Cowell Lambasted by X Factor Contestant's Relative
8/18/06
Music mogul Simon Cowell was left red-faced during auditions for
British talent show X Factor, when an 86-year-old woman branded him
"ignorant" and "ugly".
Great grandmother Edna Moore accompanied her daughter-in-law to
auditions in Manchester, England, this week (begs14AUG06) and was
horrified when the acid-tongued judge sniggered at Lorraine's efforts.
He told the wannabe pop star she was "lifeless" and
"lacking in personality", but Edna hit back, saying,
"You're ignorant. (You're not) good-looking and you haven't even got
your own teeth.
"You think you're better than anybody. I think you were very
ignorant. Yes - you were ignorant, Simon."
Cowell hurriedly apologized to Edna and rushed backstage, British
newspaper the Daily Mirror reports.
