- When Zoe Alexander tried out for The X-Factor back in June 2012, it ended up ruining her entire life. She was alienated by her friends, community and the world, but who's fault was it? Was she set up, or was Zoe Alexander in the wrong for losing her temper in the first place? Did the X-Factor edit the footage to make her look extra bad? Was Zoe Alexander conspired against by The X-Factor?
This is, How X-Factor Destroyed A Contestant's Entire Life
Thank you guys for watching, like and sub if you enjoyed, SunnyV2
Also, the idea for this video was inspired by "ItzRooster" who posted a video on a similar topic in November 2020 titled "How The X-Factor Destroyed This Contestant's Life | Zoe Alexander's Audition" You can watch their version here - • How The X-Factor Destr... - Zábava
Them telling her to sing a pink song and to be a pink impersonator before the show, then the judges telling her that she should find her own identity has to be the most infuriating thing I've ever seen in my life.
Then the newspaper article calls her a 'pink impersonator' 💀 those shows are terrible anyway
"Journalism" online is dogshit. They just repeat what everyone else is saying in slightly different terminology and just about nothing posted on a newpaper site is actually real journalism anymore.@@maddyberkley1836
i literally stopped watching x factor over that deadass
Thats fake reality tv for ya, lots of contracts and snaky camera and audio edits.
She listened to the producers for no reason and threw a tantrum. She's clearly not the brightest. You also have to realize that the producers are not the judges nor are they always in contact.
Truly sad how TV shows would rather ruin someone’s life than make a genuine episode

A girl from my home town made a big impression on the X Factor a few years ago and got through several stages of the audition process, but then completely disappeared from the lineup without explanation. Mutual friends later explained to me that she had been asked to beg and plead on stage, like Zoe was here, but she refused and was subsequently dropped.
Good for her. She kept her integrity. The woman in this video could have made the same choice, but she let herself be manipulated.

@@ihatemickiegee That's very true. But once she learned what was going on, she chose to say it ruined her life. You learn hard lessons from life, you chalk it up to experience, and you move on. It only ruins your life if you let it.

Get over it lol she made the choice to go on there
Crazy how one person successfully shut down an entire segment of the entertainment industry. After what she did, no one ever trusted talent shows ever again. This should be made into a movie
I wouldn't say it shut down an talent shows, there are still just as many talent shows airing and it still happens countless times probably behind the scenes.
I would argue that her story ended the X Factor in its tracks. It aired its last season in 2018 and was expected to make a comeback and return after the pandemic, but then Zoe comes out in July 2020, and it caused so much backlash that in 2021, they announced they would not return.
bullshit if only people were that smart and logical.. instead reality shows just keep flocking viewers like none of the segments of a reality show aren't scripted. Including the rise to fame of a bunch of talentless smugs grouped together by Simon like it was a completely natural event that randomly occurred. And more of these scripted hidden talents getting popular on live stage continues to make it on such shows and everyone blindly accepts it. Reality shows will keep profiting off such stupid people.
@@patrickcheatham2997 no it was declining for years lol get a clue
If there will be a movie inspired or based on her i hope Margot Robbie will be the actor portraying her, i can see Margot's resemblance to her just from the facial expressions.
It actually seemed really obvious to me that she'd been coerced into that reaction. This happens a lot in Narcissistic Abuse - the victim is manipulated and humiliated until they snap, at which point the abuser sits back like the epitome of composure.
Absolutely, this makes a lot of sense. Her reaction really seemed like she’d just realized she’d been scammed or misled and sabotaged; that she’d been backstabbed.
The fact that there are several rounds of auditions aside from what we see on the TV and the judges reaction are filmed later and exaggerated
Dude… stop with the victim mentality. She AGREED to sing the Pink song, and they even gave her a second chance and she was clearly not good enough, and then she behaved like a spoiled brat. That is ALL her!
@laurencewhite4809 Lol. Spoken like someone who has no idea what coercion is, bless you.
@@R3B3K4H Coersion?😂 She’s an adult woman who acted like a toddler physically attacking the cameraman🤣🤣
I remember watching this clip years ago and thinking she was nuts, but when I rewatched it a couple days ago it clicked that when she said "you told me to sing a Pink song" she meant "you" as in the show/producers...
I totally believe her. There’s this one vocal coach (she’s now on youtube) got into one of these tv shows, and was portrayed to be over confident and showy and like a Ms Know It All since she’s a vocal coach. She was obviously devastated when it happened, but luckily her students and the parents all didn’t believe the tv show one bit. And now she’s doing better and help teach young kids who wanted to go on these tv shows.

