Mel B slams ‘rude’ Simon Cowell

OHMYGOSSIP — Mel B has slammed Simon Cowell for being “so rude”.
The 42-year-old singer – who split from husband Stephen Belafonte in March amid accusations he had been abusive and got their nanny pregnant – threw a glass of water over her ‘America’s Got Talent’ co-judge and stormed off the set of the live show on Tuesday (22.08.17) after he made a jibe about her wedding night.
And Mel admitted his poking fun at her touched a nerve at a time when her emotions were already running high.
She explained to E! News: “[Contestant Evie Clair had] really made me cry because it made me think about my dad, and my dad recently passed away from cancer also, with an almost eight to nine years struggle. So a story like that from such a young girl really touches my heart.
“She just sounded so beautiful and I couldn’t stop crying, so I go from that to Simon saying something so rude and inappropriate.”
And the ‘Stop’ singer appeared to quash speculation her tantrum was staged for the camera.
She insisted: “My journey tonight was all over the place. But I’m a very real, honest person, so what you see is what you get.”
Simon had made the jibe after magician Demian Aditya saw his trick flop due to a technical malfunction.
He quipped: “I kind of imagine this would be like Mel B’s wedding night. A lot of anticipation, not much promise or delivery.”
Fellow judge Heidi Klum previously admitted she thought Simon “deserved” his soaking.
She told Us Weekly: “I mean, you know, [Simon] was pretty harsh today. So he deserves getting wet from her. I knew it was coming too. She’s not going to take that from him.
“I just have to be quick, always. When I feel it coming, I don’t know. Am I going backwards, am I going forward? You have to be quick with those two.”
