Scandalous accusations are emerging over at American idol, as former American Idol contestant Corey Clark has claimed he had a secret affair with judge Paula Abdul. According to US publication Globe Magazine, the singer claims that he had sex with Abdul in the guest room of her house and that she promised to fund his career to the tune of $2 million. Whether anyone will believe him, given that the 24-year-old was disqualified from show back in 2003 after he failed to admit to an outstanding criminal charge, remains to be seen.
The claims are said to be made in a new book Clark is currently attempting to get published.
According to the magazine article, Clark claims Abdul told him “she wanted to look out for him and be his 'special friend’” but that he couldn't tell anyone about it or she'd make things very hard for him, allegedly saying “Don't screw me or you'll be sorry.” Clark apparently also claims that Justin Guarini, runner-up of the first season, "bragged about having an affair with Paula" too. Guarini's publicist has denied that suggestion.
A spokesperson for Abdul said that she "disputes the allegations." Well, obviously.
