American Idol contestant Joshua Ledet is making some extremely wild allegations against former idol judge Jennifer Lopez, and R&B singer Chris Brown. Media Take Out learned that many on social media suspect that the singer may be having some sort of a psychotic breakdown.
Joshua went on Twitter and claimed that his career stalled because he claims that Chris Brown and Jennifer Lopez “s***ally assaulted” him and “used dr*gs and alcohol” top mess up his career.
He also made some more rambling allegations suggesting that the two artists were involved in some sort of “illegal stuff” with “underage people.”
Here’s the post:
Joshua Ledet auditioned for the eleventh season of AI in Houston, and he was immediately dubbed “Mantasia”, the male version of former Idol contestant Fantasia, by fans, the media and even Fantasia herself.
For the semi-finals he performed Jennifer Hudson’s “You Pulled Me Through”. He was one of the top five male vote getters and advanced to the top 13. In the top 13, he performed Stevie Wonder’s “I Wish” and was one of the bottom three male voter getters, but was declared safe.
Ledet earned his first standing ovation in Hollywood Round, Part 3 when he sang his version of Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri. In the Top 8 round, Ledet earned his first standing ovation of the evening for his rendition of Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes’s “If You Don’t Know Me by Now”.
His duet of George Michael and Aretha Franklin’s “I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)” with fellow contestant Jessica Sanchez got a second standing ovation from the judges, prompting Jackson to declare “Two of the greatest singers to ever hit this competition … This is one of the greatest performances I have seen on this show”.
He also performed It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World by James Brown, which was called “one of the best songs in the history of any singing competition,” by Randy Jackson. Kris Allen, AI season eight winner, named the pair as his two favorites this season.
During the top five show the judges gave Ledet the most praise of all the contestants for his versions of “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg” by The Temptations (for theme songs from the 1960s), and the Bee Gees’ “To Love Somebody” (for theme British Pop).
Ledet received a record 18 standing ovations from the judges, including his duet with Season 3 winner Fantasia Barrino at Season 11 finale, the most of any AI contestant. He was eliminated on May 17, 2012, placing third overall with the lowest total of 90 million votes cast.
After Idol Ledet’s career fizzed out. It’s not clear why – after receiving such success – he never managed to make a career out of it.
