Finally.
Seacrest intros video from yesterday when Jermaine was confronted by Lythgoe and other producers. A "shut the door, have a seat" moment.
They read off his criminal records/arrests from just last year. LOL! He acts like this is all news to him.
I wish Lythgoe would ask the obvious question: You're on a show watched by millions of people every week! You didn't think anyone would recognize you?
But it boils down to "we're sorry, but you didn't tell us about this, so we have to let you go."
As Jermaine/Joel/Kareem does the walk of shame, we hear his rehearsals from yesterday. Oh it's bad. Like how was he even allowed on the show in the first place bad.
And predicably, we come back live to the judges table where everyone looks appropriately disappointed.
Still no word on how they're going to deal with this absence on the show.
LOVE Skylar.

“Derek Hoffman · Top Commenter
Rocket Scienist AM Idol contestant says, “I’m going to go on national TV & I have 6 outstanding warrants for arrest.” What-eva!”
I love how the producers tell him they don’t judge him or anyone. They understand all manner of criminal activity ... but LYING ... they won’t tolerate being lied to. LOL That’s Hollywood!
