Former "Britain's Got Talent" contestant Emma Amelia Pearl Czikai is suing Simon Cowell for almost £2.5 million ($3.8 million), claiming she was humiliated and degraded on the ITV competition show.
Czikai first lodged her complaint of unfairness and discrimination with the employment tribunal in January.
At Wednesday's pre-trial review at the central London tribunal court, Czikai, who is representing herself, accused "Britain's Got Talent"and its judges of "exploitation, humiliation, degradation and barbarism." She also leveled a claim of disability discrimination because the talent show had not made adjustments for her such as lowering the backing music and microphone levels.
