"Idol" Antonella Barba backs Amy Polumbo involved in photo scandal
Antonella Barba, the former “American Idol” sixth-season semifinalist, has decided to offer some advice to fellow Garden State 20-something Amy Polumbo, who has found herself at the center of her own racy-photo scandal less than a month after being crowned Miss New Jersey, Reality TV World reports.
"I used to say 'Cover your tracks,' but it really should be, 'Don't make tracks that need to be covered,'" Barba told The Associated Press on Thursday. "Once anything is online, it's free reign."
Earlier this month, Polumbo revealed that someone was trying to blackmail her into resigning her crown by threatening to release embarrassing photos that she had previously posted on her Facebook social networking page. Although Polumbo acknowledged that some of the photos showed her "not in a ladylike manner," none of the photos featured nudity, causing the Miss New Jersey pageant board to decide not take away Polumbo's crown.
Barba's photo scandal was similar, as Idol producers said they had no intentions of disqualifying her from the competition and she was subsequently eliminated by viewer votes on the cusp of becoming an Idol 6 finalist.
"I feel so bad for [Polumbo]," Barba told The AP. "I've been in the same situation she's been in. It disgusts me, people's interest in the dirt and trying to bring somebody down."
