Jermaine Jones’ mysterious departure from American Idol (VIDEO)

Why was Jermaine Jones suddenly booted from American Idol?

He tweeted from his official show account on Tuesday that he will ‘no longer be on the show’. His account has since been deleted.

Fox reps refuse to comment on his situation but promised they will explain his departure on Wednesday’s show.

TMZ seems to know the reason for his sudden departure. They are reporting that he has been disqualified after lying about his criminal history. The producers were particularly worried about some violent charges. He also lied to the cops by giving them fake names both times.  

That’s not the only thing that Jermaine has lied about. He also said that his father abandoned him 10 years ago, but his father claims that they see each other regularly.

What do you think about this drama surrounding Jermaine? Should Idol have forgiven him for his lies, or was he just trying to drum up some sympathy points?
