The allegations that Paula Abdul has been reportedly drunk on the set of American Idol during the past season has put the hit television shows producers on edge. It is being reported by realitymagazine.com that the producers have asked their editors to do a little extra editing this season. They have been watching taped footage closely to help get rid of any footage in which the viewers might assume that Paula Abdul is under the influence of some sort of drug.

Executive producer Nigel Lythgoe has had to handle questions about Paula Abdul’s behavior on a daily basis. He continously refutes the reports that she is drunk on the show and attributes it to her unique personality. Lythgoe said “Unfortunately, once you get in your head that she’s drunk or she’s taking drugs, neither of which she does, she certainly doesn’t do social drugs or even drink, so once you’ve got that in your head it’s very difficult. We look when we’re editing the show nowadays and say, “Hey, are people going to think she’s drunk for doing that?” We try and take that into account.”

Fans have grown to love Paula Abdul as a judge over the years that American Idol has been on television. Her personality seemed to become more extravagant and outgoing as the seasons went on. This is what led many viewers to start questioning her behavior. Many people begin to believe that Abdul had to be taking some sort of alcohol or drug. Then the rumors began to swirl that Abdul was drinking alcohol out of the red cups you see during American Idol auditions. Once this rumor began, speculation about Abdul grew to even larger levels.

Paula Abdul has gone on television numerous times to state that she is not a drug user. She has also stated that she is not drunk during the shows. Abdul helped aid fuel to the fire by apparently looking intoxicated during a live interview on MSNBC. Since then, the show producers have had to take extra precautions to stop the public backlash against Abdul.