She even said it on the stage: "I didn't want to sing a Pink song"
I have no doubt everything she said was honest
they let her sing another song though and concluded she wasn't good enough not sure what the big deal is here
@@sponish0Regardless of her actual talent, you're braindead if you don't understand "what the big deal is".
7:45 [paused] her hand is still curled around the mic they edited out, the “thrown” mic is in the air a little before she could’ve thrown it. The editing scarily good.
what's crazier about it to me is since the footage is edited so much it makes it seem like it was just an excuse she was trying to think up and the judges just looked at her like she was stupid
Sure, if you have no doubt, it must be true, then and she is a victim.
The PRODUCERS told her to sing a Pink song, which she did. That’s what she meant when she told the judges “you told me to sing a Pink song”. But they edited it to make her look like she was a deranged maniac. Shame on them for doing this to her! They are lucky she didn’t sue them for defamation of character.
Tara Simon also had a bad experience on this show. They portrayed her to be something she’s not.
I auditioned for this show in 2011 at the Arizona Mills in Tempe, AZ. I didn’t make it. Now in retrospect, I’m glad I didn’t make it. They would have bamboozled me as well!
that’s so crazy!!! i’m so glad she’s been able to move past it but not only that…she got it removed and made a whole generation aware. that’s remarkable.
Good for Zoey 😊❤😊
when she said “you told me to do Pink” I thought there was more to the story. There’s no way she would have had that mental breakdown simply for being rejected as a contestant. I’m glad her story is out because the truth will always prevail
@@PersisP As stated in the video, She dropped the mic, she didn't throw it. that was all post production. Not everything on tv is as it seems.
@@PersisP bro you are being gaslit with cameras in your face, tons of pressure, on one of the biggest days of your life and people are literally FEEDING on your downfall. tbh breaking down is justified. we arent robots.
Even if she said it, we were conditioned to believe that she was lying, because the editing made her seem paranoid.
Typically how psychopaths go about ‘crazymaking’ normal talented creative individuals and then call them crazy when these same people react to their self serving manipulation and abuse
Mental breakdown 🤦🏻♂️
Throwing a tantrum because she didn’t get her way
I remember growing up thinking this lady was crazy. It goes to show the amount of power these talent shows have in sculpting personalities for themselves

I stopped supporting and wanting to apply for TV Talent Shows after I auditioned for Britains got Talent when I was 11 (I’m almost 27 now) and all they kept asking me before my first audition was if I had any kind of sob story or trauma that I wanted to share with viewers if I made it to the judges audition so they could essentially get me a sympathy vote…
My mum was dead against it and said “if they don’t want you for your talent then using a trauma story is not the way to get to where you want to be” I completely agreed with her. So we said we didn’t have anything like that and as soon as we said that, it became instantly apparent how they suddenly lacked interest in me… It was awful and as an 11 year old girl who idolised these kinds of shows and believed they could make dreams come true, my eyes in that moment were suddenly opened to how fake and awful they are… Everything is about the “entertainment” value and majority of the time they don’t actually care about genuine talent.
The rest of that audition day was so disappointing as I remembered just feeling like “why am I here? I can already tell now I have said I have no trauma story that they aren’t interested” as a little girl that was such a sucky, disappointing feeling.
Little did they know I actually had a really heavy trauma story from when I was a baby and my father took his own life but we as a family didn’t want that to be the reason I got any further, plus my mum is a very private person so understandably didn’t want to share that on national television with the world.
So you didn't make it through though did you. And yet you still went on.

It’s truly sad to see the X Factor go out of their way to ruin her life because of one outburst, I’m glad to see the audience and public side with her instead of siding with the X Factor
That's how reality shows work
SunnyV2 bots didnt even watch the raw audition. She assaults an innocent camera man, drops very vulgar insults to the judges, and rips down the sets.

