American Idol definitely didn’t see this coming. Nine former
contestants from the talent show have sued the program charging racism for
allegedly booting them off “for a plot to boost ratings”. Corey Clark (Season
2), Jaered Andrews (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) have
all come together to file the lawsuit against the production company when it
was noted that when looking back at the people who were disqualfiied from the
competition, they were all black.
