Is That You Brooklyn Blue?
Come on, X Factor really? Are you serious? You are going to kick someone off the show because they did a couple porn films? Are you kidding me? Alas, it’s true. Becky Constantinou, who was once known as Brooklyn Blue, was kicked off the show once the producers found out about her porn past.
Constantinou—who apparently gave a great audition for the producers—was placed on the shortlist to audition in front of Simon Cowell, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, Rita Ora and Nick Grimsha at London's Wembley Arena. When Constantinou arrived for her audition a security guard recognized her as Brooklyn Blue. A few days later, Constantinou received a phone call from producers asking about her past and when she finally admitted she had worked in the adult industry, she was kicked off the show. Constantiou stated:
'I know X Factor is a family show, but porn shouldn't define who I am. I was never going to put on a sex show for Simon.'
Shame on you X Factor, shame on you. The producers and Simon Cowell can claim all they want that it’s a family show, but let’s not pretend the music industry doesn’t use sex to help sell records. You can’t use sex to push a product and then be outraged at someone who worked in the adult industry. That’s a double standard and everyone involved in the show should be ashamed of themselves.
Hopefully someone will give Constantinou a chance. If her voice was good enough to get her shortlisted, then she might have some talent. Surely there has to be a record producer or someone who isn’t as judgemental as Simon Cowell and his stupid haircut.
