ZOE ALEXANDER XFACTOR THE TRUTH

[@lawrenceknight209]

You absolutely deserve and apology for this. Everything you said 100% happened. There are several people who worked backstage that support you completely, had nothing to do with setting anyone up and weren't part of this whole conspiracy thing that happened to a lot of contestants and not just you. Everything was micro-managed about the show, everything was about the show, the show was lived and breathed by the people in charge of it. The three production companies, ITV not having much to do with the day to day operations, Thames/Fremantle that controlled absolutely everything and SYCO that was 100% involved in the whole thing. Just because Simon Cowell wasn't on that season didn't mean he wasn't managing and manipulating the whole thing. Richard Holloway was his hitman and would do anything Cowell wanted to get the show ahead of any competition and to create as much scandal as possible around it so everyone would be talking about it throughout the week and not just when it aired. The shock moments were all manipulated, over edited just like yours, heavily scripted, things were shot afterwards to get the right reactions, just like the "no baby no" was. There is nothing that wasn't manipulated backstage, it was a toxic environment. People filed complaints but nothing was done about it. The working environment was really toxic and that has been called out too. Your video is the best one I have seen, you named the right names, you have the proof. It would be better if you blacked out the @ part and put the names of the people that sent you the emails. They are all involved. Everything is set up. Oli the producer you named would be Oli Head. Also involved that haven't been named yet are Mark Sidaway who was called out for sexual abuse on twitter by @yogajaykay and that wasn't dealt with either. Louis team were the absolute worst, they made the environment just as toxic. They worked him up before he went out there. That would be partly Anna Cash (annacashmakeup and several other accounts) who was sleeping with Sidaway and Caroline Mactaggart (carolinemactaggartstylist). Caroline was forced on Louis who used to complain about her on and off and later Sharon O., her daughter Kinvara Mactaggart was an associate producer there and was involved in settling people like you up and SURPRISE! Kinvara is living with Tom Gorst, son of Sylvia Coleman who was the woman from Sony that you would have seen. See how this works now? It's all interconnected. All neoptism to get up to the top jobs. All a bunch of rotten people who don't care about anything except themselves and the fame they can get for themselves. Toxic to work with. They used to work themselves up drinking in the dressing room laughing at the contestants and talking about how awful they were. The bully seed with Misha B is an example of that. They were talking about that sitting there laughing like she wasn't a real person and totally innocent of their claims. Setting people like you up was second nature, they were doing it backstage already. Check out Anna Cash's page on Facebook to get the photos for proof that they are all connected because these people do nothing to hide it. I am not sure that Gary Barlow was in on the whole thing willingly. He was making waves and had several arguments backstage that season as well as walking off the stage when Richard Holloway interfered with the show during filming to keep Rylan for the shock value. The whole thing is so toxic I can't begin to describe it. I feel horrible for what happened to you. Amelia Brown is now in charge at Thames but was in on the whole setup of contestants so they will just say they are "looking in to it" if you try to go to them. 100% responsible for the mental anguish caused to so many people. This whole thing needs to come out in the press. The people involved need to be named and exposed and even if most of them have moved on to other shows they need to be stopped from doing damage to more people. Ian Royce the warm-up guy has been called out on twitter for sexual abuse. These people all have twitter, instagram, they should be tagged along with your video and made to explain why they thought people's lives were worth nothing but ratings. It's abuse and it's mentally damaging. There is no duty of care backstage because that is where the abuse starts with that group and a few others that work there screaming at anyone that interferes. There is always booze there, the crew I named into the alcohol and drunk on the job and other things flow freely there too. It was a clique and they ran the whole thing. Nigel Hall from SYCO was married to Shu Green at ITV so there was no help there. Nigel Hall has a home next door to Holloway and said stuff about him at the same time. Everyone is out for themselves and to make the show as controversial as possible. If anyone speaks up about any of these people they get punished or worse. You feel like you will be black listed in the industry if you go against them because they have a choke hold on the show. Please continue with your part 2. Investigate all of this and more and make a part 3 even. The media need to get involved because there are real people being hurt with this scripted pack of lies. The people involved need to be held responsible instead of what they did to Misha B and others saying it is being looked into and a fake statement from Thames, SYCO, and ITV issued. Jimmy Savile was exposed, this needs to be too. It is much deeper than what they did to you, in a way you should be thankful you never got further in the show because the abuse, the NDAs, the things that happened in the supposedly haunted contestant house, the sleeping with people to get an advantage on the show, the sexual abuse that has been covered up, it all needs to come out. I am really glad you have been able to put this video together, your mental health is the most important thing. Your career and your life has been affected. You are an amazing singer and an amazing strong person. Don't let anything get in your way to tell the truth. Anything else you need to know or need help with there are so many people wanting to tell their story and I am here to support you.

@@leunamreyo3663 I know she's telling the truth from intuition alone. Her body language seems right and her story has been consistent from the start. As well as that I've seen several comments from people claiming to have been in the audience that day who say that the audience are instructed to be quiet whilst judges are talking which supports Zoes claims that the audience cheering as the judges berated her was an editing trick to manipulate the audience at home giving the impression that the audience were against her. Even if all those people are lying I have personal experience with reality TV after going on Jeremy Kyle twice.

