Cheryl Cole settles X Factor USA lawsuit, but we still don’t know how much money she got

Cheryl Cole has settled her lawsuit against the X Factor USA.

But it’s still not known how much money she got. But we’re guessing it was A LOT!
Chezza filed the lawsuit against X Factor USA’s production company Blue Orbit in December last year after she was famously dropped from the Fox show just weeks after beginning her job. Chezza’s claiming she lost earnings of £1.25m plus other costs.

The Call My Name star’s original contract had a pay-or-play clause for two seasons, meaning that she would be compensated financially even if she was dropped from the show.

While she was paid for the first season, she asked to be compensated for the second as well as expenses for wardrobe, housing and living expenses.

Chezza, 30, asked for $2.3m (£1.4m) in her original lawsuit. But the case has now been settled out of court with Chezza receiving an undisclosed sum, BBC News reports.

Her spokesperson did not comment on details of the settlement but confirmed: "Cheryl's dispute with Blue Orbit has been resolved amicably."
