Simon Cowell discusses ex’s attack
Simon Cowell went to his frenemy Ryan Seacrest’s radio show today to talk about his ex’s attack after the “American Idol” finale Tuesday night. Idol fan Janice Thibodeaux approached Seymour and allegedly tried to choke her.
Cowell said his initial reaction was that it must be a joke.
“She called me and, yeah, she was attacked outside,” he said of Seymour. “Literally, a frenzied attack. Nearly strangled.”
Thibodeaux, 33, was charged with misdemeanor counts of battery and assault Thursday. She’s being held on $52,703 bail and claims she attacked Seymour because of Cowell’s behavior toward Paula Abdul, making this the second crazy person to cause harm to themselves or others.
Cowell doesn’t think Paula is the reason, however.
“Naturally I assumed it was somebody who was jealous,” he said. Cowell said he had never met Thibodeaux.
“I don’t know, it was just some crazy girl. She’s locked up.”
As for Seymour, Cowell said, “It was bad. I really, really felt sorry for her.
“You know what? I was there for her, Ryan. That’s the important thing.”
Thibodeaux is facing a maximum sentence of 18 months in jail and $12,000 in fines if convicted on both charges.
