tell mi it ain't true,......is dis trying 2 imply mario is gay!!!oh boy,wish its not true n its just a hoax

Ok people not versed in legal matters. If a deal was made with AI to keep it quiet while an internal investigation looked into the matter, of course he wouldn't have filed charges right away. Then, once Mario left, and AI couldn't continue looking into the matter, he probably began to weigh his legal options and the implications of going public with the accusations.

I'm aware that it's "innocent until proven guilty" in this country, but I'm not sure that implies "liar until proven victim" either.

Wow...timing is everything? Right after his album was released last year and now Mario has some $$$. You would think the guy would have filed suit after he lost his job if he felt so violated!

Am I the only person that has never watched American Idol and has no interest in it?

Hmmmmm, neither one of these people are celebrities. = who cares?

Of course The Dean has to come on here and make inappropriate comments, as on every other thread. Your mommy must have not paid you any attention growing up, because your remarks scream for attention.

Sadly, I think this may be true. When Mario (my fave contestant of his season) decided to bow out of AI at the last minute, my mom immediately said she thought it was because he was gay and didn't want people to out him. It's ashame if this is the way he's got to come out, having the man sue him and all, but at the same time if the guy was violated, then Mario should be punished. I hope for his sake this isn't true because then it'll put him in the same ranks as Michael Jackson, George Michael, and Pee Wee Herman.

Here's a scenario that could make sense: Mario and Olmos were involved with each other during the show and AI found out and let them both go to avoid a scandal.

i think this is a total lie. that guy is just trying to make money. but maybe this will help mario's career in the long run...seems to work for everyone else. mario is a sweet talented guy, i find this story seriously hard to believe.

Amy, you have a right to your opinion as I do mine. It does all make sense with the timing and Mario dropping out of the competition suddenly. Maybe the reason Olmos didn't act until now was fear, look at how they treated him the first time around. I think it could be true, but the only question I have is, to me, if Mario acted that aggresively to Olmos, did Olmos do or say something to lead him on, so Mario acted on it. It was a bad way to act period! Who really know? For all we know Olmos could be a scorned lover seeking revenge.

Well Im not sure if I believe this or not. Although it does explain his sudden departure from AI. This guy looks pretty small though. I cant imagine him pushing someone down, or restraining them. Especially with his pants down..

Ok.. Stop jumping to conclusions.. This supposely happened two years ago and Its just now coming out.. Beleive it when you see it.

I heard they do that all the time in Alaska!

hmm....not so shocking, but truly disguisting. like 1:07 said, who would follow someone into the bathroom and do that?

What kind of person follows somebody to the bathroom then does that? Ewwww.
