Sad that now that Antonella's gone, there's no good Idol scandal? Fear not. Former contestant Mario Vasquez (the one that dropped out for "personal reasons" in Season 4) is being named in a lawsuit by a man named Magdaleno Olmos. Olmos claims Vasquez sexually harassed him.
Olmos was an assistant accountant for Fremantle Media, the company that produces American Idol.
TMZ got a hold of the lawsuit. Here's some highlights:
"Vazquez stared lasciviously, smiled lasciviously ... and on one occasion followed him into a bathroom ... knocked on the door of the plaintiff's stall and made eye contact through the space in the stall door."
[Vazquez] "started to rub his genitals over his pants. Attempting to leave the bathroom, Olmos opened the door of the stall and saw Vazquez standing in front of him with his pants down masturbating."
Vazquez pushed Olmos "further into the stall and continued masturbating with one hand and trying to pull down Olmos' pants with another hand."
Olmos claims that he tried to "cover his body with his hands" but Vazquez touched his "chest and stomach underneath his shirt, and Olmos' "genitals" as Vazquez "attempted to unzip" Olmos' pants.
Vazquez then allegedly asked Olmos "if he wanted oral sex."
Olmos claims that as he "managed to get out of the stall, and attempted to leave the bathroom," Vazquez, grabbed his arm "in an effort to stop him." Vazquez continued to call Olmos to come back as Vazquez "stood in the bathroom with his pants still down."
Olmos says that he tried to report the incident to a superior named Eric LaPointe, but when he did LaPointe allegedly responded by telling Olmos that "he was crazy" and "repeatedly threatening to fire" him. A few months after the incident, Olmos claims he was "terminated."
