Simon Cowell already gave his official statement, but let's be real, there's no juice there!! Just stuff cleaned up by a publicist probably…

But NOW he's opened up, and he's saying what's really on his mind about the job massacre that happened over at X Factor. He even has something to say about The Voice!

According to him:

Let's see what the network has to say about their music competition shows!

During a recent interview, Fox's president of alternative entertainment Mike Darnell opened up about the recent X Factor firings AND American Idol's ratings.

So we've heard what Paula Abdul had to say about getting fired, and we heard what Nicole Scherzinger had to say about the ax.

We think a little time alone could have been a good idea, but hey! If she's happy, then we're happy for her!

To recap, earlier this month we learned that Paula Abdul and label owner Jeff Bratton decided to call it quits after a year and a half together.
