Simon Cowell is a busy, wealthy man, and busy, wealthy men don't have time to cook their own food so they must hire people to do it for them. When you're a man in Cowell's position, and you're fed up of micro chips and takeaway kebabs, a private chef is a must. During an interview for one of these private chefs, an unnamed applicant was kindly asked to remove her shoes before entering the Cowell residence. A harmless enough request made by many a household. However, after leaving the premises, she claimed that her shoes were never returned to her. When she returned to collect them, the shoes offered to her where not hers, but a different pair entirely. The chef claimed that her shoes had $500 orthopaedic inner soles, and despite repeated attempts to get them back, they never materialised. She filed a small claims lawsuit for $661.59 to cover the shoes, insoles and $9 in fuel used when attempting to collect them. A representative for Cowell claimed that the whole story that had broken was ridiculous and that the chef had simply forgotten her shoes and that the pair offered to her when she returned were definitely hers. The matter was eventually settled with Simon paying a whopping $75 in court costs, $9 in fuel and the chef getting her shoes back. Its unclear whether she got the job or not.