Hell yeah Zoe! redemption! :) so glad you are still alive and people were able to actually witness how horrible these producers and shows can be. every reality and competition show is scripted and edited to fit a storyline. even when they record the "truth", it is always warped through editing and cut for time. thank you for continuing to show yourself to the world despite how awful some people have treated you. you are an inspiration to many !
The fact that the video is exactly 10 minutes is so perfect to me
I actually feel bad for her. She wanted to just be herself, and they pushed her to do something she didn’t want to do. I really hope she’s doing okay nowadays.
Don't read my name!!
I agree. her being a mediocre singer isn't the point - they forced her to be someone she's not, and then she was punished for it.
It's a lesson learned that at the end of the day, "reality" shows especially talent shows like these aren't real. I won't ever support shows like these if all they do is try to get more attention by ruining someone's life. DON'T GIVE THESE SHOWS THE ATTENTION THEY DON'T DESERVE
False. Zoe wasn’t what they were looking for, so she got angry. And let me read that again, “punished?!” Dude that’s not being punished, it’s literally being rejected from going on to the next round. Like wha
Show business is a bitch!
She wanted to be herself? 🤔 Wasn't she trying to be P!nk!? 😂
Although Zoe's singing voice didn't have the wow factor, it's just disgusting how this show humiliated her and how much embarrassment her and her family have suffered for so many years. I'm glad the truth is out now and going viral. This is the least justice she deserves back.
I haven't heard her sing other than the audition - but if they really did play the instrumental in a different key, then that's going to make even the best singers sound terrible.
She embarrassed herself by the way she acted. She should have just left.
@@fableydra yeah but imagine someone telling you to act s certain way just to get clowned on national television lol
@@deana1587 LOL she clowned herself by acting the way she did. She could have just walked away. She wasn't getting anywhere professionally in her singing career, hence, why she came on this show. And her voice is mediocre at best. If you like her so much, buy her album. Oh, wait, you can't, because she never put one out.
@@fableydra So you've never acted a certain way and regretted it after? You're a perfect human who can keep their emotions in check 24/7? Sure thing. Yes she reacted poorly (being made to look like an idiot, in front of thousands of people after you've been excited about that moment for months can do that to you), but if you watched the video it says that they cut to footage and moved it around to make it seem a lot worse than it was. Have some compassion and an open mind. Unless you've been in that situation yourself, you have no idea how you'd react.
Never trust what’s on TV. My family was once randomly interviewed about just hanging out at a lake beach, but when the segment aired, they used the footage and our genuinely innocent comments completely out of context in order to push a narrative on a controversial issue that they never mentioned during the interview. Thankfully it’s not like it was anything big enough for us to get hate over it, but it could have been, and it could happen to anyone at anytime.
Well done Zoe for having the courage to speak out against these terrible people.

Thank you for sharing this. It was clear, even before Zoe’s appearance that some of the show is scripted to the letter, back stories played “before”judges are made aware of contestant’s background, Simon sleaze is supported by celebrities who curry his favor. But he and his ilk (think Oprah) are crying all the way to the bank. And now Simon is a Dad. Frightening that this short, squat open shirted sleaze had so much power.
They didn't just want her to perform as Pink. They wanted her to flip out. They demanded she go onto the show as a Pink impersonator, only to tell her she needed to be herself. The word 'Gaslighting' gets thrown around way too much these days. This is it. This is as good an example of Gaslighting as you can possibly get.
wish reality tv shows weren’t like this but every single one is.
People worried about robots and AI replacing script writers today... but reality TV producers already hated writers since the beginning. They wanted all the viewership of a drama show but with less effort, by haphazardly doing it with real people, not fictional ones, and without much writing and just calling it "reality TV".
yeah this was fully planned. this shit happens all the time on reality tv it’s very calculated manipulation
How did they know she would flip out? I didn't know the the judges were all psychic.
@@jerzywoking1699it's not future telling it's just being able to read people. Most people flip out when try realized they've been mentally manipulated.

I knew right away that something was wrong
I don't want to put the entire blame on the judge because it was probably scripted by the producer on the backstage. They probably just follow the script to gave her the second chance.

