Cher Lloyd, a former contestant on “The X Factor,” has recently disclosed troubling experiences with her record label during the early stages of her career, which began after her appearance on Simon Cowell’s show.
At 31 years old, Lloyd has made serious accusations against her previous record label, claiming they suggested she should “seduce” a young Justin Bieber to enhance her album’s sales.
“I was instructed to frequent clubs to locate Bieber and attempt to engage with him,” Lloyd recounted during her appearance on Paul Brunson’s “We Need To Talk” podcast. “I was just a teenager and married at that time. It was incredibly distressing.”
Despite her requests for financial backing to promote her album, Lloyd asserts that she was turned down. “I was informed that I wasn’t deemed worthy of investment and that they preferred to use me to connect with a celebrity,” she stated.
Lloyd’s claims highlight the exploitative tactics employed by certain record labels. She also mentioned that her management team discouraged her from marrying her husband, Craig Monk, indicating they would go to great lengths to prevent the marriage.
“Cher Lloyd reveals the reality of trying to launch in the US. The only option her record label gave her was to seduce Justin Bieber in the club.
With her marriage on the horizon, she had to keep her true love’s desire a secret in order to keep the label’s interest.” pic.twitter.com/fJlMBOYEhf

In addition to her challenges with the record label, Lloyd opened up about her battle with postnatal depression following the birth of her second daughter, Eliza, in 2023. She described experiencing distressing thoughts of vehicles colliding with her baby, along with intense anxiety, insomnia, and a lack of appetite.
“Postnatal depression profoundly affected me,” Lloyd expressed. “It has led me to believe that I cannot envision having more children.”
Lloyd underscored the significance of seeking assistance for mental health issues, particularly after childbirth. She commended her general practitioner for their support during her healing process. “I felt lost and disconnected from myself,” Lloyd admitted. “However, I am now in a significantly improved mental state. I take pride in being a mother, despite it being the most challenging period of my life.”
