Britney Spears Left X Factor Because She Was "Uncomfortable," According To Simon Cowell!

When it comes to why Britney Spears left her judgeship on X Factor, the jury is finally out!

Speaking to funny gal Ellen DeGeneres, X Factor‘s Simon Cowell revealed the deets of Brit Brit’s bye bye:

“I just think she found it very uncomfortable…I kind of booked someone who couldn’t talk, which was a bit of problem, when you want someone to judge. She wasn’t comfortable being negative, she didn’t like it when the contestants spoke back to her, so she was just uncomfortable. I liked her. So we decided to change it this year, and I thought I’ll work with three girls, because I like working with girls.”

Simon, leave…Britney…alone!

JK, it seems that the parting was an amicable, wise decision for both parties, seeing as how Britney has found some new Work Bitch with a much seksier dress code (or lack thereof)!

Hmm we hope that Simon and Britney as friends are still tighter than his t-shirts! There doesn’t seem to be any hard feelings, but who knows if their professional relationship is Toxic now!

Ch-ch-check out the interview, which airs tomorrow (ABOVE)!!!
