Simon Fuller's Lawyer: 'Cowell does not understand lawsuit vs Fox and Freemantle'

Yesterday, the Hollywood Reporter published an article where X Factor judge Simon Cowell argues that "you can't give someone an executive producer's title if they didn't executive produce the show" with regards to Simon Fuller's lawsuit against Fox and Freemantle.

Simon Fuller's lawyer has fired back saying that Cowell doesn't understand the legal documents and should stick to reading scripts.

From THR:

“It’s like me saying I want to be executive producer on The Voice or Project Runway,” Cowell said.

But Dale Kinsella, Fuller's lead lawyer in the multi-million dollar lawsuit against Fox and producer Fremantle, believes Cowell should keep his legal opinions to himself.

“Mr. Cowell would be better served reading scripts than legal pleadings and documents he clearly does not understand,” Kinsella tells us.

Of course, the feud between the two Simons goes back years. Fuller sued Cowell shortly after X Factor first appeared on British television in 2004, leading to the settlement that Fuller now claims granted him the right to a rich fee and credit on the U.S. X Factor.
