Kara DioGuardi‘s Idol future isn’t looking too bright!
The experimental fourth judge doesn’t seem to mesh on the already dramz-filled AI set, with Simon Cowell constantly criticizing her and Paula Abdul whispering behind her back. An Idol source told OK! that Kara is tired of being everyone’s “punching bag” and is ready to quit.
Apparently, Kara spends most of the commercial breaks moping around craft services while the rest of the judges flirt with audience members and celebrity guests.
In one playground incident, “Ryan asked if Kara thought she was looking at the ‘right’ bottom three [contestants], and she said, ‘Yes, although I love them all.'” To which, according to an onlooker, Simon muttered under his breath that Kara did not in fact love them, causing Kara to “fire back, ‘Don├óΓé¼Γäót tell me who to love!'”
After that, Simon pulled Kara’s hair and Kara cried and Simon was put on a time out.
Even though it seemed like Abdrool was going to be voted off the show, it now looks like Kara might receive the boot should the producers decide to scrap the unpopular four judge format.
And, according to the insider, Kara would not mind leaving because “she has achieved too much in the rock music world ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ a business dominated by men ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ to allow herself to stay in a job where she├óΓé¼Γäós not appreciated. It├óΓé¼Γäós demeaning and a waste of her time and talent. No one would be surprised if she tells the producers to take this job and shove it.”
Them’s fightin’ words!
