Simon Cowell Is Protective Of His X Factor Girls

Papa Cowell doesn’t want ANYTHING happening to his girls!
Sources close to X Factor are reporting that Simon Cowell is VERY protective of his female contestants Drew Ryniewicz, Rachel Crow, and Melanie Amaro.
After a recent mall trip in which a mob scene ensued, Simon has reportedly told his personal bodyguards to make sure that the girls always have “some form of security.”
We’re glad to hear that Simon has his contestants’ safety in mind. As long as he doesn’t get TOO obsessive with keeping them out of harm’s way, we’d say this is a good thing.
What do U think? Do Simon’s female contestants need this much security???
