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.

Simon Cowell Thinks This Is When One Direction Will Get Back Together

Simon Cowell Thinks This Is When One Direction Will Get Back Together

One Direction are showing no sign of reuniting any time soon, but Simon Cowell is predicting when they will reunite!

The X Factor judge who helped create the boy band on the music show in 2010 thinks the guys – Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, and Louis Tomlinson – will get back together within the next five years.

“My gut feeling is yes. I mean, they’re all doing great solo wise, at the moment, but they had a lot of hits. So, they could do tour, after tour, after tour. You know you could sell out a One Direction gig, or a stadium tour, in about 20 seconds,” he said of the possibility of a reunion.

“I would say within five years.”

“That’s only a guess. Not that I know. It’s only a guess,” he added.

In the meantime, Harry Styles recently announced his new album will be out in December and Louis‘ debut album will be released in January!

Little Mix Will Not Be Working With Simon Cowell Anymore

Little Mix has signed on with a new record label.

After working together since winning The X Factor UK back in 2011, the girls – Jesy Nelson, Jade Thirlwall, Perrie Edwards, and Leigh-Anne Pinnock – and producer Simon Cowell have decided to split.

Little Mix has reportedly become increasingly frustrated over the past year working at Simon‘s record label Syco, leading to a major fallout just days ahead of the release of their new album LM5.

According to reports, that girls confronted Simon in an email – detailing all of the issues they’ve had with his label. Little Mix‘s management company Modest and Simon had another fallout, leading Simon to cut all ties with the company’s artists.

A spokesperson for Simon then released a statement to The Sun saying, ““Syco Music will no longer work with Modest Management and therefore any artists signed to that management company. We do, of course, wish all artists affected by this decision every future success. Consequently, LM5, the forthcoming Little Mix album A&R’d and released on Syco Music, is to be serviced by RCA at the request of Syco and Simon Cowell.”

Louis Tomlinson Got Help From Simon Cowell During a Pretty Scary Moment

Aww, we love how much of a father figure Simon Cowell has become to the One Direction guys!

The reality TV judge and producer recently shared a story about a time Louis Tomlinson‘s nerves got the best of him before a show.

“When somebody goes a little bit crazy, my way of dealing with things is to deal with it straight away, face-to-face,” Simon told Billboard about the incident. “I sat him down and went, ‘Look, we’ve all been there, I’ve been there. You’re in a fantastic place right now.’ … And then we laughed it off, he sent me a very nice text afterwards and from that moment we had this incredible bond.”

Simon also revealed that he told Louis – the last of the guys to launch his solo career – not to feel too much pressure and to “always be true to yourself with the music.”

Louis and I, you know, we’ve got this very close bond,” Simon elaborated. “When we heard about this current record, I remember calling him and going, ‘Louis, this record is special’ – and I could not be happier.”

“Actually, with all the boys, if I’m being honest with you,” Simon added. “They’ve worked for this. But yeah, you do feel a little bit like a proud dad when you see all five of them doing well now.”

Simon put Louis, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, and Zayn Malik together in a group after they all auditioned individually for The X Factor UK in 2010.

The day the world was changed forever.

Is a One Direction without Harry Styles a possibility in the future?

Simon Cowell, who created the band back in 2010, says it’s definitely possible, but “it wouldn’t be the same.”

“You know, it’s fun being out there on your own, but what I hope is going to happen is that they remember now how much fun it was being in a group,” Simon told The Sun. “I always believe that you don’t make rules, you break the rules. So there’s nothing to stop them, if they want to, getting together for a tour, for an album.”

“I made it absolutely clear, obviously, ‘We’re in,’” he added.

Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, and Harry all went their separate ways and embarked on their own solo projects just over a year ago.

Louis has recently revealed the the guys are still his “best mates,” and in May, Harry said he “wouldn’t rule out” a reunion.
