Breaking News: Report Says Jermaine Jones Has Been Disqualified

And people wonder why I say I’m losing my addiction to “American Idol”…

Jermaine Jones, the surprise 13^th male contestant that stole a spot in the Top 25 from a more deserving guy because of his touching backstory and popular personality has been disqualified, according to “The Hollywood Reporter.”

The report says he concealed “multiple crimes.” According to TMZ, which tends to be the expert on these kinds of things, Jones was charged with two crimes in 2011, one involving violence. In both arrests, Jones gave a fake name to police and he did not reveal to “Idol” producers that he has outstanding warrants.

The “Reporter” said Jermaine announced the news on his Twitter account, but I couldn’t find it. My guess is that the show removed the post…

So the show forced a contestant like this down our throats while shafting more deserving contestants like our own Chase Likens? Are you kidding me?

Part of me thinks this serves the show right, but I feel bad for the shafted contestants…

This news comes on the heels of a report that Jermaine lied to the show about his father abandoning his mother.

There has been no official word from FOX on the disqualification, how it will be announced or whether or not Jermaine will be replaced. My guess is he won’t be because it would be Jeremy Rosado that would come back and the show already made it clear they don’t want him…

More on this as it comes in…

UPDATE: TMZ is reporting that Jermaine was confronted on camera today and the footage will be shown tomorrow night. Seriously? They're turning this travesty into a ratings stunt?! And why they didn't find this information earlier? Or did they?...
