Cheryl Fernandez-Versini has hit out at the current singers wearing racier outfits, blaming ‘men behind the scenes’ for encouraging them to sexualise themselves.
In an interview with the Sunday Telegraph’s Stella magazine, the X-Factor judge said:
“The music industry is dominated by men behind the scenes. And older men, too. I mean, sexy and all that is great to an extent, but you shouldn’t have to sexualise yourself to be selling music.”
Cheryl admitted that despite wearing some scanty outfits during her Girls Aloud days, the singer feels she never crossed the boundary from fun to overtly-sexual:
“It was fun, it was quirky, it wasn’t trying to be sexual. I would never do something I didn’t want to do, or get told that’s the ‘lane’ to be in at the moment. The lane. Everyone is competing in the same lane. F**k off, I’d rather be in my own lane.”
The Call My Name singer’s husband recently caused a storm online after ranting that his wife’s music was being ignored by her record label.
Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini lashed out at radio stations and his wife Cheryl’s record label for not supporting her latest single.
The French man took to Instagram complaining that her latest single Only Human has not been getting the airtime it deserves and that chiefs at Universal are not “moving their a*ses” to fix the situation.
