as an artist who respects creative integrity and intellectual property I am disgusted at how much you have copied my husband if people thought Simon cow was harsh you've been very very harsh x fact to New Zealand judges Natalia Kills and Willie Moon took cruelty to another level in 2015 when they publicly humiliated contestant Joe Irvine during a live episode from the hair to the suit do you not have any value or respect for originality the married couple both part of the judging panel viciously attacked the 25-year-old singer not for his performance but for his appearance
I'm going to say it it's disgusting you make me sick it's absolutely disgusting you have no identity I can't stand it I'm ashamed to be here kills accused Irvine of copying her husband style simply because he wore a suit and had slick back hair calling him disgusting and a laughing stock you're a laughing stock it's cheesy it's disgusting I personally I personally found it absolutely artistically atrocious I am embarrassed to be sitting here in your presence having to even dignify you with an answer of my opinion Moon took it even further branding Irvine creepy and
comparing him to Norman Bates the infamous killer from Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho it's like Norman Bates dressing up on his mother's clothing it's just a little bit creepy and I feel like you're going to stitch someone's skin to your face and then kill everybody in the audience despite visibly struggling to hold back tears Irvine remained composed on stage I think I look really good and I think you look good because you're dressed as my husband actually actually actually actually you're dressed better than her husband thank you now their comments stunned audience and immediately triggered a social
media Firestorm I don't think many people have believed in you in your life I tell you right now I believe in you what it takes you've got a beautiful tone please don't listen within 24 hours more than 77,000 people had signed a petition demanding their removal from the Shir it really sound like this crowd is behind you Joe right the backlash was so intense that the network airing xact in New Zealand swiftly fired the duo stating that it did not condone bullying in any form guys you regret bullying joke thought you a bully Natalia there
are many sides to the story and I am not about to get an entire industry in trouble that has been going on for years and years entertaining the matches so thank you absolutely everyone for your support their behavior or ex Factor wasn't their first controversy I feel like everyone needs to put the idea of it being a manufactured conspiracy theory behind them there's really nothing to it earlier in the season kills had reportedly screamed and swarner audience members including children during auditions in Oakland I'm looking for something unique I am looking for something that has
never been seen before it was also revealed that kills had lost her record contract with cherry tree records months before xacta even began no matter how the world feels like it's going to end it doesn't not for you at least cuz you're not that important it's just another Saturday night stop crying meanwhile Moon had come under Fire earlier that week for allegedly using abusive language towards a woman at an ockland Bakery over a parking dispute I'm looking for a genuine artist with their own identity and I can't wait to find them Irvine's treatment struck Accord
with fans and celebrities alike prompting an outpouring of support I feel like New Zealand and part of the world has got behind me I just can't believe it and but thank you all so much at the same time critics pointed out the irony of Killer's accusations as she herself had been accused of copying Madonna Lady Gaga and even Willie Wonka I would like to wish Joe arine and my boys category all the best on the show just days after their Public Disgrace kills and moon fled New Zealand flying to Los Angeles we're going home to
make love and peace fortunately for Irvine the judges had no say in his fate viers dead just getting through the first stages it it totally shocked me because I was told I couldn't do it whole life while Natalia Kills and wiie Moon's careers took a devastating hit Joe Irvine emerged from the ordeal with an overwhelming wave of public support
