X Factor judge Nicole Scherzinger had a close call during a recent trip to Mexico. While traveling to the set of her music video for Try with Me, the entertainer was briefly held at gunpoint by a local gang of thugs.
Nicole and her choreographer Brian Friedman were driving through a dangerous mountain region in a bulletproof SUV when roadside gunmen pointed weapons at them and forced them to pull over.
Brian later told a Star magazine reporter, “We were held at gunpoint. People next to our cars…there were M16’s and Berettas!”
The group was allowed to leave, unharmed but badly shaken. Friedman said, “Nicole cursed me with this trip. It was the craziest adventure ever!”
No word from Nicole’s rep on the hold-up.
