Mayfair ‘Idol’ disqualified
By Shannon McDonald
Joanna Pacitti, a Mayfair resident and America Idol contestant, has been deemed ineligible to continue in the reality show following rumors linking Pacitti with executives at 19 Management, an affiliate of Idol.
The 24-year-old has been quoted as saying the execs are her “best friends” and “helped her get where she is today.” It also believed Pacitti lived with two of the managers in L.A. for several years.
Critics have questioned Pacitti’s involvement with the show, since she has had two previous record deals – no-no for Idol contestants.
Pacitti’s spot in the Top 36 has been taken by Felicia Barton. Reps for Pacitti and 19 Management have not commented.
