OHMYGOSSIP — Britney Spears wants protection from Simon Cowell — which is why she’s insisting on a “no bullying” clause in her X-Factor contract.
The pop superstar is about to sign a $15 million deal to join the talent show but not before she has assurances that she won’t fall victim to TV’s notorious Mr Nasty.
“Britney has huge respect for Simon but at the same time she’s a little bit scared of him,” says a source close to the Toxic singer.
“She’s excited about being part of the show but also mindful of the kind of role she is going to play on the judging panel.
“Britney doesn’t want to be the one trading verbal blows with Simon because she knows she would come off worse. She wants assurances that she will be projected in the right way. Britney wants to be the one nurturing new talent. She’ll leave the nasty stuff to Simon.”
