What's American Idol without a scandal? Looking back, in year 2003, Frenchie Davis, a powerful vocalist, was dismissed from the show after it was discovered that she had posed topless on a pornographic site. Then in 2005, the show was rocked by claims of former contestant Corey Clark that he had sex with celebrity judge Paula Abdul. Last year, it was another female contestant, Antonella Barba, who created an uproar with her racy photos which appeared on the net. Though she was allowed to remain in the contest, she was eventually voted out by viewers.
This Season, 24 year old contestant, David Hernandez has been discovered to have bartended at a gay nightclub called Burn. It has also been confirmed that he stripped and gave lap dances for men at Dick's Cabaret.
American Idol producers are shrugging off the latest sex scandal and has allowed David Hernandez to remain in the competition despite his past as a stripper.
"We've had strippers on the show before," executive producer Ken Warwick was quoted on Tuesday as telling the Web site TVGuide.com. "We're never judgmental about people who do things like that. "If it were some sort of heavy porn, then maybe we'd have to take action. But certainly not on this."
Smart decision AI! I would think it'll actually be an asset to them if he wins. Win or lose, you can lap dance for me anytime Hernandez ;)
