Former X Factor contestant Cher Lloyd has hit out at Lorde for being outspoken about the behaviour of the likes of Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez - calling the 'Royals' star 'a knob'.
In an interview with J-14, Lloyd said that she wasn't happy about Lorde's criticism of Gomez.
"Why does she have to go and do that?" said Lloyd. "She's doing so well - what a knob.
"Why would she do that? She's sitting at number one. I think she's going to eat her words, which she obviously already has, and I think for someone who's gaining so much success so early, she should be considering herself lucky - it takes a lot of work."
She continued: "You know what though? If she said something about me, it'd be a different story. I wouldn't stand for any of that, I'd be straight back on it."

Lorde told MTV in an interview earlier this month she was 'sick of women being portrayed this way' when discussing the sexual themes in Gomez' track 'Come and Get It'.
Gomez then responded to the criticism, saying: "I appreciate everybody's opinion, especially because I've covered her music lots of times," she said. "I think she is super talented and I think it's awesome. But I think at the same that feminism and that specific thing is very sensitive because in my opinion it's not feminism if you're tearing down another artist.
"So that's the only thing that I feel but you know, she's young, she's got so much talent, she's gonna take over, she gets it, so I don't take it to heart."
