It's recently been reported that X-Factor judge Cheryl Cole has been fired from X Factor USA.
It's still unclear who exactly fired her and why, though many are saying it was the work of Simon Cowell.
Now the hollywood reporter tells us that Freemantle, the production company behind the show, has not officially fired Cheryl and is requesting she apply for a U.S. visa so she can still be on the show.
It appears that they would have been in breach of her contract and they don't want to have to pay her unless she works. All I can say is poor Cheryl. She's being thrown around like a rag doll in the public eye and it's just not right.
