AceShowbiz - Natalia Kills has spoken up about her dismissal from New Zealand's "The X Factor" over her bullying comments. Speaking to MTV Australia, the British singer/actress said, "I feel like everyone needs to put the idea of it being a manufactured conspiracy theory behind them, there's really nothing to it. I love my husband with all of my heart, we'll stick together no matter what."
The "conspiracy theory" she mentioned may refer to speculation that Kills and her husband Willy Moon's mean act on the singing competition series was a publicity campaign planned to boost their profiles.
She added, "There are many sides to this story and I am not about to get an entire industry in trouble that has been going on for years and years entertaining the masses, so thank you absolutely everyone for your support. Thank you to all of my fans. Thank you to my husband. ... I would like to wish Joe Irvine and my boys category all the best on the show."
Kills and Moon, who were judges on the reality show, were fired from the show after berating the show's contestant Joe Irvine. They accused him of copying Moon's signature style with a suit and slicked-back hair.
"I'm just going to state the obvious: we have a doppelganger in our midst," Kills commented. "As an artist who respects creative integrity and intellectual property, I am disgusted at how much you have copied my husband.... You're a laughing stock. It's cheesy. It's disgusting. I personally found it absolutely artistically atrocious. I am embarrassed to be sitting here in your presence having to even dignify you with an answer of my opinion."
Irvine has since received many support from people, including Kiwi singer Lorde as well as British artists Ed Sheeran and Ellie Goulding.
There were rumors that Kills was dropped from her label following the "X Factor" controversy, but a source told Perez Hilton, "Cherrytree Management as well as Natalia and Interscope parted ways months ago."
