Nicole Scherzinger On Simon Cowell Stereotyping Her: 'He Knew How To Push My Buttons'

Nicole Scherzinger shows off the backside of her t-shirt while leaving the Huffington Post Live offices in New York City on Friday afternoon (May 22).

The 37-year-old singer sat down and opened up about the time that Simon Cowell stereotyped her and a contestant on X Factor UK.

“[Simon] knew how to push my buttons, he always did, but it was kind of insulting what he was doing. He was categorizing me and stereotyping me. It really upset me and, I don’t know, the beast came out of me,” Nicole shared.

She added, “He just pissed me off then, and I just had to put him in his place and teach him and educate him. You have to do that sometimes with people, educate people.”
