The allegations, which referred to the music mogul as being gay and having a number of relationships, were made during the collapsed trial of former X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos earlier this month. In a video that was played to the court, Contostavlos's personal assistant, Gareth Varley, suggested that the 52-year-old was gay. He added that he "knew people" who had allegedly slept with Cowell.
The father-of-one has since released a statement addressing the claims as "untrue".
Legal representatives for Cowell said: "Simon was referred to during the trial without forewarning, resulting in widespread media coverage of untrue claims regarding his private life.
"In 2014 the question of whether someone is or is not gay is antiquated. (As it happens he isn't, though if he were, he would simply have said so).
"However, the issue was the false suggestion made by Mr Varey that Simon – who is renowned for his honesty and candidness – had thus not been truthful in the public arena and this is what we have been obliged to clarify."
Contostavlos's drug trial collapsed on Monday after the judge said there were "strong grounds to believe" that the undercover reporter at the centre of the trial – a prosecution witness – had "lied" during a pre-trial hearing.
