Jeane Mowatt, the publicist for X Factor New Zealand, spoke out about Kills outburst after the taping.
“During a long day of filming, The X Factor NZ judge Natalia Kills expressed frustration at the behavior of some sections of the audience. Her words were not well chosen, and both Natalia and TV3 apologize for any offense caused.”
Kills is a British singer, who was signed by will.i.am to his record label after he saw her talent. She has toured with Bruno Mars and Katy Perry. There are reports that the singer has now worked with Madonna on eight songs.
Natalia was selected for the current X Factor New Zealand panel back in October. She could not contain her excitement at that time. Kills was not alone either. TV3 also tapped her husband, Willy Moon, to join the panel of the series. Natalia shared her excitement over joining the panel of X Factor New Zealand, according to Scoop News:
“The new season of The X Factor NZ is going to be wild! I’m delighted to be a judge and mentor to other aspiring new artists. New Zealand is full of undiscovered talent, and I’m excited to find a diamond in the rough. Last year when I released my album Trouble I had the time of my life in Auckland. I never knew there was such a dynamic creative scene there. Besides, ever since I married Willy Moon I’ve had a burning curiosity to find out more about where he’s from and what makes Kiwis so irresistible!”
This was not the only trouble X Factor New Zealand had this week. A fan accused the series of rigging the results of the Dec. 1 show. Brad Fisher was in the audience during the taping of the show, and he saw the judges giving hand signals after each performance.
X Factor has become popular around the world. The X Factor USA did not become a hit when it aired on Fox, but the series is still extremely popular in the UK and in other countries. The Inquisitr reported recently on the latest news about Mel B. The former Spice girl was a judge on the X Factor UK. She spoke about rumors regarding her sexuality in a new interview, and she admitted to a same-sex relationship.
