Former X-Factor star turned legal professor Katie Waissel reflects on her time on the X-Factor

[@jack_timber]

She started studying in 2021 to be a lawyer, 2022 she's now a professor in law? Something here doesn't add up.

[@acquiesce100]

Its a load of nonsense

She is a jewess, so...

[@almira565]

She was an emotional wreck back in 2010 on the x factor and sounds like she still is.

[@carrie20074]

She paid to do a 12 month law course, and now practicing law. Ok…

[@professorvoluck9311]

This is nonsense. I just read an article that says she is now qualified to work as a paralegal. Not lawyer, and certainly not Law Professor.

[@ejjohnstone1984]

She should write a book, she sounds too emotional to discuss it.

[@ajashleyjames]

She made absolutely no senses

[@caterinadelgalles8783]

Yup! Utter bs!

[@MyUTube2024]

Look at her now? She sold her body for fame and fortune to dirty rich men in dubai so what has she achieved

[@kjh4496]

In 7 minutes she said absolutely nothing

[@ImmaMink]

She didn't want to go on the show? SHE BEGGED them to let her sing another song and begged them to let her go through. Watch the audition. So she had a bad experience - her and other contestants as well. You put yourself out there and you roll the dice. If she wants to make a difference, bring a lawsuit against the show TO RIGHT THE WRONGS she believes were done to contestants, herself, younger contestants, to ensure their parents/guardians have full disclosure and access to lawyers to review the contracts needed to appear on the show. These shows are never about making stars; these shows are for entertainment value. Many of the winners never become famous; more than not they don't get famous and their one shot ep or album disappears as they fade into the dust. She claims after being on the how in 2010 that she was sexually assaulted by a member of the show 5 years later. I'm not saying to disbelieve her, but how 5 years later was she still connected to the show?

[@ameswho9548]

yes to everything you said. I hope she's a better lawyer than a singer. I personally didn't like her voice. Don't like her voice. Can't handle the heat? Stay away from the fire. Simple as that. They know what they signed up for. What did she expect? duh.

[@caterinadelgalles8783]

I am not a body language expert, but that girl is clearly lying. The told on herself by saying - TWICE - 'I am speaking in riddles'.

[@leonienolan511]

She was rapped and destroyed by the x factor 😢

[@audreymcleod4076]

Shes a waffler!

[@Ricky-gv8dq]

she begged to get on, she just was not good enough... sour grapes

[@ameswho9548]

Salty sour grapes. cry cery weep wail and sob. Can't get famous from crappy singing? Just make a big stink about how you were treated.. just like everybody else who knew what they were signing up for. come ON.. PLEASE. What a waste of time this is. Really irks me to cry foul when someone doesn't get their way. Go cry-i-i.. on somebody else's shoulderr.r.r. Frank Zappa.

[@UnitedRoar]

2010 was the beginning of the end for the show most multiplied year ever!

[@alboy4]

Weird how when I search “Professor Katie Waissel” there is not a single piece of evidence on the entire internet of her professional qualifications.

[@alboy4]

But her LinkedIn does mention she’s a law student. Really gotta wonder who vets the guests on this channel.

[@alboy4]

Yeah… according to Ms Waissel herself she started studying law in September 2021. Given that it takes three years to study for a PhD… How is it even possible that she could have become a professor already??? KGB News is a f*ckin’ joke… and you lot just lap up the lies from this channel, without questioning anything.

[@jack_timber]

They must go for the cheapest most outspoken ones, the ones that are all mouth and no trousers.....

[@mickydrew]

Yeah, Google won't show you every Law professional

[@KatieWaissel]

I have not claimed in any way shape or form to be a ‘Professor in Law’ nor am I. I have studied my law degree and am continuing my career in this field. I shall request GB News to make amendments. Thank you for bringing this to light. - KW

[@Anthony1uk]

I just watched the audition after reading the news. You came across as a lovely, energetic and nice person in that. I don't think you should sue anyone. Just keep singing in your spare time if this is your passion while studying law.

