• 'X Factor' 2013 Contestant Sues, Alleging Stage Rigged for Failure

    Former 'X Factor' "contestant" Sally Hessnice has filed a lawsuit against the producers, alleging that they both set her up for failure and later edited video of her audition to make her appear less enticing as a performer. As a professional vocalist away from television, Hessnice has alleged that the embarrassment that was her 2013 audition has resulted in her "reputation as a professional singer has been irreparably tarnished." And it's not just because Simon Cowell was more cutting than usual.
