    You absolutely deserve and apology for this. Everything you said 100% happened. There are several people who worked backstage that support you completely, had nothing to do with setting anyone up and weren't part of this whole conspiracy thing that happened to a lot of contestants and not just you. Everything was micro-managed about the show, everything was about the show, the show was lived and breathed by the people in charge of it. The three production companies, ITV not having much to do with the day to day operations, Thames/Fremantle that controlled absolutely everything and SYCO that was 100% involved in the whole thing. Just because Simon Cowell wasn't on that season didn't mean he wasn't managing and manipulating the whole thing. Richard Holloway was his hitman and would do anything Cowell wanted to get the show ahead of any competition and to create as much scandal as possible around it so everyone would be talking about it throughout the week and not just when it aired. The shock moments were all manipulated, over edited just like yours, heavily scripted, things were shot afterwards to get the right reactions, just like the "no baby no" was. There is nothing that wasn't manipulated backstage, it was a toxic environment. People filed complaints but nothing was done about it. The working environment was really toxic and that has been called out too. Your video is the best one I have seen, you named the right names, you have the proof. It would be better if you blacked out the @ part and put the names of the people that sent you the emails. They are all involved. Everything is set up. Oli the producer you named would be Oli Head. Also involved that haven't been named yet are Mark Sidaway who was called out for sexual abuse on twitter by @yogajaykay and that wasn't dealt with either. Louis team were the absolute worst, they made the environment just as toxic. They worked him up before he went out there. That would be partly Anna Cash (annacashmakeup and several other accounts) who was sleeping with Sidaway and Caroline Mactaggart (carolinemactaggartstylist). Caroline was forced on Louis who used to complain about her on and off and later Sharon O., her daughter Kinvara Mactaggart was an associate producer there and was involved in settling people like you up and SURPRISE! Kinvara is living with Tom Gorst, son of Sylvia Coleman who was the woman from Sony that you would have seen. See how this works now? It's all interconnected. All neoptism to get up to the top jobs. All a bunch of rotten people who don't care about anything except themselves and the fame they can get for themselves. Toxic to work with. They used to work themselves up drinking in the dressing room laughing at the contestants and talking about how awful they were. The bully seed with Misha B is an example of that. They were talking about that sitting there laughing like she wasn't a real person and totally innocent of their claims. Setting people like you up was second nature, they were doing it backstage already. Check out Anna Cash's page on Facebook to get the photos for proof that they are all connected because these people do nothing to hide it. I am not sure that Gary Barlow was in on the whole thing willingly. He was making waves and had several arguments backstage that season as well as walking off the stage when Richard Holloway interfered with the show during filming to keep Rylan for the shock value. The whole thing is so toxic I can't begin to describe it. I feel horrible for what happened to you. Amelia Brown is now in charge at Thames but was in on the whole setup of contestants so they will just say they are "looking in to it" if you try to go to them. 100% responsible for the mental anguish caused to so many people. This whole thing needs to come out in the press. The people involved need to be named and exposed and even if most of them have moved on to other shows they need to be stopped from doing damage to more people. Ian Royce the warm-up guy has been called out on twitter for sexual abuse. These people all have twitter, instagram, they should be tagged along with your video and made to explain why they thought people's lives were worth nothing but ratings. It's abuse and it's mentally damaging. There is no duty of care backstage because that is where the abuse starts with that group and a few others that work there screaming at anyone that interferes. There is always booze there, the crew I named into the alcohol and drunk on the job and other things flow freely there too. It was a clique and they ran the whole thing. Nigel Hall from SYCO was married to Shu Green at ITV so there was no help there. Nigel Hall has a home next door to Holloway and said stuff about him at the same time. Everyone is out for themselves and to make the show as controversial as possible. If anyone speaks up about any of these people they get punished or worse. You feel like you will be black listed in the industry if you go against them because they have a choke hold on the show. Please continue with your part 2. Investigate all of this and more and make a part 3 even. The media need to get involved because there are real people being hurt with this scripted pack of lies. The people involved need to be held responsible instead of what they did to Misha B and others saying it is being looked into and a fake statement from Thames, SYCO, and ITV issued. Jimmy Savile was exposed, this needs to be too. It is much deeper than what they did to you, in a way you should be thankful you never got further in the show because the abuse, the NDAs, the things that happened in the supposedly haunted contestant house, the sleeping with people to get an advantage on the show, the sexual abuse that has been covered up, it all needs to come out. I am really glad you have been able to put this video together, your mental health is the most important thing. Your career and your life has been affected. You are an amazing singer and an amazing strong person. Don't let anything get in your way to tell the truth. Anything else you need to know or need help with there are so many people wanting to tell their story and I am here to support you.

