American Idol show-biz dad goes stalker
‘Show Biz Moms and Dads’, a reality TV show that aired a few years back, showed just what can happen when the parents of a child star are willing to do just about anything to see their child win.
If TMZ, the venerable source of all things pop culture is correct, David Archuleta, the guy to beat this season of American Idol, has a stalker show biz dad.
TMZ, FOX news and others are reporting this teen star-to-be’s Father, Jeff, had to be “barred from the lot.” The site alleges that David dad’s photo was “hanging in the guard shack in case he tried sneaking in.
TMZ also alleges this isn’t the first time David Archuleta’s dad has been involved in activities to help his son win. Allegedly, David’s dad was “lurking outside her (Tiffany Evans) practices, even trying to coerce her into to drinking milk before a show to ruin her voice.” despite these efforts the site says Tiffany Evans won.
The showbiz dad’s behavior didn’t stop there says TMZ. “Sometimes (he) screamed at his son and has even withheld water during rehearsals, even bringing his son to tears.”
Do these parent’s have the best interests of their children at heart or what are their motives to do whatever it takes to get there child to the top spot? Thoughts?
