Simon Cowell called Demi Lovato an “obnoxious brat” at the Teen Choice Awards on Sunday.
The music mogul jokingly slated the blonde XFactor judge at the ceremony.
According to The Telegraph Simon said: “[She is] annoying, obnoxious, disruptive, gobby, irritating, bad manners, not great taste – did I say irritating? Yes? Annoying, very annoying. She’s a brat. Um, I could go on for hours, but that’s what makes her special, and I really do love her, a bit. Have a great night, wish I was there, but no one invited me,” Simon joked.
Former Disney star Demi cheekily responded to her boss.
“He’s just old. He isn’t used to women in this century being able to say what they want,” she joked.
Lovato hosted the Teen Choice awards alongside Kevin McHale and picked up a few gongs for best summer star and best Twitter star.
Fellow judge Britney Spears was quick to congratulate her friend on Twitter.
“Congrats on your wins at the Teen Choice Awards tonight @ddlovato! Let’s celebrate when you get to Miami :),” she wrote.