My family grew up watching the X Factor in the UK, both physically and through TV. As I grew into my teens, I honestly felt X Factor's storytelling was the equivalent of companies changing their logos during Pride Month. They don't care about the people, they're just tryna feed off societal empathy and are ready to pounce to ruin people's image for show anytime. But hey, thats British entertainment in a nutshell.
Same, until my Dad pointed out that many of the contestants they tear into have clear learning disabilities or mental health issues and I just never looked at it the same way again. I'm glad people are turning on these kinds of shows at last.
Your comment is true. I like how you brought up how companies change n there logos for pride month to get some money from gullible viewers is like this situation. Thank the Lord Zoey is ok. 🙂👍
I think it is worse than companies changing their logos for pride month. These are individuals, who are targeted, manipulated & exposed to public scrutiny.
A lot of them are clearly not prepared for being flung into the spotlight, and you never know which clip will go viral.
Some people who have been on reality shows have also not been thoroughly vetted, or they disclose their fragile mental helath and are told they will be supported, or even told it will enhance their performance. Even the big budget shows are known for having poor after care and many contestants mental helath has spiraled, some ending in them taking their own life.
I think the worse offenders are those like Jeremy Kyle, Dr Phil etc who clearly manipulate very vulnerable people, then exploit them. Or push them into accepting inappropriate treatment, of even abusive treatment. Or the show completely abandons them, when the reason they appeared on the show was that they felt hopeless and were promised help.
It's no wonder many feel resentment, regret, and many other negatives after their experiences.
British entertainment is as bland as their food.
british moment
I'd watch a full documentary of this with deeper interviews and what not
I'm shocked! Thank you for speaking out!😮
I had a somewhat similar experience on AGT. I sent in the goofiest audition tape possible where I dressed up in a chicken suit and squeaked a bunch of rubber chickens. I got invited on the show, however I beefed up the act and added a ton of epic drumming into it. I played through the act flawlessly and the judges told me I needed to get better at drumming. Made no sense until the episode aired. They cut out about 80% of the act to make it look bad and added fake audience boo's. But I didn't even try to argue with the judges. I just squeaked the rubber chicken into the microphone and walked off like a badass poultry-man.
Darn, I feel bad for you.

Around 2004, I first learned of the TV show “American Idol”. Curious, I watched one episode. After that, I was disgusted in how I thought the nature of the show was to humiliate, and not present, talented singers. This was for TV ratings, and I never watched another talent show.
I hope this gets her more fans. The more i hear about the entertainment business the more sickened I am. These people can make or destroy a life.

Good thing it's pretty common knowledge now that reality shows are anything but real. I heard a story here in the US (Dallas, TX specifically) about some reality show that didn't get very far.
One of the girls said the producers wanted to do a show about her having a "wild and crazy" bday party, even though it wasn't her birthday. And they were trying to stoke drama between the girls and telling them to fight with each other. But she said it didn't work because they all actually got along pretty well.
Geez! I couldn't believe that those TV Producers were working so hard on creating DRAMAS. 🙄
Editing is everything indeed
Poor girl, after all the years of suffering she and her family went through the truth finally came into the light.

Poor girl, after all the years of suffering she and her family went through the truth finally came into the light.
This is such qn important video. I have never seen her current videos, and i was really dissappointed in her audition as I didn't understqnd why she blamed the judges on the song pick.
Now that I know the FULL story, I feel horrible for ever thinking she was in the wrong. She seems like a very sweet person, she did whatever they asked of her! She was just distressed from the horrible situation they put her in.
This is actually scary to see.
They have actually defamed her.
They literally betrayed her. They set her up and she figured it out fairly quickly, so now they want to gaslight her experience
They probably set her up but she also went off the rails. She's acting like they faked everything negative about her
@@MG-uz5mr because they are fake.
@@MG-uz5mrShe acted crazy. Didn't handle it well.
@@kingbaboon1145she acted crazy for sure. But she was played
@@lmusima3275 Yep
The very moment she said to them “you told me to do Pink” is when the producers realized it was time to cut the mic or Zoe was going to expose their crap and once they cut the mic off before she started explaining is when she became even more infuriated. They set her up. That’s bullsh*t
If that is even true. It could just be her excuse to defend herself. It is a one-sided story. Where is the producers in this video that supposedly told her to be Pink? You need both sides.
@@JonasVloggar it's common for shows like this to lie and make up stuff so that's why we believe her
You can also see how she completely cannot take in any critizism. That is my point towards my side@@Lukereads0
@@JonasVloggarwhy would the producers fess up to something like this ofc it’s gonna be one sided
If you only want the manipulated truth, that is what you gonna get. Producers might as well just say that nothing like that ever happened and that she just made up everything as her only excuse for her shitty behaviour@@pradapimpcess
Wow and yay to being able to reverse the bullying and come together as a community to disband her interview footage 💕
so they set her up to sing a different song from her choice, then told her to be emotional, and then them knowing all they told her to FIND HER OWN IDENTITY??? like yeah, sorry hun, you gave me this identity 30 minutes ago.
It's honestly disgusting what X Factor did to her. I'm glad she's in a better place now.
She's dead?