      Auditions are nerve-wracking ALL on their own, BUT, when you add the extra levels of toxicity in an environment like the X-Factor, it becomes an explosive "powder keg" of a situation. It's disgusting and manipulative what happened to her, but I am THOROUGHLY unsurprised.

    From the VERY first "You guys told me to sing a Pink song!" I KNEW they did you dirty. I auditioned for X-Factor USA, and it was so clear what was happening the entire time. Seeing your audition after that experience was shocking. I had my suspicions about what I was seeing, and the way they asked their questions, and when I saw yiur audition I was PISSED. The way your voice shook, you coukdnt doubt that you were telling the truth.

    It's so sad to hear such a story from the other end. When I was younger, my sister and I applied for the Dutch X Factor as a group. We were underdeveloped musically and there were many groups better than us, but because we were an ethnically interesting brother-sister duo were picked up by the producers and got way too far in the competition. All our false notes were cut out and I remember us feeling horrible for our fellow contesters who probably deserved it more. My heart goes out to you Zoe, in the end it's us musicians who need to support each other and not rely on these big commercial shitshows.

    Dear Zoe! Thank you so much for posting all this.

Hearing you talk here, I now understand that was exactly what they wanted to get out of you. They analysed your story and personality, and this is what they came up with. This is such an eye opener. The lady with the water bottle is such an interesting detail in your story btw … she tried her best to give you hints, given that she of course wasn’t allowed to explain to you why.

      I once had an audition for another ITV talent show, and in my audition (which was in a very large empty room) they asked for my backing track (on a CD) and put it in this tiny portable CD player then asked me to stand on the other side of the room. Without asking if I was ready, they pressed play. I could barely hear and missed my cue which threw me off. I asked to start again and they said no. 6 hour wait in a queue for that. Never auditioned for a “talent” show again.

      All a judge would need to do is watch her audition video to see she was given the opportunity to sing Emiles Sande's Next To Me and ask her who told her to bring a non Pink song and her case would be dismissed so fast. Hopefully, she'd be required to pay the defendant's lawyer fees, issue an apology, and get counseling. I'm telling you the XFactor would LOVE it if she sued them to put an end to this mess as a defendant than be seen as a bully to the obvious mentally ill. The reason she hasn't sued is because she has no case. With this going viral and getting more popular by the day because of tiktok, she might be inching closer to pushing Xfactors legal hand. Thread lightly, girl. The evidence does not back you up. At all.

    To be honest, I have never judged you. Ever since I heard you say: “You guys told me to sing a Pink song”, I knew you didn’t mean the judges but the production/editors/staff. But of course, in the heat of the moment and emotions saying something like that doesn’t come across how you want it to, especially not on TV because the team can edit you the way THEY want to. THEY can give you a certain image just the way they want. I am rooting for you, go live your best life now!❤️

      It seemed kind of odd when she stated that "You guys told me to sing a Pink song." It sounded as if something more was going on because Zoe seemed very frustrated. It is like when something really unfair happens and you are trying to find the words to state why you have been treated unfairly is wrong.

At BGT, they made the audience do a standing ovation, cheer and boo towards an empty stage before the first act was even on... they also filmed the judges doing shocked/surprised faces to an empty stage... it’s all a sham

    If Pink saw this, she'd probably get really pissed off... Also the fact that they turned off the stage monitors is a super shit move because when I was once at karaoke at a music festival on a tiny stage I couldn't hear myself singing at the slightest, and to have that happen to you in a huge auditorium filled with people... That had to have sucked so badly. And on top of everything they did to you to make you look bad and basically turn you into a laughing stock.
