USA Today reports that the Antonella Barba scandal was the talk of a recent bash at Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Mansion. Hugh Hefner himself commented on the scandal calling the condemnation “hypocritical and dumb.” You know why he’s saying this, right? He saw the pictures and wants to book her for a Playboy Magazine layout. Hefner then went on to say “I think in America we have a very strange attitude toward sexuality and nudity, and it makes no real sense.”
In addition to Hefner, Idol judges Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson finally commented on the ordeal. Simon Cowell said “These people haven’t done anything illegal; that’s their private life” and that the pornographic photographs should “not affect her standing on the show, and if the public wants to keep her in, they’ll keep her in.”
Randy Jackson agreed saying “Nobody’s clean in the entertainment business.” Even Ryan Seacrest chimed in on the matter saying that he would “absolutely let her stay on. If American Idol is a true representation of American youth, we’re going to find imperfections. And it’s OK to be imperfect.”
It’s OK to be imperfect. Imperfect is allowing Antonella Barba to continue on whereas Frenchie Davis was removed for the same imperfection.