@@elsunshine9976
Because they railroaded her into rejection and acted like she didn't do exactly as they asked her to.
"Be pink. Do a pink song. Why are you trying to be pink, you need to find your own Identity."
@SillyMelanie_ you say that as if she were dead
The way she just went, '...you told me to sing a P!nk song' in the audition is so tragic. And, honestly, her singing was actually not bad. I can imagine her doing crazy choreography tbh.
They cut out important details in the back that explain her out of line personality
I can see, she's not super super talented but she's okay. It geniunely feel like the song was offkey for her and she was trying to find the notes because she was so used to sing it differently.
Better singing than I could ever do 😅
Don't read my name!!
You are a very strange individual@@Dont_Read_My_Picture
i remember my big sister spending atleast 6 years so she could become the school music leader when they judges said she was absolutely horrible because of the 30$ mic they school had after this we sued the school they lost and the judged emailed my father saying we were abusing my big sister for pushing her to become the school music leader absolutely disgusting.
I remember watching this live when it was first aired. I thought she was an absolute lunatic. Now that I’m older and understand how programmes can magically edit a situation, I feel sorry for her for what really happened.
I'm gonna be honest, when I first saw Zoe's audition I actually sided with X-Factor and saw her as a brat that didn't get her way. Then when I saw her video showing the differences between what was reality and what was edited, my jaw dropped and I immediately apologized to her.
This was the point when I started seeing shows like X-Factor for what they really are; A group of predators that seek to use people's ambitions for their own twisted goals, they do not care about "finding talent", they only care about making a show and raking in the money even if it means ruining someone's life.
By the way, If you go to Zoe's CZcams and give her videos a listen, you'll see she's actually a pretty good singer.
honestly dude, the way all these tv shows are edited really shows how they manipulate them to make “reality look real when it’s not, it’s just heavily edited to make the majority of real situations a completely different thing due to the editing
I never heard them say she was a bad singer, just that her singing voice didn't stand out enough.
Especially if you're very young, you always are on the "hero's" side. So I get you on a personal level lol. But seriously, what happened to her was SO unfair!
@@mahdireza5695And if you have a sob story, you're guaranteed to win the whole thing.
She's an OK singer, nothing special, and the judges weren't wrong. What was wrong was trying to set up an emotional outburst on TV. But this girl did not have to act that way or attack cameras or any of that. She could have just been upset, made her peace, and left. Reality shows are manufactured and fake.
So sad to see the judges say "we didn't tell you" and then go on and call it a hissy fit, I really feel horrible for Zoe. It's simply bullying and setting someone up to look like a fool. I hope she's doing better now.
Tulsa has form for lying, she was involved in cocaine dealing.
They likely didn't. The judges aren't involved with contestant picks and what songs they perform.
@@bbbbbbb51 They have been doing this for years and given the business practices this won't be the first time someone actually complained that they got f**** by the company. Of course they know what's going on behind the scenes.
China’s The Voice has a very interesting story with the bullying of Coco & the behind the scenes bribes & heavily edited scenes
@bbbbbbb51 if the judges are in fact innocent, as you claim; then why would they record their reactions after to be edited in as if they said it to her face?
I am certain they also saw the final cut of that show before it was broadcasted and seeing as they were there in real time when the performance actually took place, they also know what happened and in what order.
If you ask me, they most likely added in their own finishing touches for a bit more razzle dazzle😒
Oh that's right... the later recorded reactions by them‼️
The only thing is I struggle to understand how they could have cgi’d so well because even in films by huge company’s cgi doesn’t look real where as this does, plus with her saying all the stuff that apparently didn’t happen there’s no proof it’s just her word against the judges.
Because she is lying.
She snaped and went rampage thats it.
I mean I understand that she is angry ,but they didnt told her to ne rampage.
Its bs
That's so messed up they ruin and exploit this woman's chance and edited everything just to make her look atrocious.
looking back on her audition after seeing her video for the first time, her breakdown is 1000% understandable. anyone would break like that, and i feel genuinely, truly awful for her. this poor girl, and knowing it was insanely difficult for her to recover from it i feel even more for her. i really hope zoe is alright these days..
well no not everyone would break like that, i get being frustrated or pissed off but that was a very extreme melt down to do knowing you're on camera in front of hundreds of people.
@@sponish0 extreme, yes, but i think youre severely underestimating the pressure she was under lmao
@@airsteelport of course she's under pressure she applied to go into the x factor what was she expecting?
@@airsteelport The same pressure 100s of others that have gone on these shows have been under. They've been able to keep their cool.
@@MikeisVS not everyone was made a spectacle of in that degree, though. i think her pressure was a little bit different based on the fact that she was working as a pink tribute act previously and they literally tried to override the identity she was trying to find with pink. yes, everyone is under insane pressure, but this is a little different. she was pushed to this point lmfao
I auditioned for Xfactor in 2015, i made it through two rounds (the rounds before going onto the stage with the celebrity judges)
I can 100% agree with everything she has said about the production team, after witnessing the things I did and how they churn artists in and out as a number, it well and truly put me off trying again through any kind of TV music audition/competition. I was a young teenage girl and it ruined me.
I feel so sorry for this girl

