Natalia Kills Apologises For Controversial X Factor New Zealand Comments
Drama, drama, call your mama! Natalia Kills has finally apologised for her comments on New Zealand's very own version of The X Factor!
Unless you've been living under a rock for the past week, we're sure that you'll already have heard that Natalia Kills and Willy Moon were fired from The X Factor New Zealand earlier this week. The newlywed couple lost their roles as judges on the programme after being too harsh whilst critiquing contestant Joe Irvine's performance.As massive fans of Natalia Kills from the very start, we were disappointed with her comments. She definitely took things too far and we completely understand why producers decided to remove her as a judge from the show.
Having said that, we'd certainly say that the reaction online has been worse. Whilst we can't defend Natalia's original comments on the show, we do feel that the situation has been blown completely out of proportion.
Users have been sending horrible messages and death wishes to Natalia since the whole fiasco happened and it's really quite disgusting. Some of the tweets we've read are far worse than anything Natalia expressed.
Posting her apology on Instagram, Natalia said: "At last! I am relieved that I'm finally able to break the silence... Xoxo. ❤️ Once again Joe Irvine, I apologize for the madness + I wish you success + happiness in the competition!"
"A lot goes on behind-the-scenes of a reality show and what you see isn't always the whole story. The show brought me on to bring my passion, dramatic expression and perspective. I was encouraged to be outspoken and things got out of hand. Joe, I hope you can forgive me and I wish you all the best!"
Despite apologising, Natalia is still being inundated with spiteful messages. Unfortunately, we live in a world where people don't think about the impact of their words online. Cyberbullying isn't cool or clever.
Certain individuals seem to think that it's totally justified to send hate to celebrities. It's really not. They may be famous but they're still people and hateful tweets could affect them just as much as they'd affect you.
At the end of the day, Natalia is extremely talented and nothing's going to change that. She already has two incredible albums under her belt and not everyone gets the chance to write with pop legends like Madonna. Natalia made a mistake and she has since apologised so people need to move on. We, for one, will always love her music.
