There were rumors that producers of the show told Cheryl not to pick the Zimbabwean because she might be sent home because her visa to stay in the UK will run out. Turns out those rumors could be true as Gamu and her family have been ordered to leave the country or face deportation.
Reports came in today that Cheryl has been getting "death threats" for not picking the singer. One threat went like this:
"Every1 has a bullet for you. I've never felt like dis over xfactor until u told gambu she is not going to the live show. Dat cheryl was da biggest mistake of your life. U want to act innocent on tv like you don't know wat ur doing. But we all know how racist you are. Wat u have now done is f*** up every white girls lives who's silly mothers dat named der child cheryl. Cuz I'm just going to f***** bang drop dem and dey won't even know why. You are a hater. You can't sing 2 save your life. So to make yourself happy you want to get rid off all the good singers you know will make you look s***. Nobody wants to buy ur album."
The message, apparently sent from Tottenham in North London. Cheryl was warned not to visit the area because she would be "punched until she bleeds".
This is unbelievably ridiculous!! It's a TV Show. Why are people kicking up a fuss because someone didn't get through? Chances are, the people who are getting angry and sending threats wouldn't even vote for Gamu if she did get through to the live shows. It's sickening that Cheryl is being sent death threats and called a racist. She was married to Ashley Cole. She's hardly racist. I guess some people don't even know the meaning of the word. I also hate the fact that people say "That's it, I'm never watching the X Factor again!" Why lie? You know you are. Reading people's statuses when The X Factor was on, on Sunday, it was laughable and cringey how angry people were getting because some people didn't get through.
It's a TV Show!!! An Entertainment TV Show! Rant over. What do you think about all this?