These shows are horrible...so is every famous person on the judges panel knowing that this happens. So sad for her. My heart goes out to you Zoey!
I’m glad she’s getting her justice. So many people have been in this situation, and it’s so messed up that there are people out there who hold authoritative positions that think it’s funny to destroy the lives of innocent people.
I wish I could have my justice, but my situation is difficult because it happened to me when I tried for the California Highway Patrol. I wanted to be a CHP officer soooo bad, and I was told to show up to all the exercises and meetings to show I wanted to join the department. I drove over 1 hour sometimes 3 to meet with the officer to mentally and physically prepare myself. After spending years of investing my time, I finally made to the backgrounds and my background investigators in Bakersfield, California took what I said out of context and started accusing me of stuff that was not said at the interview.
I was told my morals were too high, nobody likes me, I make people uncomfortable, I hated homosexuals, I have a bad working history, I have a bad attitude, and so on. I couldn’t hold back my tears. I felt so hurt and betrayed because I looked up to these people as my role model. I was so heart broken I was hyperventilating. They told me to go find a different career because I’m not meant to be an officer.
It has been 3 years since I left California, and I still cry thinking about that situation. I’m still trying to be an officer, but it seems like all departments are the same. I feel like a lot of officers lost their humanity and they don’t put in any efforts to help those who want to become officers. All I want to do is help people and bring them justice and not have to go through what I have to.
I did write an appeal explaining why I didn’t agree with my disqualification. In the end, I got blacklisted and they wrote pages on why I’m guilty for things they can’t prove. These people don’t even know me and they judged me based on their opinions. I even found out from a friend that the main reason why I was disqualified is because the officers didn’t think I could do the job because of my religious beliefs.
After my experience of becoming an officer, I no longer support them 100% like I use to. I learned it’s easy to set people up to make them look bad, and they can get away with it because they are the authority and it’s your word against theirs.
In the end, it’s such a huge disappointment when you find out your role models are a bunch of crooks who have no right being in a position of authority. It’s all a bunch of cliques and politics. It’s not right and it’s not fair.
Don't worry about them. As you said, they were just a bunch of crooks and losers! They were losers, they didn't even want to be Officers. They did that to you so as to keep their jobs. You should feel sorry for them, shouldn't you? 😅
As someone who was a contestant on the X factor many years ago and made it on the show in a different country i can confirm the producers pick your song for you, they tell you what to sing and make it out that it was your choice, the producers also told me word for word what to say, i spent 2 hours in front of a camera being told "ok, now say this and say that" i won't forget how the producers made people break down into tears after they were told they were not moving onto the next round, they would take those who didn't make it through and say "wow you must feel devastated, your dream to be a star ends here, tell me how do you feel, how does it feel to have failed" its a full on psychological attack, my personal experience was okay but you have to be mentally prepared to be abused. I believe everything this person has said in the video but you can't let them manipulate you.
Just awful and I feel your pain it happened to me too .. at last some justice for artists 🙏🏻
Well done Zoe for standing up to these dreadful people, I have been bullied by people in power positions, it can be very damaging.
She still wasn't emotionally stable enough to go to the show. Like seriously something must be off when you basically end uo "having yourblife ruined" because someone tries tonput on a show and youblash out therefore in a moment. It's really NOT SUCH A BIG DEAL AND NO ONE REMEMBERS WHO YOU ARE just over one show 😂
I dont believe her. Shes saying they CGI'd her throwing the microphone thats bs. She acted like a brat either way. She has an excuse for everything.

