Antonella Barba controvesy sparks racial protest
Without beating around the bush, civil rights activist Najee Ali, celebrities, community leaders and Chris Tian & Friends for Frenchie Davis, will confront “American Idol” this Tuesday claiming a double standard exists.
With the recent headlines regarding explicit photos of “Idol”’s season six contestant Antonella Barba being brought to focus via news outlets and on talk programs nationwide, a celebrity rally on Tuesday will examine the issue of a double standard as it relates to the Fox-TV program’s treatment of Frenchie Davis. Â
Tuesday’s planned rally/press conference is scheduled to be held at 11 am in front of the Kodak Theater in Hollywood where the “American Idol” program is broadcast from.
Four years ago Davis was dismissed from the show for purported racy photos. But those photos, which Davis told EUR in an exclusive interview, were never seen either by the “Idol” powers that be, nor the public. On top of that she maintains her photos were of her modeling lingerie. Barbas’ are of the hardcore porn type and have actually been published and seen by the public.
Project Islamic Hope’s Ali, who is known for his no nonsense, take no prisoners style of speaking out on current issues, will be joined at the rally by season one “Idol” Producer Tarvenia Jones, Frenchie Davis (by phone), and Belinda Foster, manager of Frenchie Davis.
The public is encouraged to join the rally on the “IDOL MELTDOWN on the DOUBLE STANDARD that is plaguing the current season with its current contestants,” states the press release.

I find it appauling how “SIMPLE SIMON” is now turning his show into American Model by keeping Antonella…Everyone knows he would prefer to dump his annoying Brit girlfriend with annoying accent to pork Antonella a few times…I heard they were giving her and only her a vocal coach…Did you notice when they pretended to almost vote her off last show, by saying, “Sorry, you have to see Simon again next week”? Well, did you notice Antonella’s expression was, “Excuse me, I was told it wouldn’t be me, whats happening”? She gave it away that she knew it wasn’t her, by her reaction…She is being helped by the Show and Simon to strengthen her voice to surpass the others, they think her look will sell cd’s a little, so they want to bank on her…Meanwhile idiots like Hugh Hefner will offer her to show herself to the world and she will and her Mother and Father will let her…Where’s the class in this world…None since Simons been here, thats for sure and he’s so plain looking and so annoying, that accent is like chalk on a chalkboard!!! Screech!!! YUCK!!! Let Jordan Sparks get her award already, she’s the star, let Antonella do the porn she always wanted to do and name it “Slutz R Us” !!!
