Cheryl Cole to Face Simon Cowell in US X Factor Lawsuit

According to UK’s The Mirror, fired X Factor judge, Cheryl Cole, refuses to settle her lawsuit against the show’s producers.

Cheryl Cole will finally come face to face in court with Simon Cowell as she steps up her £3.5million compensation claim over her humiliating US X Factor sacking.

The 30-year-old singer has refused point blank to settle with makers Blue Orbit and instructed lawyers to quiz the music mogul along with judges LA Reid and Paula Abdul on how much they earn.

A Los Angeles judge gave her the green light to see the trio’s contracts. She will call Cowell, 53, as key witness.

But fans hoping for a public airing of The X Factor chief’s wages are in for a blow – Judge Abraham Klein ruled contract details must be kept secret.

Cheryl’s deals will also be kept from the public – along with payout details if she wins the case.

I guess Simon and Cheryl rekindling their friendship won’t affect the lawsuit proceeding.
