Jedward, the X Factor icons, have hit back at Louis Walsh, accusing him of tarnishing their reputation. The twins, John and Edward Grimes, rose to fame on the reality competition in 2009 and were managed by Louis until 2013. Their feud has been ongoing, with the Eurovision stars criticizing Louis for calling them the “most embarrassing thing” to happen to him. In 2021, they slammed him again, calling him a “cold-hearted two-faced b***h” who only wants acts to manage to make himself look good.
Following Louis’ vicious rant on Celebrity Big Brother, where he labeled Jedward as “vile,” the duo addressed their difficult relationship with the music manager. They stated that Louis is known for being “b***hy and gossiping about everyone.” They also revealed that they are not alone in their negative experiences with him, as many other acts have had similar encounters. Despite the negativity, Jedward expressed gratitude for the overwhelming love and support they received from the public.
Louis had made harsh comments about working with Jedward during his time on the ITV reality program. He called them “vile” but also acknowledged that they were great and earned him a significant amount of money. However, Jedward found his words to be “outrageously untrue” and uncalled for.
In light of Rebecca Ferguson and others speaking out about their negative experiences in the television talent show and pop music industry, Jedward called for a complete overhaul. They believe that people in powerful positions should be investigated and held responsible to prevent similar mistakes from happening again. They emphasized the need for more clarity and the establishment of organizations to protect the well-being and talent of artists.
Jedward have opened up about the pressure they felt to conform to a certain image during their rise to fame in the early 2010s. The twins, who gained fame at the age of 17, revealed that they found themselves in situations that were not acceptable at the time. However, they now feel more comfortable in themselves and are focused on pursuing their own projects, including setting up a podcast and dreaming of having their own talk show. They also expressed their desire to give a voice to those who have been silenced or need support.
The duo also called out their former manager, Louis Walsh, over his alleged past comments and behavior. They hired their late mother as their manager in 2013, severing ties with Louis. After Louis branded them “vile” on Celebrity Big Brother, Jedward criticized him for his lack of support when their mother passed away from cancer in 2019. They described Louis as a “cold-hearted b*****d” and accused him of being an “evil manipulator” who tried to take advantage of them. They also mentioned that other artists, such as Girls Aloud and Ronan Keating, dislike Louis and warned future acts about his true nature.
In a recent St. Patrick’s Day message, Jedward referred to Louis as a “snake” and expressed their hope that St. Patrick would “slay” him. They made it clear that they will not allow their character to be tarnished and believe that justice will be served.
