Regardless of whether or not that is her in all of those photographs, she is sure learning about life the hard way. Many people do stupid things and make stupid mistakes and fortunately for them they are anonymous enough that no one cares or notices. That no longer applies when you become a "celebrity" overnight.

even money says she withdraws before Wednesday....It'll be "encouraged" by the producers, but they don't want the bad press in DQ'ing her because it really wasn't her fault.

I am not a fan of Antonella's singing, but I wholeheartedly agree with Jimmer's 7:53 post. This girl tries out for the competition, makes it and then this stuff comes out? Completely embarassing and horrible for her. I feel sorry for her, even if I wouldn't have done the "girls gone wild" thing in the first place. Something like this could ruin her life for a whd if

Jimmer, Antonella was ranked #2 on DialIdol.com, but that was because she also had the support of VFTW.com (Vote For The Worst), as did Sundance for the guys side, and we all know how poorly Sundance sang too. I don't understand why these sites do things like this......promoting who they think is the worst singer. Just for kicks, I guess. All it does is give false sense of hope to these contestants.

Topless Beach Photo It's not that bad. Like something girls on a beach vacation might do.

Kona, there were other photos of a girl who supposedly is Antonella involved in a sexual act with a male. Naja posted about it above. I found the pictures, which do look like her, but I don't trust every picture I see.

fatbackandcollards dot com has the original bigger oral sex pictures that aren't pixelated, in case anybody really has any doubts that it is her.

Lady, I think the difference there is that Frenchie was paid for those photos (and she was honest about them and told the judges, but they booted her anyway), these weren't; just some jerk-possibly an ex-boyfriend- who had them decided to post them to hurt her... (and not only is she possibly going to ge bounced, she could get kicked out of school-Catholic University- for violating their conduct code)..

I think the pics are more embarrassing to the guy than to her...

(and not only is she possibly going to ge bounced, she could get kicked out of school-Catholic University- for violating their conduct code).. As far as getting kicked out of a Catholic University - or any school that has a conduct code - you know the rules, you sign the agreement, you do the crime, you do the time. She violated the conduct code but is that ok as long as she doesn't get caught? IMO I could care less what she did but if she gets kicked out of school that's by her own doing even if somebody else leaked the pictures.

I see moms over at the official forums more or less saying they don't want their kids voting for someone who appears to live her life like a "Girls gone wild" video. I can see where they are coming from. I can also see the sponsors of the show not exactly appreciating it either.

Well she certainly can't say "this was a private moment and I didn't know the camera was there"

exactly, Bonbonlover, and these photos are oh so much worse than Frenchie's. And Frenchie posed for a photographer and didn't realize her pictures would be sold to that porn site, for those people that keep saying that she posed for the porn site.

The thing is, if you ever get your pic taken, you can be sure it's gonna come out if you try to become famous. And for pete's sake, if that IS her doing the B-J thang, then she's really stoopid. I've done some dumb things in my lifetime, but I would NEVER allow anyone to take a picture of me in that position. I don't know whether they are true or not, or who "leaked" the photos or not. But there are enough photos out there to make me think this girl has no business being on a primetime TV show trying to become an "American Idol." I'm no prude, not by any means, but there is a limit, yes? What Serate said... you do the crime, you do the time. No matter what the "time" happens to be. I really hope Antonella gracefully withdraws from the comp. She's outta her league anyways, and there's no way she'll ever win (VWTW.com or no).

I certainly don't think she'll last much longer on her talent alone but I'm a bit confused as to what the big deal is. She was having a little fun, took some pictures, I doubt it was her intent to have them posted online, just something that was supposed to be private. It's not as if she were caught on film robbing a bank or beating someone with a crow bar, she had pictures taken while performing a certain sex act and posing for topless photos. Not sure why that alone would disqualify her from being on Idol, though honestly I never quite understood why Frenchie was kicked off for her photos. I certainly wouldn't want my children to see those photos, but there's an easy way to do that..we keep an eye on what they do online. It'd be mighty hypocritical of me to be saying they can't look up to her if they wanted to cuz she was performing that act. I may not have photos out that and haven't posed topless but I can't say I haven't done the other, lol. I feel sorry for her, she probably never expected to have her intimate photos put out for the public to see.

I tend to agree. I don't see it as a big deal. If she had posted the pictures on her own website with a big "vote for me" written under them that would be different. Someone who has a grudge against her is trying to humiliate her and people are helping him or her do it. At this point, I feel sorry for her. We all do dumb things at times (dare I say especially when we are young) and letting these pictures get out is a big one.

no, letting them get out wasn't the big one ... TAKING them was the big one.

Why? Some folks take pics like that for whatever reason. Not my type of thing, I'd be too worried something would happen to me and my mama would find them, lol, but I'll admit I'm kinda prudish about that kind of stuff. If she was comfy taking those pics what's the big deal?

The big deal is the knowledge that when you do things like that they are bound to come back to bite you in the butt. When you take those kinds of pics, I think you should be prepared for anyone to see them.

We all seen how Antonella's friend treated Bailey. That was enough for some people to find Antonella guilty by association and it's all speculation on my part, but jealous/jilted lover/boyfriend...there are plenty of conspiracies out there and I kinda am leaning toward BFF seeing Simon say "You're better than your friend." and her saying...we'll just see about that. It may just be me but I see Amanda's fingerprints all over this. Ever scene Heathers? or Cruel Intentions... It's sad to see this happen and I really wanted Antonella to crash and burn on her own...I didn't want her to have to withdraw for these reasons.

If you're going to have those kind of pics taken of yourself you make sure that you have them and not someone else. You also make sure that no one sees your face. But I know of people who've been video taped and didn't know it. Maybe and it's a small maybe she didn't know she was being photographed doing the bj??
