Paula Abdul was so turned off by Seattle “The X Factor” contestant Geo Godley removing his pants on stage that she left the arena and nearly threw up, and she continued to blast the 43-year-old internet blogger on Thursday.
The Parents Television Council (PTC) condemned The X Factor for showing Godley dropping his pants while performing in front of the judges during its premiere on Wednesday. Fellow judge Nicole Scherzinger covered her eyes but took a peek between her fingers at Godley's performance, while Antonio "L.A." Reid called the display "disgusting, upsetting and offensive." The incident caused judge Paula Abdul to leave the set while fellow judge, record producer L.A. Reid, told Godley his stunt was "offensive, disgusting, distasteful and upsetting."
"The prolonged, previously videotaped footage of a contestant dancing nude on the 'X Factor' stage represents a conscious decision by the producers ... to intentionally air this content in front of millions of families during hours when they knew full well that children would be watching," the PTC said.
The PTC said that Americans were led to believe the show would be family-friendly "and instead were assaulted by graphic nudity." And at least one hopeful is already enjoying success with reformed drug addict Chris Rene's performance of his own song Young Homie attracting 800,000 total views on YouTube.
