Everybody Hates Rosie
Wednesday, March 07, 2007
The executive producer of "American Idol" is lashing back at Rosie O'Donnell who called the show's methods "racist." On Tuesday's episode of "The View," Rosie said "Idol" is "weightist and racist" over the way it handled the Antonella Barba picture scandal this season compared to the way it booted Frenchie Davis off the show of few seasons back. Idol's Nigel Lythgoe has realeased a statement saying...
"Without wishing to add to the obvious self-promotion of Ms. O'Donnell, I feel as though I must refute her absurd and ridiculous claims that 'American Idol' is racist and/or weightist...Ms. O'Donnell has, once again, spoken without thought or knowledge. Viewers need only look at the show tonight to realize that 'American Idol' constantly confirms to America that talent has nothing to do with weight or color."
"American Idol" has also banned "The View" from using clips of the show.
