She was mocked by Simon Cowell when she auditioned for X Factor USA, but singer Sally Hessnice is determined to have the last laugh.
The nurse, whose rendition of Whitney Houston’s The Greatest Love Of All left the judges horrified, claims that her 2013 performance was ‘altered’ to make her sound ‘screechy’.
She’s launched legal proceedings against Cowell’s production companies FremantleMedia, Syco and Blue Orbit and is asking for $2 million in damages, according to a report by Deadline.
The bubbly blonde says that her ‘reputation as a professional singer has been irreparably tarnished’ due to her appearance on the talent show.
