'BGT' contestant 'sues Simon Cowell'

[Gavster]

According to the Daily Mail, 53-year-old Emma Czikai said that she felt "degraded" following the negative feedback she received from judges Cowell and Amanda Holden.

After her audition, Cowell told her: "Emma, Emma, reality check here, it's not the music; it's not the microphone; it's you."

Czikai argued that her performance was affected by her medical conditions and is now suing Cowell's company Simco Limited on the basis of 'disability discrimination'.

At a pre-tribunal review today in London, she said: "I am certainly not prepared to be humiliated.

"Because I have these illnesses, singing is all I can do for my future and therefore it is important for me not to have 13 to 20 million people all over the world thinking I cannot sing.

"It is quite upsetting to be regarded as a failure and to be targeted and mocked.

"It was the microphone. It was the music. I have not got a horrible singing voice when I am in a fair environment that meets my disabilities as I proved on Britain's Got More Talent."

A representative for Simco Limited, Thomas Linden QC, said that it was opposing Czikai's right to have a full hearing on the basis that Britain's Got Talent is not an employer and cannot be treated as one.

I am certainly not prepared to be humiliated.

Whaaaaaaaaat???!!!!! WHAAAAAAAT!!!???? What the fuck were you doing there in the first place then?

I'm not even going to bother listening to the fucking spazzo cow, Gavster. She needs a good old karate chop to the throat. I'm going to sue her in fact for making me furious.
