Katie Waissel claims X Factor had 'preventative measures' in place to stop her exiting
The X Factor had steps in place to keep her in the competition back in 2010 before she was eliminated in the quarter-final.The star, who has now turned her attention to law school with the hopes of becoming a lawyer, has also explained she has requested a meeting with Dominic Raab.Katie, 36, hopes to change the Human Rights Bill that would allow musicians to file claims under the Human Rights Act rather than the proposed Bill of Rights, introduced by Deputy Prime Minister, Dominic Raab.The songstress exclusively shared an insight on her time on the show, which she claims she never wanted to participate in.She told the Daily Star: "It wasn't a platform for me or anybody and I think this is the verbiage that has been so continuously spewed out, it's almost like when you see a contestant say 'I'm so grateful for the opportunity', that is not the case – we are told to say it."The same goes with the public, the general viewers or public watching a show like that are literally manipulated into believing that it offers a once in a lifetime opportunity for people and makes them famous and makes them rich, it does not."This is one of the fundamental things that I'm fighting so hard for, is to get justice for the public that were also a victim of this coercive behaviour."Katie claims: "If I could go back in time and not do a show, it wasn't even my choice to go on that show but if I could turn back time and erase it, I would and I know I'm not the only person that says that."The only light at the end of the tunnel is that I'm hoping to help so many others from this."During her time, Katie was the victim of online trolling, explaining to the Daily Star that she often asks herself how she has a "fibre of strength" to continue her
