All this story, annoying.. Simon try to tell she wasn't good or she was unhappy.. Not true.. For months ago, Simon try to have Cheryl on this show, but some of the producers, especially one: Rupert, don't like her.. Simon win against him, but they check all the little bad things to arrived to axe Cheryl, they tell a lot of stories and rumor. Anyways, people believe this in Usa because they don't know her. But after all, she been a victim and they played in her back. I think she did the right things by accepting the money and say bye.. really will you want to work with producers who expected you to go? This is why she don't call back when they asked her to return.. She wants to make it in the US, but she dont want to return in this kinda atmosphere.. I understand her. Also, in the Uk X Factor, she let the place to Kelly Rowland and Tulisa, because she have big heart and she send them flowers.. If she wants to return on the Us or Uk show, she have the possibilities to do it if she wants! but she choose to pass on other things.. way better, and way bigger.! I don't like this article because it looks like she have the blame on her, but it is false, she do a lot for this show.. This is what America will missing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoXAtl6G9vM&feature=player_embedded She is a great judge, and no matter what they said by telling the press she was unhappy or she have an accent, this is not true!