[@davidkay1948]

It came from ur mouth and x factor ain't talent scouts they just don't call u up lol

[@davidkay1948]

Such a hypocrite crying about her time on x factor then not discourage anyone lol that's definition of a hypocrite

[@gquinn4159]

Nobody made her go on the show. She did very well on the show to make it as far as she did. The judges apart from Danni Minogue, kept saving her in the bottom two over much better singers because rhey felt she was more entertaining.

[@Onmysheet]

She should've just walked when the fan hate got worse.

[@musiclover-x8u]

Her voice was very weak

[@The_Oracle_of_time]

I didn't like her on X Factor and I dislike her now

[@SteTrax]

Yep, this is a girl desperate to be noticed and wants 'fame'. Unfortunately life doesn't always play the card hand that you want. I'll be the first to admit (and I am in the music industry) that Katie has a quirky contagious personality - without a doubt. However, the innocent early Madonna look had already been marketed to the hilt. She's a beautiful girl - that obviously thinks a lot about how things should be, but I really hope she can find happiness in what's she's currently pursuing. I wish you all the best Katie, and hope that you find your destination in life, without reflecting on the past too much. ❤

[@ameswho9548]

hhhaaaaa. Exactly what I said. Must be a genius.. I hope her lawyering is better than her voice. I wasn't the least bit impressed. They all know what they're signing up for so I don't feel for her at all. She wants to be famous and if she can't do it by singing.. then she'll do it by making an ass of herself.. doing a great job of it and I don't believe she was assaulted.. something is missing from that story. UGH.. gross.

[@soniawhitlow9182]

I was never an X Factor fan per se. I watched it now and then and the treatment (seen by the viewers) of @KatieWaissel was abhorrent. I would have had to sue the channel. What stood out for me, was Ms Waissel's toughness, week after week. It felt like a public character assassination a bit like the Roman gladiator games for public entertainment/ viewer numbers. I'm so pleased for her now.

Girl bye!! You begged for a chance to sing and get it right. If they would have pulled you for a mulitmillion dollar project this wouldn't even be a discussion.

[@pancake_ghosty]

She was my favourite on that season tbh

[@AlexReidOfficial]

Bravo Katie, great to see you doing great after all of the crap xx

[@peteroneill9870]

She has a master's in law from an obscure private (eg pay a fee and everyone gets in) law school. This does not make her a professor - which would require a Phd or Doctorate qualification. Maybe she lecturers or gives talks on law..but again..not a professor as this video title falsely suggests

[@BeardedBear69]

Will say it like this, she loves getting attention in any kind of way.

[@andyxxp82]

what a mess

[@emyblack3540]

lol she sounds like a lawyer XD

[@zebra3519]

So she did it for money.

[@HannahG-nk2mf]

absolutely not. If u know anything about her experiences prior & during the XTF (or the trouble that faced her & other contestants who didn’t comply) you’d understand how irrationally dismissive that conclusion it

[@jalebibaby6410]

Katie, I adore you and am in your corner. You’re so brave and have thrived in spite of everything you’ve faced. So I say this next part with love: Please please consider doing some more press and interview coaching. Your message is getting lost in your niceness and qualifier statements. It’s hard to follow and get sound bytes that can resonate with the public. Your story and work are important and need to be heard - especially by those who are completely unaware of what happened or are hesitant to hear it.

[@_Normski]

I agree. In scenarios like this it would just be eaiser to speak in "plain English" about what happened, so that the average viewer understands, as many would be none the wiser after watching this. Platforms like these are important to get the message across loud and clear.

[@alicelucchesi5333]

I agree and I also think it hasn't helped her cause to talk about how important words are but then hasn't named her qualification properly. How can she be a professor of law after a year? I think this interview needed more preparation and accuracy

I find this girl hard to listen to she makes no sense 🤦 she got her big break solely from X factor and begged the judges to be on that show her singing was very weak throughout it honestly I think her name should be Katie Waffler! 🙄
