There is a new scandal brewing on “American Idol,” the Fox Network’s hit TV competition that is no stranger to incidents, which have led to the dismissal of one or two contestants.
The latest involves 20-year-old contestant Antonella Barba who has been the subject of much speculation after pictures surfaced on the Internet showing a woman, purportedly Barba, lying on her back covered in rose petals, posing in her underwear, sitting on a toilet and performing oral sex on a man.
And while such may have caused scandal in the past for the show, interestingly, the pornographic web photos are apparently of no concern this time around.
That’s right; Barba has not been released from the show. A spokesman for the Fox Network only had to say that the show does not comment on contestant’s personal lives and even infamous judge Simon Cowell only reprimanded Barba’s so-called friends for leaking the photos. Yet and still, Barba’s alleged photos are not really the scandal.
However, TV fans might recall four years ago, on season 2 of the show, when Franchelle “Frenchie” Davis was disqualified from the show for appearing topless in photos on the Internet. Scandalous!
The show has been quite quiet about the Barba brouhaha as well as Barba herself, but Davis had a few things to say.
“I had stopped watching ‘American Idol’,” Davis admitted, “and I’ve tried to avoid even speaking about or thinking about what happened four years ago. But I couldn’t help but overhear what was happening with Antonella. I couldn’t help but notice the manner in which she was dealt with was the complete opposite of how I was dealt with.”
