ANTI 'AMERICAN IDOL' RALLY PLANNED TO SUPPORT FRENCHIE DAVIS: Activist Najee Ali, supporters claim show is guilty of 'double standard.'
With the recent headlines regarding explicit photos of "Idol"'s season six contestant Antonella Barba being brought to focus via news outlets and on talk programs nationwide, a celebrity rally on Tuesday will examine the issue of a double standard as it relates to the Fox-TV program's treatment of Frenchie Davis.
Tuesday's planned rally/press conference is scheduled to be held at 11 am in front of the Kodak Theater in Hollywood where the "American Idol" program is broadcast from.
Four years ago Davis was dismissed from the show for purported racy photos. But those photos, which Davis told EUR in an exclusive interview, were never seen either by the "Idol" powers that be, nor the public. On top of that she maintains her photos were of her modeling lingerie. Barbas' are of the hardcore porn type and have actually been published and seen by the public.

The public is encouraged to join the rally on the "IDOL MELTDOWN on the DOUBLE STANDARD that is plaguing the current season with its current contestants," states the press release.
