Uh oh! Looks like those rumors about David Archuleta‘s father, Jeff Archuleta, being the worse stage parent ever are not only true but getting his behind in trouble. A source close to the show told the Associated Press David’s daddykins has been banned from being backstage at rehearsals at Idol with 17-year-old David.
Jeff Archuleta’s intense backstage involvement had become a source of concern for the series, the person connected with “American Idol” said — but it was a lyric change on Tuesday’s show that pushed producers to act.
Despite a warning, Jeff Archuleta insisted on altering “Stand by Me,” one of two songs his son sang on the show Tuesday. By adding a verse from Sean Kingston’s “Beautiful Girls,” the father incurred additional costs for “American Idol,” the person said.
Fox declined comment. Attempts to reach Jeff Archuleta for comment were unsuccessful. A phone number listed under his name in Murray, Utah, was no longer in service, and Fox did not immediately respond to a request Friday evening for help in contacting the family.
See, this is exactly why I’m not fawning all over David A. He’s far too coached, like a little adorable embryol robot, and without his father’s pre-installed answers his personality is as stale as Joan Rivers‘ breastmilk. Let’s see how he holds up without daddy.
wow..so embarrassing..