How her footage was edit and cgi stupid
man i feel them i got x-factored on marvel vs capcom 3 the person who popped it was playing vergil and he had no teamates
I always had red flags from shows like x-factor or Britain's got talent because the judges are so harsh for absolutely no reason. Yes, your job is to criticise but there is no need to obliterate an audition. We're all humans with emotion at the end of the day 😭
W
usually in these shows this is the second or third audition. First auditions are done on front of producers to see what kind of TV you will make. Sometimes they get you to send in a video instead or even just an application form.
Cry harder it was a good time back then why go on a singing show if u can’t sing
That's not the worst part, it's the fact that they can manipulate both the people in and out of the stage from behind the scenes and making it "legit" is what makes me question they're morality and honesty. One example is Marcelito Pomoy who is a talented Filipino singer that auditioned in the USA got Talent and he got the same treatment with being force to not sing his song choices. Made me realize how they corrupted even for the sake of "entertainment" right in front of us without our notice
They also pity for children and give them extra points just for being children.
I don’t think we as audience members realize how fabricated much of what we see in these “reality” shows really is. I was an audience member for one of the US X Factor audition shows back in the 2010s, and before a contestant even stepped on the stage, we were instructed to carry out a series of reactions that were filmed for the show. The crowd was filmed showing various levels of excitement, confusion, anger, etc. With all of that in hand, the producers could tell whatever story they wanted to for the auditions.
I read a while ago that AGT does something similar. That the audience is instructed when the make the "x" motion or when to cheer and chant. And it makes sense. From tv there seem to be certain acts booed and cheered that make no sense.
Damn, that's the same crap you see in any Gordon ramsay skit/segment with people going "😮" in certain shoots, it looks hyper acted and super fake, makes way lots of sense now.
I always wondered how they got clips of ppl talking about an act. Like are cameramen with long mikes just wandering around the audience just catching ppl at the right time????
You only have to look at the footage where Zoe pushed the cameraman. He staggered backwards like that referee Paul Alcock who was pushed by Paulo diCanio....took about 3 steps to fall backwards with the artificially dazed look on the face, showing that even that simple task was fabricated.... and just in case you missed it, a cameraman was filming that cameraman at the time.... come on folks.
@@noahp3057 That is true. And it happens in all kinds of shows, even the live ones. My class was invited to The Voice Portugal episodes recording. They spend about 10 minutes giving out lessons about the "sign language" someone will use to control your emotions and pre-recording all of it. After that, the person in charge of controlling the audience's reactions, hidden in a place where the audience can see him but not the cameras, will use their sign language to tell you how to react. That's why you probably almost always feel you disagree with the audience in the studio. If the audience doesn't react the way they want there is no problem at all. Just use the pre-recorded reactions and edit that in.
It doesn't matter what kind of show it is, it will always be manipulated be it through audience manipulation or editing.
TV is about DRAMA....
That is their agenda...
TV gold to generate high drama...
Contestants go thru a very thorough shake down process and the judges know the deal with the performer when they audition....
Carefully crafted including the Susan Boyle factor...
I feel bad for what these evil producers, scriptwriters, show managers and 4 judges has done to Zoe.
It was really unjust.
Evil people all of them.
They knew the truth but didn't speak up.
I'm glad that this channel made a video about Zoe.
It matters that we right the wrong.
I couldn’t believe it when I first heard of her side of the story and the fact that everyone started vouch for her and stand up for her, it started to all make sense. I’m sorry you had to go through that.
7:45 [paused] her hand is still curled around the mic they edited out, the “thrown” mic is in the air a little before she could’ve thrown it. The editing scarily good cause you wouldn’t ever notice it unless you were looking for it. These people are evil
So you only believed it because everyone else did? You’re a follower. A sheep. Find your own lane and stop being a follower.
This is awful, I always thought that she was this aggressive, angry P!nk impersonator. How one show can destroy a career is beyond crimimal and it's insane to think they can always get away with it.
Thank you SunnyV2 for sharing this and clearing things out for her. This isn't just a video, this is a wake up call to stand up against media abuse and manipulation.
It's not true at all though. It's just your average cancel culture witchhunt for small children. Nobody's life got ruined, and if you had any experience or knowledge of the world you'd know that. The X-Factor treated her completely fairly. She had a tantrum and they slightly dramatized it for the tv, as is expected of them. Grow up and get a life, this "exposed" stuff is far faker than a show like X-Factor.
It's so disappointing to see little kids falling for this sort of thing. This woman wasn't maltreated in any way. Save your sympathies for real abuses please.

