Is this a double Standard or not?

[The Apatow Crew]

Okay i've seen on the entertainment show that Frenchie A contestant from the second season. Is mad cause she was kicked off american idol because she didn't tell anyone about the topless pics and they found out and booted her off.

So anyway she's mad that Antello Barba is still on the show after certain pictures of her leaked on to the web.

Some could could say Frenchie was payed to do these photo's while Antello's were just posted on the web.

Do you think she should be booted off the show same as her? Or is this a double standards case cause Antello is well better looking and more maketable to main stream audiences?

Then i heard some accusing American Idol of now being racist.

Is American Idol and the voting public racist? Or is it just against the bigger then normal people?

What i'm trying to say is does this frenchie chick actually have something to be mad about or is she just trying to get back into the spotlight again?

Frenchie was, what? 2, 3 years ago? Nobody cares about her, anymore. Hell, we don't even care about Fantasia, anymore.

I know. She's just looking for attention.

But do the Beautiful women get more perks then the i don't know how to say this without being rude but the bigger sized women?

 

[Abaddon]

the sex videos are more of an issue than the pictures, but no ones sure if it's really her anyway.

 

[Majik1387]

Frenchie's were pornographic, Antello's were not.

 

[Fran]

Thanks for reminding me of Frenchie, JAL.

Here's something i found on AIM news.

Group to Protest Racy 'Idol' Pic Handling

AOL
(March 6) - Antonella Barba, the 'American Idol' contestant whose provocative and racy photos garner more talk than her singing voice, wasn't kicked off of the show last week. But civil rights activists could be planning a reality coup as they're set to protest the fact that a black contestant was kicked off for similar photos.


A group called Project Islamic H.O.P.E. says they and other supporters will protest the show's decision to keep Barba on despite the fact that the show's producers kicked off contestant Frenchie Davis during the second season of 'Idol.' Davis, who is black, was booted after similar compromising photos from her past emerged. The group claims 'Idol' is guilty of a racial double standard, and that all stripping contestants should be treated equally -- despite the color of their skin

(CBS) NEW YORK It's been a rocky road for Point Pleasant, N.J. native Antonella Barba, a finalist on Fox's popularity contest American Idol, ever since she sang her way to Hollywood.

On camera, Barba has been berated by the judges for her singing, while off-camera she's turned into an amateur Paris Hilton, with questionable pictures of her parading around in a see-through top at a World War II memorial fountain surfacing on the Internet.

While Idol fans have somehow managed to keep Barba on the show despite her so-so singing, Civil Rights activists are now trying to get her kicked off forcefully. Activist Najee Ali, who leads the group "Project Islamic H.O.P.E.," and other supporters are gathering to protest the show's decision to keep Barba on despite the racy photos, claiming the show is guilty of a racial "double-standard" after booting off former contestant Frenchie Davis in the show's second season.

Davis, who is black, was disqualified from the show after topless pictures of her apparently in a compromising position also appeared on the Internet, according to several tabloid Web sites. Barba, who is white, has not been disqualified.

A news release was consequently issued saying that Ali, along with "celebrities, community leaders and Chris Tian & Friends for Frenchie Davis will confront 'American Idol' this Tuesday." The rally was scheduled to take place Tuesday morning outside the Kodak Theater -- where Idol is taped -- on Hollywood Boulevard.

The "celebrity" rally will focus on the circumstances surrounding Davis' ousting, in which Davis said the questionable photos were "never seen by the 'Idol' powers that be, nor the public," according to the release.

The release said Barba's photos are of a pornographic nature whereas Davis only posed in lingerie. Pornographic photographs of a woman who looked similar to Barba surfaced at the same time as the photographs of her splashing about in the fountain, but most outlets have dismissed the pictures as someone else, not Barba.

Ali and the rally participants are asking that Davis be brought back onto the show. An e-mail has even been created for supporters, but it doesn't appear as if the show's producers will budge in their positions.

Yes. I'm not saying it's right, or that I agree with it, but yes. They do get more perks.

The big girls get love, too. The pretty ones. Like Queen Latifah or Raven Symone.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

Thats what i always thought about most of these "talent' shows.

 

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

The more important question is.....who gives a rats ass....?

 

[SapphirePrima]

Frenchie's were pornographic and Antonella's were one's you see on someone's Myspace.

 

[Kool-Aid]

Plus she was hotte then french

 

[The Apatow Crew]

Frenchie's were pornographic and Antonella's were one's you see on someone's Myspace.

I know but try telling that to her.

and Koo-Aid

thats one of the reasons i think shes still on there and it makes french's mustard mad.

 

[C.F. Kane]

American Idol is the opiate of the masses

Have you seen the pics? There's pics of Antonella giving her boyfriend a blow job while naked.

I hope her 16 year old eyes haven't seen them.

 

[Machx72]

^^I'm just shocked that nobody knew about that set. I was pretty sure THOSE were the ones that the big fuss was over.

I saw the ones taken in D.C., too, and those weren't even that bad.

 

[Crooklyn]

Have you seen the pics? There's pics of Antonella giving her boyfriend a blow job while naked.

Those aren't her.

To answer the question, the situation presented as an example isn't a double standard simply because the 2 instances aren't the same. Anyone looking to pursue this any further due to racial issues is just plain reaching.

 

[Machx72]

Those aren't her.

Proof? I'm pretty sure it was, and that they found birthmarks/scars that she actually has in the pictures.

 

[Crooklyn]

Do you like...want the actual photos?

I know for a while, the only pics that were released, featured the girl sucking on a lollipop so to speak. More pics have surfaced, that show her face in a "normal state", that clearly proves it's not the American Idol girl.

Lmao. Normal state.

Na, I just know that only the girl's friend denied it was her... Which honestly doesn't say much. I really didn't look close enough to see any differences in the faces between the D.C. pics and the BJ pics, but I had just heard that people investigated it and saw scars and stuff that were supposedly actually hers.

But I did notice that the boobies don't match .

 

[Ghostvirus]

I don't mean to offend, but I really think that some blacks need to stop using racism as a cruch everytime they don't get what they want. It hurts the entire movement.

BINGO!

They're not slaves anymore.

They need to get over it.
