One Direction, Little Mix, and Fifth Harmony fans are speaking out and demanding justice
for the bands, after tweets about Simon Cowell from former X Factor contestants went viral.
Let’s get into it.
Fans know that Little Mix, One Direction, and Fifth Harmony all formed on X Factor around
a decade ago.
But they were just three of many popular groups to form on Simon Cowell’s show.
Another group called Jedward, which consists of the twins John and Edward Grimes, just
took to Twitter to call out Simon Cowell and his music company Syco Entertainment.
And it’s no secret that the ladies of Little Mix had their own issues with Simon Cowell
and Syco.
Back in 2018, they decided to leave their label Syco and set themselves free of the
control Simon Cowell had over their group.
In an interview with Glamour last month, Perrie Edwards looked back on this decision saying
quote, “We’re a brand, but I think the difference is that we know we’re a brand
and we take advantage of that for our own benefit. We use it for us, not for other people.”
Leigh-Anne Pinnock agreed saying that “Leaving our label was a massive step for us.”
Alleged audio clips of Lauren Jauregui talking to Ally Brooke about this situation with Syco
have also circulated around online.
“They’re making decisions on a regular basis to f*ck us over. To make us literal
slaves. Like literally slaves Ally. We’re doing… I know I know. F*cking labor every
day and we see nothing.”
And now, Jedward is also speaking out about Simon and Syco in a series of strongly worded
tweets with some serious allegations against Simon.
The started off saying “The Biggest regret in life was not telling the judges on Xfactor
to f**k off” Jedward continued on and made some major claims
such as, “Every contestant on the X Factor was a slave to the show and got paid Zero
while they made millions!” And “Simon Cowell thinks he’s the Mafia
leader of the music industry when in reality he’s nothing but a bad facelift”
Jedward even mentioned 1D and Little Mix in one of their tweets saying quote, “There’s
a reason Syco is called Psycho! 1D and Little Mix are legally f*cked in contracts and can
never speak out so we are!”
They also added that “There’s nothing MODEST about their previous management dictating
their every move from relationships to how they live their own lives! Justice for 1D
& Little Mix.” Jedward addressed the 1D boys directly saying
they stand with them and that they’ve known about the toxic environment for years.
Fellow British singer and former Syco Record Label member Rebecca Ferguson also chimed
in on the conversation with some serious allegations writing quote, “A boyband member told me
that they were being picked up and thrown against walls, when they challenged decisions!
I spoke with the accused and his words were "when you make as much money as you guys do,
you don't get a say in what you do in your life, you do as we say" #change”
Rebecca went on and said that she would not stop fighting for the people that the music
industry has mistreated and misused like this.
And all of these tweets and accusations got Justice for 1D and Justice for Little Mix
trending worldwide.
Additionally, other X Factor groups like Fifth Harmony were also being named and fans were
demanding justice.
Fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts like this person who wrote “These all 3
bands deserves better! Really?! How can you mistreat multi talented people who bring money
to you? Directioners, Mixers & Harmonizers have been waiting for this JUSTICE FOR 1D
AND LITTLE MIX. JUSTICE FOR FIFTH HARMONY. My middle Finger salutes you Simon Cowell”
Another fan tweeted saying “I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS OH MY GOD FINALLY PEOPLE ARE STARTING
TO TALKKKKKKKK DON'T LET IT STOPPPPPP. SIMON, SYCO, AND MODEST RUINED THEM, ABOUT TIME B***H.
JUSTICE FOR 1D AND LITTLE MIX. JUSTICE FOR FIFTH HARMONY”
This person chimed in writing “I'm just so glad were able address and take some action
on this now. They were just teenagers who had a common dream. Syco took advantage of
the fact that they would do anything to achieve that dream and exploited them. JUSTICE FOR
1D AND LITTLE MIX. JUSTICE FOR FIFTH HARMONY.”
And this fan said “JUSTICE FOR 1D AND LITTLE MIX, AND TO THOSE OTHER ARTISTS WHO EXPERIENCED
MISTREATMENT! To Simon Cowell and his sh*tty label, it's payback time now.”
The members of 1D, Little Mix, and Fifth Harmony haven’t publicly responded to their bands
all trending and fans demanding justice for them.
And Simon hasn’t directly answered to the fans about this matter either.
We will keep you guys posted if we hear from any of them.
