American Idol’ mulls taking focus off Claudia Conway after backlash

ABC is in “crisis mode” and considering taking the spotlight off Claudia Conway after her appearance on “American Idol” was branded “exploitative” because it appeared to capitalize on her serious struggles with her mom, Kellyanne Conway.

For months, Claudia, 16, has been documenting her volatile relationship with her mother, a former White House adviser to Donald Trump, on Tik Tok.

Things got so bad that cops got involved last month after Claudia accused Kellyanne, 54, of leaking a nude picture of her (though she later recanted the allegation).

This weekend, Claudia appeared on the talent show, with the network putting her front-and-center and featuring her in promos for the show. Kellyanne even appeared on the show via video to offer her encouragement.

My wife and I casually watched a few seasons of idol until we had enough of Ryan Seacrest and the gay contestants.

I find it interesting that in most of the articles covering the “Claudia/American Idol” story, there is much mentioned regarding how she was able to be “randomly” selected from tens of thousands of candidates like all the other candidates have been.

This is more a scandal of how fake the American Idol auditions are and how “unrealistic” the “reality show” is.

Anybody think she is even remotely a potential Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson or Scotty McCreery?

Not a chance.

I wonder what Simon Cowell thinks about this . . .

According to the article, Kellyanne even appeared on the show via video to offer her encouragement. That sure does make it sound like she was pushing it.

So then both of her parents were pushing it. Telling that the parents don’t appear together.

You don’t get it. By allowing her to appear on that show she pushed it. She should be sent to a reform school.

“You don’t get it.”

I don’t get what? I mentioned nothing about Kellyanne pushing anything, or not. Maybe your post was to another person?

At age 15, she looks “shop worn” (as my mom would say about one who has seen the streets). Sad for one so young, regardless of who her parents are)

She’ll end up getting pregnant before she turns 18 just to spite her parents. Wonder what color the child will be.

“It’s not her father. As a minor she could(and should) have been prevented from appearing on the show. It’s Kellyanne.”

Sorry, but I play by the LEFTIST PLAYBOOK (since we get our assess wiped when we try to play clean), so if there’s a Leftist in the picture, that is EXACTLY WHO I will blame, every time.
