Cheryl Fernandez-Versini was left red-faced after her husband Jean-Bernard publicly slated her record label two weeks ago for not promoting her latest single, Only Human.
Then, just days later, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini faced more humiliation.
Her pal and mentor Simon Cowell – who she famously fell out with in 2011 when she was axed from the US X Factor – failed to support her publicly.
Simon said in an interview: “I know her [Cheryl’s] record label and I know her management and they work very, very hard. I’ve read this kind of stuff in the past and [from experience] it’s probably best kept within a meeting room.”
Sources close to the 31-year-old singer reveal she’s hurt Simon chose to speak out and feels she no longer has any friends in the music industry.
A source says: “Cheryl is feeling isolated at the moment, she feels she has no supporters in the music industry. She’s been stressed about her singing career and feels very let down.
