Wow. Things aren’t looking that great for the producers of American Idol.
According to TMZ, ten former African-American contestants have filed a lawsuit against the show. They claim they were unjustly released from the show because of their race. The kicker is that each contestant that filed is looking to gain $25 million for their troubles.
As reported, the contestants’ lawyer say American Idol used arrest information to categorize them as “violent criminals, liars and sexual deviants.” The people suing are Corey Clark (Season 2), Jaered Andrews (Season 2), Jacob John Smalley (Season 2), Donnie Williams (Season 3), Terrell Brittenum (Season 5), Derrell Brittenum (Season 5), Thomas Daniels (Season 6), Akron Watson (Season 6), Ju’Not Joyner (Season 8), and Chris Golightly (Season 9).
UTG will keep you in the loop with further information on this case as it develops.
