Ryan Seacrest the host of American Idol has said that he is annoyed at the individual who posted racy pictures of contestant Antonella Barba all over the internet. Seacrest has stated “I do feel like it’s a little disgusting — I think the right word is ‘tacky’ — for someone to do that,”, he also said “These things, they were taken at a time that (was) a private moment. It was something between her and somebody close to her. It was meant for them and not for us. And it’s someone trying to take advantage of someone else, and this contestant is trying to make it in a mainstream show and do her thing.”
The images that he is referring to are of four women one being “Antonella Barba” in sexy poses cupping their breasts, topless pictures on the beach and also others of women in sexual acts.
Given how the Antonella Barba pictures were the most searched for items on the Internet the past week, how does American Idol get away without even mentioning the scandal on last night’s show?
They didn’t even attempt to defend her or dispute the legitimacy of the sex photos. Its laughable.
Well, given last night’s American Idol peformance, Antonella may have to fall back on these “fake” photos to earn some money. She’s set herself up well to make some serious cash posing in Playboy or any one of the other girlie magazines.
Her boyfriend or whomever it was in those photos must be a grade A jerk if he indeed was the one to leak them.
