BBC Text:
[Syco the production company owned by Simon Cowell, is facing legal action after six former contestants on the X Factor claimed to have been bullied during their time on the show. One act described the experience as "horrific" and claims to have been "suffering for years". There is no allegation that Mr Cowell was aware of or involved in the alleged behaviour.] Last edited by arista; 28-08-2022 at 03:31 AM. |

I loved a lot of the performances on the Show, but it's biggest flaw that it always had was how nasty the Show could be, and that was on camera.
I actually dread to think what might've happened behind the scenes.

Alot of nasty things happened backstage. Even in front of the camera's we could see how the judges would build someone's confidence up ,then instantly rip that same person to shreds to make them feel small & useless. All for drama & ratings. They treated the contestants like they didn't have feelings. I stopped watching it a long time ago ,as I could see how bad things got . It deserved to get axed. |

There was that woman who must have had some kind of mental illness they used to bring to all the auditions for a few years...shocking really
They do the same with that married couple on BGT, she can sing but he can’t, they make them into a figure of fun

But both contracts for XF & BGT that the contestants have to sign are very bizarre & controlling. The clause has like a million conditions & rules. XF contestants have come out and said they've been worse off , since being on the show as they're forced into a corner with no rights . Simon Cowell doesn't care unless they can be his cash cow & earn him millions, then when they're not doing as well as he'd liked .. he basically drops them like a hot potato. |

I get that they're making a TV show and it needs to be "entertaining", but there should be safeguarding for the contestants. Like, if deluded adults want to make a fool of themselves, then whatever. But some of the people who make the screens clearly have impaired capacity, so putting them on the show is just cruel. And that's not even considering the complaints made in the article. |

Chico was on GBnewsHD at 8:34AM. Simon Cowell says it has nothing to do with him. Chico said no Social Media back then so nothing like the more caring today. |
