She set the record straight on all the XF rumors on her new book. She revealed it was not Fox's decision to sack her but Simon's himself and that he never told her in person that she was fired. He sent one of the producers of the show to deliver the news.

I'm glad she did not take it and I totally get why she did not BUT imagine these two on the judging panel...

I wish she was at least the host or something.
The only judge I could see her replacing tho is LA Reid since he is boring

I know...BUT they WONT replace LA since he is the one signing the X factor contestants along with SYCO.

She would've been a great host tbh.

Cheryl and Britney would have been amazing

Here for Britney Spears being replaced by Cheryl.

She's doesn't fit in the US.

So Simon wanted both Britney and Cheryl as the female judges.

So she doesn't care about fame after all...

True... Simon should've had a young male singer in there tbh.

That would've been cute. I think her and Brit would've been tight.

it wasn't even reported lol...

WOW !!!!

Gorel, i'm sorry but you don't even live in the US

Thank god she rejected it, I'm so glad we got Demi instead, she's doing amazing!

She's doing a good job IMO.
From what I've seen she's currently the most likeable judge in the panel.

well nobody knew who Simon or Randy were when AI started. If she would've taken it im pretty sure she would've been a hit. Did you not see the reviews of last year's first episode?? People wanting more of her and saying it was a shame Simon fired her

and I know she hasn't looked that good since the circus era
