Ex-‘Idol’ contestant Claims affair with Abdul
Report: Corey Clark outlines relationship in book proposal

Has Paula Abdul been judging more than the singing talents of the hopefuls on “American Idol”?
Corey Clark, a 24-year-old former contestant, is claiming that he had a “secret affair” with the 42-year-old judge from the hit show, according to the new issue of Globe magazine. Clarke reportedly is claiming that he had sex with Abdul in the guest room of her house, that she paid some of his expenses and promised to fund his career to the tune of $2 million, and that she made him vow to keep their relationship a secret. The allegations are reportedly from a book proposal that Clark has been shopping to publishers.
“[Abdul] told [Clark] she wanted to look out for him and be his ‘special friend,’” according to the Globe article. “But he claims she warned him that he couldn’t tell anyone or she’d make things very hard for him, cautioning, ‘Don’t screw me or you’ll be sorry.’” The proposal apparently also describes how Abdul once came up behind Clark, rubbed his neck, and then they began “kissing passionately
Clark got booted from the show after it was revealed that he faced charges of assaulting his teenage sister and clashing with police while resisting arrest.
The article also says that Clark was told that another "American Idol" contestant, Justin Guarini, "bragged about having an affair with Paula." Guarini's rep denies there was any affair.
Abdul’s spokesperson couldn't be reached for comment, but the Globe article says that Abdul “disputes the allegations contained in the book proposal.”
Separately, ABC is reportedly working on a “potentially explosive exposé” on “American Idol,” possibly about “the relationship between ‘Idol’ judges and contestants,” according to Variety magazine.

Was this before or after he got booted from AI?

This is a very bad month for Paula. First she got fined for a hit-and-run, confirmed to be taking medication that is making her all loopy, and now this scandal. Sucks to be her.

Wait a second... Guarini has "reps"? How does he pay them?
If this has no semblance of truth, I'd think Abdul would be suing the pants off this guy already...

I think she's hotter now then when she was a pop star.

I hope Paula sues his ass. He's obviously just doing this for attention...could anyone here even remember what he looked like if the original poster hadn't put up that picture?

Here is the story about why he got kicked off the show:

Let's just say the guy is slime even if what he says is true. Talk about a back stabber, this is the only way he can make money after his past caught up with him.
