“The X Factor” judge NICOLE SCHERZINGER and her crew were recently held at gunpoint in Mexico where she was traveling to shoot her music video “Try With Me.”
It looks like Nicole went through a frightening case of “The X Factor” meets “The Fear Factor.”
According to “The X Factor” choreographer Brian Friedman, the former Pussycat Doll and her people were passing through some drug gang-infested mountains in their bullet proof SUV when they were pulled over by what looked like the Mexican police…
“We were held at gunpoint,”
Brian told Star Magazine.
“People next to our cars…there were M16s and Berettas!”
Is the Mexican government well-heeled enough to provide their police force with the kind of high-powered firearms Brian reported seeing?
Fortunately, Nicole and her group were released without incident, and while they say otherwise, the Mexican “authorities” who held them at gunpoint deny having pointed their guns at anyone.
“Nicole cursed me with this trip,”
Brian continued.
“It was the craziest adventure ever!”
Seeing as how Mexico is virtually overrun by drug cartels, it can be hard to really pinpoint which side of the law their assailants really belonged to.
What do you think?
