It seems that Jermaine Jones, the 6’8″ gentle giant on “American Idol,” has fabricated a sob story to “A.I.” producers to win the hearts and minds of the American people.
“A.I.” sources told TMZ … last week, after appearing on the show … Jermaine came to them and said his dad called him from out of the blue, claiming pops abandoned him and his mom 10 years ago. Jermaine told producers he was extremely upset that his dad suddenly reappeared in his life now that he was famous and potentially rich. Jermaine said his dad was “a lousy father” and wanted nothing to do with him.
Jones later tweeted that he was no longer on the show, but the tweet was quickly deleted.
Fox Executives had no comment.
