The girl who called Cowell a ‘butt’
MANILA, Philippines—Kristy Lee Cook goes down in “American Idol” history as the only finalist to have called Simon Cowell “a butt” on national television.
“He has certain remarks that are not very nice [and] over time, these build up,” said last week’s “Idol” casualty during an exclusive phone interview hosted by Star World.
Her choice of words, explained Cook, “was, like, telling him [that] he can be a little butt sometimes, a goofy little brat… I figured I’d just say ‘butt.’”
The 24-year-old definitely knows how it feels to be on the receiving end of harsh criticism. To date, she holds the title of being in the “bottom three” this season more often than any other finalist.
“That was tough... but I… got a little tougher each time,” said Cook. “I learned to control the emotions... ”
Cook takes comfort in having outlived Cowell’s prediction that she would be first to leave the Top 10.
“Simon was skeptical because I started out weak,” she said.
