everybody in the audience’.
Simon added: ‘Where they cocked up was that they didn’t apologise straight away. If they’d both been genuinely sorry and called me, and apologised to the guy and his family, who knows what could have happened. They didn’t. They were quite defensive.’
