By now, we all know what Simon Cowell is about. He’s a panto dame without quite so much badly applied make-up. He is the head of an entertainment syndicate that is rivalled only by WWE. In fact, the similarities between Cowell and wrestling’s Vince McMahon are many. Flat-top hair-cut… neutrally coloured clothes that still manage to be slightly offensive… man-tits… giant foam hand. Anyway, the point is, they’re the villain of the show, watching over their lair like mini-Murdochs.
So when someone goes on a show of theirs, we all know exactly what to expect. In Cowell’s case, we expect an eye-roll and perhaps a withering aside delivered in his posho English voice (his best was when he told Gillian McKeith that she had made a song “non-human”.) However, that’s not stopping one woman from suing Simon Cowell for discrimination.
