She told Insider she shared the story because over-the-top auditions were a staple of her childhood. A 19-year-old TikTok user shared Alexander's side of the story and it quickly went viralĪlexander's experience has now gone viral again after a 19-year-old TikTok user called Devon Rae told her story of being "the most manipulated contestant in 'X Factor' history." Since November 21, her TikTok has received 3.5 million likes, and Alexander's duet with the original has been viewed over 25 million times. Ofcom states it is not its role to adjudicate on these conflicts but "to determine whether there was any unfairness to the complainant in the programme as broadcast." And in this case, it determined in 2013, Alexander's audition was not edited unfairly. Looking back, Alexander said the show's staff had "bad intentions from the start." Previously, a UK broadcasting regulator investigated the claims and concluded Alexander 'was not unfairly portrayed in the programme'Ī representative for "The X Factor" did not comment on Alexander's allegations but pointed Insider towards a 2013 investigation by Ofcom, the UK's broadcasting regulator, that concluded Alexander "was not unfairly portrayed in the programme" since she was "given an opportunity to perform a second song."
She said she believes the way she was treated was an effort to make her feel "as uncomfortable, uneasy, and scared as possible." According to Alexander, she said this to the production staff, but that is not apparent in the broadcast footage.Īlexander told Insider that she was also told to arrive at the studio at 6 a.m., only to find nobody there, and then stayed in the waiting room for hours.
Alexander is visibly upset on hearing this news and pleads "You told me to sing a Pink song," which the judges deny.