All a judge would need to do is watch her audition video to see she was given the opportunity to sing Emiles Sande's Next To Me and ask her who told her to bring a non Pink song and her case would be dismissed so fast. Hopefully, she'd be required to pay the defendant's lawyer fees, issue an apology, and get counseling. I'm telling you the XFactor would LOVE it if she sued them to put an end to this mess as a defendant than be seen as a bully to the obvious mentally ill. The reason she hasn't sued is because she has no case. With this going viral and getting more popular by the day because of tiktok, she might be inching closer to pushing Xfactors legal hand. Thread lightly, girl. The evidence does not back you up. At all.

Dear Zoe! Thank you so much for posting all this.

Hearing you talk here, I now understand that was exactly what they wanted to get out of you. They analysed your story and personality, and this is what they came up with. This is such an eye opener. The lady with the water bottle is such an interesting detail in your story btw … she tried her best to give you hints, given that she of course wasn’t allowed to explain to you why.

People r so wrong who do this I feel for u guys xx ❤️💜❤️💜

I agree with you on the demot personality. I went as a audience to x factor a few years ago and demot was rude, we wanted to say hi as he walked past and he put his head down as if he was on the phone on purpose to not acknowledge us and as soon as he past he was laughing. Came across arrogant

[@Liam3015]

I knew there was some manipulation because my cousin auditioned that same year as her and she said they all got told who was going to make the TV auditions and who wasn't, also, a friend of mine has auditioned a number of times and also not got any further than that but having studied the industry twice in two separate modules, one in College and one in University, having seen the way they piss people about, I'm not surprised.

Why is no one talking about her glow-up, she looks GORGEOUS!!!, especially her hair!! Edit : when I saw her on the Xfactor, I felt so sorry for her... because you could see she wanted to explain something and never got the opportunity to🙁anyways I'm glad she's moved on to better things

[@KristinaMaione]

This actually made me so upset that a program would do this to a human being, to damage their mental health and well being and humiliate them in front of the whole world with no repercussions feels so wrong. I really wanna make a lil commentary video about this on my channel and help share it further, I hope that's okay! More people need to hear that this happened, the original video I saw on X factor has 18 million views, so that means that TRUE story should have even more! No one deserves to have this happen to them and I am sending you so much love and healing!

Wow, this is heartbreaking, I feel so sorry for you and I think you and many others deserve the biggest apology! Thank you for uncovering the truth of ‘reality’ shows and what celebrities are like behind closed doors. ❤️

"they were confused as to why we were there so early" -- they wanted you to be mentally fatigued by waking up so early, and frustrated at having waited around so long -- makes you more likely to yell on stage. Cults use this technique to brainwash followers. The same logic applies to keeping you away from food and drink btw.

@@johnnymo4000 boi. be more considerate. these aren’t luxury items we are talking abt here, eating and drinking is necessary to survive, so is sleep.

[@EIizabethGrace]

@@johnnymo4000 These things aren’t meant to set you off themselves. They’re just used, generally alongside a mixture of stress and abuse of various other kinds, to make you more vulnerable. All sorts of manipulation (brainwashing, scamming, eliciting a reaction...) benefit from the target being consistently exposed to this sort of stressors.

@@johnnymo4000 Dude, you need to eat well and get good sleep before an audition. They were purposefully depriving her of that and also weakening her mental state to make her more likely to break and suit their storyline, as she said.

the fact that they purposely physically and emotionally drained you before your performance just to get a bigger reaction is just disgusting.

[@babykyee]

Right this is so sickening. They literally tore her down, set her up, and humiliated her, made her suicidal just for footage and content. And what makes it worse is that she said she been bullied growing up and they go and do the same thing to her all over again😖💔

[@isynielsen2716]

It’s literally what cult leaders do, they make sure their followers are sleep deprived and overworked and emotionally drained and just strung out. That way they have either less resistance or bigger reactions, to put themselves in a better light. It’s all manipulation and literal abuse and it’s disgusting

The X factor has always been a setup. Who wins, who loses. Its their decision, not yours. If they wanted a stupid act to win, they'd make it happen. You deserve every credit for trying. 😊😊

[@reynardb9541]

When she said she couldn’t bear to be touched even, by her dad, after that and her saying “my skin felt like it was on fire” and that’s exactly what I felt after I had a traumatic experience. She was in full panic. What happened to her was TRULY DISGUSTING. It felt wrong. It felt gross. It felt bad. And after being used like that, her trust betrayed, and her hopes crushed, that’s an incredibly APPROPRIATE REACTION! I’m no lawyer, but I’m seriously curious if this would be considered defamation or emotional damage. Because this wasn’t just “the judges were mean to me” this is “the judges coerced, staged, and edited my words and actions to make me look/ display me as a dislikable person”. And that it TRULY VILE.

[@anonymousanon9941]

You cannot sue the X Factor as if you are on the show, you must agree to let them show you in any way that they want. So you can't sue them for defamation. I'm not sure if, like other reality shows, the X Factor has anything about confirming you are able to undergo emotional challenges or are in good mental health. If it doesn't, she might have a chance. Not a lawyer, but it might be something she could do.
