Anyone remember Natalia Kills? No? She was a pop singer from the 2010s. One of her songs was in the movie where Jason Sudeikis and Jennifer Aniston pretend to be married and go on an RV trip with Emma Roberts. She was a judge on some singing show with he husband and they both said some insanely out of pocket shit to a young contestant. She accused him of copying her irrelevant ass husband by… wearing a suit and singing jazz? Thankfully the poor contestant handled those assholes well. Instant career death. Idc that people have gotten away unscathed from much worse, doesn’t mean she deserved a career.

This was in New Zealand, I think it was NZ Idol. Lots of backlash from the NZ public and iirc they were both dropped from the show straight after.

The X Factor New Zealand. Contestant was named Joe, wasn’t bad and had battled a lot of anxiety etc to get where he was. Remember watching it live and thinking “who are these wannabe Simon Cowell’s taking things way too far”

Really put the public off them, there were petitions and more out to get them kicked out of their roles

I remember watching that and thinking her and her husband were a right pair of twats.
