Two X Factor Judges Just EVISCERATED Some Poor Kid Worse Than Any Reality Show Judge You've Ever Seen

Guardian – Two judges on New Zealand’s X Factor have been fired for “bullying” a contestant live on air after a diatribe that makes Simon Cowell look encouraging.

Husband-and-wife duo Natalia Kills and Willy Moon were sacked by MediaWorks, the owner-operator of TV3, the network that airs X Factor New Zealand, for their “destructive tirade” on Sunday evening.

Kills criticised a 25-year-old contestant, Joe Irvine, on Sunday’s show for allegedly stealing her husband’s look “from the hair to the suit”. She called him “disgusting” and “creepy” and asked: “Do you not have any value or respect for originality?”

Despite the obvious discomfort of their fellow judges and booing from the audience, Moon joined in, likening Irvine to “Norman Bates dressing up in his mother’s clothing” before suggesting he might murder the crowd.

Normally I’d try to see both sides here but this honestly was so uncomfortable I couldn’t even stand it. I don’t even know that you need to hear the audio to hate these two. Just look at the screengrab of their faces as the Kills chick was tearing into this dude:

Just the most hateable faces I could possibly imagine. Anyway the beatdown was so bad that even a stud like Ed Sheeran had to chime in with support for Joe Irvine:

Yeah so Ed Sheeran’s basically the exact opposite of these two dickbag judges, a guy who’s actually accomplished things in spite of his — shall we say — unconventional looks offering support to some dude who just wants to chase his dream. Just another reason to hate these two and like Ed Sheeran, I guess.

PS there’s a 50/50 chance this guy threw a hula hoop at a dog during his performance. Not sure if that changes things for you guys.
