The problem is, too many workplaces would happily watch half of their most talented employees leave, rather than hold one toxic member of their leadership team accountable.
Zara Larsson has more of a backbone than many American celebrities cause she could literally have her VISA revoked/denied for speaking up against the US government so loudly and yet she doesn’t care. And that’s why I love her so much. She has never lost her humanity to fame
Zara Larsson defends her story saying she loves criminals while condemning ICE:
“People in my DM are like "aahhhh criminals?!?!?!?" Girl YES, heavy on that 😛😛 shit, the reason why my sweet, loving, kind, caring, compassionate, smart, generous, talented, thoughtful man can't come to the US - AT ALL - to visit me ever since we got together almost 6 years ago is because he has a criminal record. Guess for what! Weed! Hahahahaha like?? Who gives a fucking fuck?!? Actually, correction! He USED to have a record. It's been so long since he smoked that spliff that it's officially gone from his name and yet he still can't get in. We spend months and months apart every year because of a little spliff over 6 years ago. I'm not saying it should be legal... wait... yes I am - but that's another conversation. I'm just saying there's thousands and thousands of people who go to jail and prison over none violent crimes like drugs, mostly black and brown people because of Ronald Reagan being racist in the 80s and fucking up communities. Idk about yall but l'd rather have someone smoking crack on my couch than a fucking ICE agent ewwwwwwwww. They're criminals too. Killing, kidnapping, violent, hateful ones.”
MY REBUTTAL TO SIMON COWELL’S ROLLING STONE STATEMENT
I am writing in response to Simon Cowell’s recent remarks in Rolling Stone, in which he references the tragic loss of my friend and fellow 2010 XFactor contestant Liam Payne and reflects on his time overseeing the management of One Direction. While he expresses personal sadness and regret, his statements present a distorted and incomplete account of the reality experienced by many of us who were held via contract under his structures.
It is important, ethically, legally, and journalistically — that a fuller picture is acknowledged.
When Liam passed away, the entire world saw my public reaction. It was not a reaction to fame, or grief alone, or the pressures of the music industry in general; it was a reaction rooted in first-hand experience of the duty-of-care failures, coercive pressures, and systemic harms that were present during our time under Cowell’s management umbrella.
In 2010 none of us were in a position to speak out. We were young, isolated, tightly contracted, bound by NDAs, and operating in what can only be described as survival mode. The power imbalance was absolute. The conditions were psychologically suffocating. We lacked the language, the support, and the legal understanding to identify, let alone challenge, what we now know were serious safeguarding and ethical breaches.
For Cowell to publicly present himself today as reflective, concerned, and wounded — while omitting the systemic pressures, relentless work schedules, emotional manipulation, public shaming structures, and unregulated high-stress environments that defined our experiences — is not merely selective storytelling. It is an erasure of the very conditions that contributed to the mental health struggles of multiple artists, including Liam, myself, and many others.
In the Rolling Stone interview, Cowell asks:
“Could I have done anything more?”
This question only holds weight when paired with genuine acknowledgement of what was done — or not done — at the time.
What happened to us was structural, patterned, and deeply harmful.
To suggest otherwise is to reframe tragedy as unexpected, when in truth many of us were shouting — privately, then publicly — about the same mechanisms of harm long before the world lost Liam.
Cowell also states:
“Music is not everything. Don’t let it run your life… Find something else you are passionate about.”
A sentiment that would have been meaningful had the environment he controlled not been one where music, ratings, public humiliation, and pressure were weaponised in ways that eroded our mental health. During our contracted years, none of us were ever given the space to “find something else.” We were given one option: obey, perform, survive.
To invoke hindsight wisdom now — without acknowledging the realities we were subjected to — further entrenches the myth that these tragedies occurred in a vacuum rather than within systems he built, profited from, and continues to control.
For any outlet quoting Cowell’s remarks, I respectfully ask that you include:
- the perspective of those who lived the consequences of his production culture,
- the context of documented duty-of-care concerns,
- and the fact that multiple participants — including myself — have suffered long-term psychological harm and have raised legal challenges regarding these very issues.
This is not about blame for the sake of blame.
This is about accuracy, responsibility, and the urgent need for accountability and safeguarding reform in an industry that continues to reshape itself publicly while leaving its internal harms untouched.
If Cowell wishes to have public conversations about loss, duty, and the “what ifs,” then it is vital those conversations include the full truth, not the curated fragments currently being offered.
I am available for comment, clarification, or interview should you require further insight.
Sincerely,
Katie
