Sources blamed Jimmy’s attitude on his belief that Jay robbed his childhood hero,

In 2012, Jimmy bashed incoming “X Factor” judges Britney Spears and Demi Lovato, along with former judge
Paula Abdul. “No one knows talent like
Britney Spears and
Demi Lovato,” Jimmy said sarcastically at a presentation for media buyers and press in New York. Then, taking a dig at Britney’s long-running legal woes, Jimmy sniped: “As you know, Britney Spears has been wanting to be a judge ever since she spent the last 10 years appearing before them.”

In a nasty swipe at Paula, he sneered: “No one was more dedicated or more medicated than lady Paula!” As for Jimmy’s long-running fake “feud” with film star
