Whut the deal folks? Okay, straight to business:
Those who frequent this section of the site are probably aware of my recent lobbying for Frenchie Davis on The Fox network's American Idol. Well it appears that Frenchie has been booted due to some "internet activity" roughly four years ago to generate funds to keep her in school. How did the producers find out? Frenchie told them. Their response: they kicked her off the show. This I believe was unfair. Pardon me for thinking that it was up to America to decide her fate as American Idol @ this point, not the producers. At least she didn't pull a Kelly Clarkson and let the shit hit the fan after she won. They didn't take the runner up after finding out either. Nope, baby girl still got the works complete with corny American Idol musical to hit the big screen in the near future. I'm not justifying Frenchies past actions, nor am I condemning her. But damn, how are the producers going to put her business out there and kick her off the show? They effectively branded her, when they could have used some "PC" press talk like, "We asked Frenchie to leave due to professional conflicts of interest."
In fact, America has proven in the past that many faux pas’ often do not mar their opinion of the celebrity.
Halle Berry: involved in drunk driving incident still wins an Oscar.
Woody Allen: Molests and marries his adopted daughter, yet still enjoys box office success with movies like "The Curse of the Jade Scorpion"
Vanessa Williams: Former Mrs. America showed it all for Playboy magazine, and still gets celebrated today for her music and acting
Madonna: Posed nude prior to her success, the reaction of the public and Madonna- quote "So what?"
Arnold Schwarzennegger (pardon if I spelled that wrong Arnold): Also posed nude back in the day...still became one of the biggest action stars ever.
Let's not forget Rob Lowe and Alyssa Milano's porn antics: One makes it big on NBC's The West Wing, the other on the WB's Charmed
We won’t even touch the rock industry and folks like Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson. The fact of the matter is, some make mistakes before they are stars and some do so even after they become stars, but it's ultimately the public who decides whether or not to exonerate the celebrity/star/icon from wrong- doing. Paul "Pee Wee Herman" Ruebens didn't bounce back from his masturbation antics, while Michael Jordan bounced back from his infidelity scandal. Frenchie did what she did, right or wrong, to stay in school. The same school that had the support base to raise the money for her audition to make it to American Idol. The same school that supported her through the initial American Idol auditions. If it really is America’s Decision, let the fans decide. You stuck it out with Kelly Clarkson after her scandal dropped a day or two after she was crowned American Idol, stick it out with Frenchie. Use this as a lesson to perhaps do background checks on those who make it to the final thirty- two contestants. But don’t’ punish someone for being honest. That may convey a far worse message than what Frenchie apparently did four years ago. IF this really is America and we really do have the power of freedom of choice, then let America decide.
