Antonella Barba Had Warned ‘Idol’ About Racy Pics

On Thursday (March 8), Sabrina Sloan, Sundance Head, Jared Cotter and Antonella Barba were booted off ‘American Idol’. They sat down with Access Hollywood to talk about leaving the show, their experiences and what’s next. Asked about the infamous photos that leaked online and what the ‘Idol’ producers had to say about it, Antonella admitted, “Well, they had already known about it because I had told them about pictures that had been taken that could come out and like there was no getting in trouble with ‘Idol’ itself because they knew about it the whole time. They were working to protect me against it.” When Jared was asked when he heard about it, he responded, “She actually ran to my room when she first heard it. We’re real good friends so it was really hard to deal with because she is such a good girl and those are her own private pictures. Nobody, especially millions of people around the world were supposed to see those pictures.”
