Simon: ‘Cheryl And I Still Aren’t Speaking’

“She is still grumpy with me,” the X Factor boss admitted…

Simon Cowell has spoken about his ongoing feud with Cheryl Coleand admitted she still refuses to take his calls, though they have texted.

“I am sorry the way it worked out as we were incredibly close,” he told Life & Style magazine, adding that he removed her from The X Factor USApanel because he wanted her back on the UK series. “Trying to get her to understand what I did, it was never meant to be negative. It was a decision I thought was the right one, and I think she is more comfortable in England than I saw her here.”

But SiCo admitted he should have given Chezza more time to settle in across the pond before he replaced her with Nicole Scherzinger. “Maybe I didn't give her enough time, and you have to be in the moment,” he said.

The music mogul confirmed reports that he had a change of heart and offered the Geordie her job back on the US panel, but she refused. "She was offered a chance to come back to America, but for certain reasons decided not to. I guess that's what happens when you make reality TV - real things happen."
“She is still grumpy with me,” Simon conceded. “I can look myself in the mirror and say I wasn't being mean. I offered her a lot of money to go back as a hero, and it didn't work out.”

But he still has faith that they’ll be friends again. “I think when you have the history we have, you'll eventually work it out,”he added.