Some guy about to comment her fault
You do know even those who won the show had their life ruined due to the contracts they had to sign, she wasn't the only one to be screwed over. If i recall you couldn't sell anything without their permission, you couldn't even post videos of like vlogs or any tours without their permission on your own youtube channel as you had to sign that away too. They in faceted owned you like a slave for about year - 4 years, so even tho when you win you get quite chunk of money you will be locked to not earning any more money then you have from your talents for quite some time.
For real X factor truly is such a evil show be hide the curtain. I'm glad at least the uk version has been canned. Hope it never gets a reboot as i doubt i can trust that they are a good show that treats people nicely even if new people were running it.
Don't read my name!!
That's what they do clown
I had a friend who was a talented singer back when I did a communications course. She told all of us the story of how she auditioned for Xfactor New Zealand. She got through the initial round but didn't make it through the live auditions. They gave her some vague reason about why she didn't get through but the real reason was that she didn't have an emotional enough backstory. A normal childhood, parents that love and support her. It doesn't surprise me one bit that Xfactor would do this to this poor woman. When you consider how their audition process actually works, how do we think the comically bad singers get through to live auditions? They're entertainment. Something to laugh at. Like how Natalia Kills got herself kicked off the show by openly insulting one of the contestants. She was a judge by the way. That show was past the point of caring about singing or music. They wanted popularity and they didn't care who got hurt along the way.
VERY TRUE Julia....I've heard lots and lots of complaints about how unfair XFACTOR.All talent shows are my Niece tried to get on AGT with a Ekulaley and they wouldn't except her but Grace Won that year playin a Euk.......whats wrong with this pic.?.......HHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Listen pal, these programmes are all about entertainment. Its not about music. This is the lowest of low who think they can become famous because they cant go out and get a real job.
It's a TV SHOW, its whole purpose is to entertain, the contestants must have a background story to produce an emotional reaction in the audience, the show is not just someone singing. Ofc they will require or demand things that normal auditions for a label company won't.
I do believe that in this case it was very disingenuous to ask her to audition as Pink and later tell her to be herself on live, it was a very wrong thing to do.
I've heard similar stories here in the US about different types of reality shows. Good thing it's pretty common knowledge now that reality shows are anything but real. Funny how this same type of thing happens in numerous countries. There are so many dark and twisted stories from the entertainment industry.
I know there’s at least one person who’s committed suicide since this show was axed, Ariel Burkett, but I don’t know if that was directly related to the show or not
they tore that poor girl to bits......and i think she is just awsome....they used her as a boost for audience figures....she was conned and made to look a fool....she is not no fool she is beautiful and talented and the judges on that show should be ashamed!!!
Never been a fan of these X Factor, Idol type programs, and hearing the corruption that went on with the whole management, judges etc in Zoe's situation, I will never watch these shows ever!!! Glad things have worked out in Zoe's favour and I hope she heals from this horrible ordeal!
It was messed up. I'm from the UK and saw it live and knew it was a tragedy in the making. Modern Victorian freak-show. She was deliberately set up in the studio to be aggravated, and argue with her own mum. They alienated her to make her act up. Then, they made her sing Pink (which she didn't even want to). It was all rigged and she (even to this day) on her IG, still gets people mocking her. Very sad.
