Kara DioGuardi says she didn’t replace Paula Abdul
Kara DioGuardi appeared on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show to discuss Paula Abdul’s departure from American Idol.
I’ve always speculated that Idol producers brought Kara to the show last year as a fourth judge because they wanted to slowly push Paula out of the door.
Kara dismisses those rumors and says she wasn’t there to replace Paula. An excerpt from the interview is posted below.
“The kind of heart she treated the contestants with she treated me with last year. She was so kind to me and made me feel immediately like part of the panel.”
“I’ve left her a lot of messages. I talked to her last week. I haven’t spoken to her this week.
“The way I’m understanding it is that it was her choice to leave. I never was here to replace her. It would be impossible to replace Paula Abdul. She’s an incredible talent. She is somebody who helped make the show as big as it is. How could you ever replace that?”
“If anything, she was really somebody who helped me because it was awkward at times being the fourth person.”
