Jedward Slam Simon Cowell, 'X Factor' & Syco In Series of New Tweets
Music duo and twins Jedward are slamming Simon Cowell and his Syco Entertainment in a series of tweets on Monday (April 5).
The 29-year-old twins, John and Edward Grimes, took to Twitter to speak out about the mistreatment of not only them but other artists like Little Mix and One Direction.
“The Biggest regret in life was not telling the judges on Xfactor to f–k off ❤️,” they started out. “Every contestant on the Xfactor was a slave to the show and got paid Zero while they made millions!”
“The fact that every contestant has to act like their judge mentors them! When in reality all they care about is their pay check!” the guys continued. “Simon Cowell thinks he’s the Mafia leader of the music industry when in reality he’s nothing but a bad facelift ❤️”
Jedward added that, “There’s a reason Syco is called Psycho! 1D and Little Mix are legally f–ked in contracts and can never speak out so we are!”
Fans quickly responded to the tweets, getting “Justice for 1D and Little Mix” trending on Twitter. They even included tweets from other artists Jaiden of JLS fame and Rebecca Ferguson, who are also X Factor alums and have spoken out about their experiences.

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

We have 1D’s contract which was sent to use by mistake cuz we had the same label! Same management! Same security and accountants!

Legally posting contracts online is gonna end up in court but we’ve known for many years the situation! Niall! Liam! Louis! Zayn! Harry! You’re survivors ❤️

This isn’t our story to tell! It’s an insight of how corrupt the music industry is! We’re sending courage & strength to all artists being fucked over! It ends now 🙌🏼❤️🙌🏼

There’s a reason I’ve never been sued for what I’ve said for the last 10 years about a certain boyband member. You can’t sue someone with tonnes of proof. 👀 so, call me liar all you want in your little tweets. 😁

Oh modest management have never scared me and never ever will 😂 They know that. 👍🏾 Nothing but bullies.

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

This is why I fight,this is why I have written to people in positions of power & requested for an inquiry.We can change things for future artists/contestants! For far too long people have looked away.Falsely conditioned to be afraid when we the artists have always held the power.
