Nicole Scherzinger has branded Simon Cowell "crazy" after he backed axed 'X Factor' group Miss Dynamix over Hannah Barrett - a contender in Nicole's group.
The show judge took to her Twitter account to hit back at the music mogul after he had previously used the social media site to state his confusion at the elimination.
Simon tweeted: "I would have kept miss dynamix. I don't get that decision.(sic)"
But a furious Nicole responded: "I have never had a twitter war, please don't make me start one now @SimonCowell! You R crazy, my girl @HannahBMusic is a STAR...and w/SOUL!! (sic)"
The brunette stunner then emphasised her point by retweeting seven of her followers' messages of support for Hannah.
Despite being booted off the show, the girl group - Rielle Carrington, SeSe Foster and Jeanette Akua - got a "confidence boost" from Simon's comment.
SeSe exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "When Rielle told us about the tweet she needed to double check and see if it was verified because there are loads of Simon Cowell fakes."
Rielle said: "I screamed, 'Girls look at this!' "
Jeanette added: "That made my morning! It's a confidence boost and just shows us that a mogul as big as Simon sees the potential in us. This is Simon Cowell, come on."
