Idol's Antonella Barba, "provocative" pics on net

[somerfrost]

Well, I thought for awhile and decided to go ahead and post this. Antonella made it through the first cut and has some talent but I suspect has to show a lot more to stay in the contest. She obviously is rather attractive (OK, I have a gift for understatement) and I'm not surprised that pictures have shown up on the net...word is that they were leaked by a boyfriend (hopefully former)...these poor girls never learn...if you don't want it to haunt you, stay dressed in front of the camera! I read the comments and they are about 50-50, half morally outraged and half...well, as one guy said, "I wish that toilet seat was my face" I belong to the second group I guess...first of all, I see nothing wrong with the pictures, she's a 20yo college student for god sakes, and secondly...we see pictures like that on TV nowdays. Anyway, it will be interesting to see if Fox feels compelled to take action and how it will effect the voting...here is the link to a Philly site:

She's already a winner. Hell....we're all winners today.

Do you think Hef has given Miss Barba a call yet? You have to think once she's off the show the Playboy offer will be on the table!

You would think so...she certainly has the looks and especially if these pics become a "big deal" she would be able to cash in...still, it's a shame that it is even newsworthy! What I want to see is how Fox handles the situation.

Her best friend that got cut isn't in any of the pics. Hmmmmmm.

What situation, she wasn't blowing the president in the oval office. She was being a 19 - 20 something girl. Just hanging with her friends. They should do nothing.

I agree 100%...but it's not me that Fox will be concerned about...it's all those folks calling for the girl's head cause of "family values"! She's being a "normal" college girl...but there are folks who simply won't admit that the world is round!

Well I'm sure there is a reason, the friend said it best right after Bailey got eliminated : "Because God likes good people."

Side note. She was given walking orders shortly thereafter.

Now the real dirty pics are out. Not going to post a link.

But will she get booted like that one chick did because of nude photos?

Well she's been snapped in a sex act so i'd say she's a goner.

Damn, looks like she's history...I saw two pics with her giving head, don't know what else is out there but I don't see Fox keeping her now! For what it's worth, I think she should stay but I'll be amazed if she isn't dumped!

I don't watch AI or follow it...but most of those pics resemble the drunken springbreak photo albums of MANY a co-ed...does anyone know if she took these photos or performed the sex acts for distribution/profit? or if they are just that...drunken mistakes

Trust me, if Antonella Barba were in the business of making money off her naked pictures, someone on this forum would know.

Seems to have just been one really fabulous mistake.

That'd be my guess.

too bad I guess (although I have no idea if she is any good, since I don't watch)...i just wish that people would learn not to be stupid on camera...never leave hard proof that you were a moron...

She's not. Not even close. She's been a gimmick since day one trying out with her best friend (who FYI, was a heinous heinous bitch who deserved to get cut right after Bailey Brown got eliminated after the best friend wouldn't help her right before they performed and later told the camera that Bailey was gone and she was still around because, and I quote directly, "God likes good people."), and now she's being exposed for what she is now after the first week's episode.

Pun completely intended.

Not like you to judge so quickly Brian...we don't know the circumstances concerning these pictures, the first batch was pretty tame but these last two with her giving head are probably gonna doom her...still, I think she should be judged based on her musical performance not these pictures.

I didn't judge her on anything but her musical abilities somer -- sorry if it came off like I was. I meant that she was exposed for what she is after week one: awful. The "exposed" pun was just a semantic bonus.

I don't think she and her best friend are good people, which made it ironic, and she is an atrociously terrible singer.

I don't care about things like this, I just think it's funny that it's such a big deal. I'm of course interested because I love Idol, but it's not like this has any bearing on the competition, because she's about 10,000-1 to win it.
