The Music Industry is FUCKED UP: Simon Cowell is a Pedophile
Simon Cowell is a very powerful man who has done a good job of cleaning up his muddy footprints behind him. This post is intended to highlight not only his own pedophilic allegations and habits, but the people he surrounds himself with and publicly supports who are much the same if not worse. Simon Cowell is a man among like-minded company, for all the wrong reasons.

The Buffet - told by Gavin Bain
Back in December 2024, Gavin Bain (former half of the rap/rock duo Silibil 'n Brains) went on The John Cooper Show to talk in-depth about his story "getting one over" on Sony. The original 2 videos (x) (x) that went around were just clips, with the full interview being locked behind a $9.99 Youtube Membership paywall. So, I took one for the team, and paid for 1 month of a membership to watch the whole thing.
Originally, I was going to transcribe the entire interview, but I quickly realized that is not only VERY hard, but very useless. The bits about Simon Cowell were brief and at the very end, the rest of the interview was about Gavin's personal story. I did, however, take notes on everything, so expect a post about Silibil 'n Brains soon, I guess.
Gavin explained how he, when he was still in Silibil 'n Brains, was invited to an industry afterparty that took place in a strip club. He mentioned earlier in the interview how all of these industry parties seemed to take place in strip clubs, for some reason. He ran into this guy who worked for Island Records, a record company Gavin had considered signing to but didn't, and the guy looked shocked to see Gavin there.
Apparently the afterparty was split into 2 sides of the venue, and Gavin, following people he recognized, had accidentally entered the wrong side. He had entered "the buffet." The Island Records guy asked Gavin "Who are you here with?" And Gavin said he was here with his duo-mate, to which Island Records guy said "Here-here? You're- you're gonna go to the buffet?" Gavin, taking that question literally, answered with "Why would I want to eat right now?"
That's when Gavin sees this boy he recognizes from around, a boy he knows is underage because he wasn't allowed to drink (this happened in the UK so the drinking age and age of adulthood are the same). The boy is in a lineup of other teenage girls and boys in very revealing clothing, none of the could have been older than 14-15 according to Gavin. Separate from the teenage lineup is a group of very influential music executives and industry people.
He later runs into the Island Records guy again, who tells him "You're not supposed to be here, you weren't invited. You shouldn't be here."
Later on, after this party, Gavin discovered that this was "Simon and Max's 'thing.'" These underage sex parties were a routine event hosted and organized by Simon Cowell and Max Clifford at "undisclosed strip joints." They'd invite teenagers who wanted to get into the music/entertainment industry, and they'd make them have sex with older execs for career opportunities that often never came.
Years later, Gavin came across the boy he'd recognized, who'd been underage at the time of attending the buffet. The boy, who Gavin didn't name, told him his story. He had been coerced by a Syco employee- a woman in her late 40s at the time- into having sex with her in exchange for career benefits. What ended up happening was this woman kept having sex with this underage boy, and the boy was coerced into signing away all of his image rights to Syco, trapping himself in a cycle of shitty TV appearances and roles he didn't want. He was legally unable to escape Syco at that point.
Direct quote from Gavin- "God knows where all those kids have come from. They're already tied up in pre-development deals, those deals don't just come to anyone." He explained how the boy felt like he needed to keep his sexual relationship with the older Syco employee a secret because he was underage, and he thought he would get in trouble for it. "You're never gonna cause a problem, because you think you've done something wrong."
Gavin and John Cooper also discussed another related incident, but since it isn't Simon Cowell related, I'm saving that for another post.
Max Clifford - Simon Cowell's former manager
Max Clifford was Simon Cowell's manager for over a decade, until around 2012 when he was arrested as a part of Project Yewtree on suspicion of sexual assault, and later found guilty and imprisoned for 8 accounts of such crimes in 2014. He would pass away in prison in 2017. (x) He was, as discussed above, involved in hosting Simon's buffet parties.
The fact that such a deplorable repeat offender was not only one of Simon's closest friends, but his manager of over a decade prior to his conviction, really highlights the web of pedophiles that Simon surrounds himself with. Pedophiles, I've learned, are pack animals. They're always in groups, you rarely find one working alone in the music industry. When one gets caught, they get ousted by the others and people act like their close friends and coworkers aren't likely doing the same thing.
There's a reason people say the music industry is one big sex trafficking ring- it's rife with people like Simon and Max everywhere you turn. And they all protect each other.
David Walliams - BGT & Harry Styles
David Walliams was a judge on Britain’s Got Talent alongside Simon Cowell from 2012-2022. David has faced a slew of controversies, most relevant a comment he made about Harry in 2011, when Harry was only 17 years old.
The comment was “I’d like to suck his cock” and it was broadcasted on Chris Moyles' Quiz Night. David was 40 at the time. The comment being made in 2011 and David being hired for BGT in 2012 means that Cowell chose to hire this man after this controversy, highlighting a concerning lack of care. But what else is new? (x)
Among David’s other controversies was an incident in 2006 where he exposed the genitals of multiple teenagers and simulated sexual acts with them for a comedy sketch. He repeated this sketch for years, with hefty criticism, and yet no official charges were ever pressed. (x)
Jonathan King - Simon paid his bail
Jonathan King is a record producer, singer-songwriter, music entrepreneur, and TV presenter who was convicted of four counts of sexual assault against teenage boys in 2001. His bail was set for £150,000, £50,000 of which was paid for by Simon Cowell. Although Jonathan was only convicted of 4 counts, 27 different men accused him of sexually assaulting them.
After Jonathan got out of prison, he was later arrested again as a part of Operation Ravine and charged in 2017 with 18 counts of sexual offenses, again against teenage boys. He was eventually acquitted of these charges, as a result of police errors and difficulties with a fair trial being carried out. (x) (x)
This guy has been accused of sexual assault by, like, 45 fucking people. Even if he was only convicted of 4, I highly suspect more of them were true and just didn't have enough evidence in court- and we know 18 were thrown out because the cops fucked up the investigation.
Conclusion
Simon Cowell needs to get curb stomped BADLY. He surrounds himself with pedophiles and rapists, and he himself runs pedophilic sex parties on the regular. Nobody cares, though. You won't see this in the news- they're too busy with the Diddy case, exposing more than one pedophile at a time is bad for the industry.
