The Experience of Black Women on X Factor

Following Misha B sharing her truth about her time on the show, Rory discusses the experience of Black women on The X Factor - both in front of and behind the camera - with Ray Sang and Teeyana Aromi, hosts of the Rhymeshe podcast.  From Gamu's shock exit from the contest in 2010 to Mel B being groped by Louis Walsh live on Xtra Factor in 2014, this episode aims to establish what the lasting legacy will be for Black women on The X Factor.WATCH THE VIDEOS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE:Misha B's Judges' Critique: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rURZ28fzsrwMisha B's X Factor Truth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Okxh9eL0cwAlexandra Burke - Experiences of Racism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdjU5pScks0Leona Lewis - Experiences of Racism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bp6Uo8ZKKc8Leigh-Ann Pinnock - Experiences of Racism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_T2zcyuqDAMel B - Sexually Assaulted on Xtra Factor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrPR1DcZxxgFollow Lights, Camera, Melodrama! on Twitter and Instagram for memes, music and melodramatic content!Join the conversation with Rory on Twitter and Instagram to find out what's in store on future episodes.Presented and produced by Rory BoyleTheme Music by Dominic GozoArtwork by Miss Gloria
