Zayn Malik's 1Departure Had Simon Cowell "About to Jump off a Cliff"
The One Direction/Zayn Malik saga continues. This time it's mastermind/benefactor/godfather Simon Cowell going on the record, admitting that he knew the singer's departure was inevitable.
The American Idol icon went on the Late Late Show With James Corden and joked that Malik was "about to jump off a cliff," adding:
"I was in Miami. I kind of knew this was coming if I was being honest with you. We had a few conversations. He wasn't happy and I was trying to say to him, 'Look, I think you should stay around a bit longer.' And then something just in him said, 'I had enough,' and then once the decision was made I dealt with it."
