As of late, Paula Abdul hasn’t missed the chance to throw a playful dig at Simon Cowell. In 2022, the performer reflected on her “American Idol” days on “Today with Hoda & Jenna.” When asked about Cowell and Randy Jackson, Abdul jokingly cleared her throat and responded, “Who?” She gushed, “Randy’s wonderful. He’s my brother.” As for Cowell, she said, “I have the left side of my brain permanently damaged…he’s doing great.”

In a March appearance on “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” Abdul revealed what it was like working alongside the infamously harsh judge. She teased, “I’d have spikes on my heels so I could kick him underneath the table.” However, when Jennifer Hudson remarked that Cowell had since mellowed out quite a bit, Abdul agreed with her, attributing his transformation to becoming a dad. “He’s different,” the former judge said. “Not that different though,” Abdul then humorously clarified. The one quality that Cowell has kept? His ever-present snarkiness, Abdul noted. “He still makes jokes every time I see him,” she explained, before imitating the British TV personality.
