We don’t blame the man. And according to celebuzz , L.A. says he has a real job to get back to: Just as Simon Cowell has rebuilt FOX’s The X Factor from the ground up for Season 2, one of his original judges is leaving. “I have decided that I will not return to The X Factor next year,” L.A. Reid told Access Hollywood. “I have to go back and I have a company to run that I’ve kind of neglected and it saddens me a little bit, but only a little bit.” Reid is currently the chairman and CEO of Epic Records. The record executive and music producer is responsible for finding many of today’s most successful stars including Justin Bieber, Mariah Carey, Rihanna and Pink. Reid says that he’s leaving solely for business reasons and that he’s still on very good terms with the show and fellow judge and executive producer, Cowell. “I love Simon,” he said. “We have a great relationship, we have fun together, we talk, we laugh, we do bad things, we’re friends. I owe so much to Simon. I really have a lot [of] respect for him and I always will. I support him, I support the show and I’ll always be in business with him.” Cowell chose to keep Reid on after Season 1, but fired judges Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger along with host Steve Jones. This season, Britney Spears and Demi Lovato filled the empty judging spots while Mario Lopez and Khloe Kardashian Odom were hired to co-host the FOX talent competition. Did you even watch X-Factor??

L.A. Reid – the man behind Rihanna, Usher and Mariah Carey’s careers – recently admitted he could’ve taken credit for Lady Gaga’s success too, but was having a bad day when he decided to drop her – only months after originally signing her to Island Def Jam. Of course, Gaga went on to sign with Interscope and L.A. moved to Epic Records, but here’s what he had to say about what could have been: “One day, this artist came to my office. She played piano, she had on white go-go boots, thigh-high boots. She sat down at the piano and she played and she sang and when she was done, I said, ‘You are an amazing artist, a true artist and you will change music’ and I signed her. Her name was Lady Gaga. “Then a few months later, I got her demos and it was a work in progress and I was having a bad day. A bad day. And I said, ‘You know what? I really don’t like it. Let her have her freedom. Let her go find her career.’ And it was the worst thing I’ve ever done.” Did L.A. Reid Sign Ciara? OutKast Signing With L.A. Reid’s Epic Records
