Paula Abdul furious that American Idol allowed stalker to audition

Paula Abdul is furious that American Idol producers allowed an obsessive fan to audition in front of her.

The singer insists she warned bosses about Paula Goodspeed’s threatening behaviour and begged them not to let her appear on season 5.

She claims they overruled her because they thought her performance would make good entertainment.

‘She had been writing disturbing letters for 17 years, almost 18 years,’ Paula told US radio station Sirius XM. ‘We had restraining orders at times. For me, I was lucky enough that all the letters would come through the fan club.

‘But come American Idol, when anyone could audition, she showed up. I said, “This girl is a stalker of mine. Please do not let her in.” Everyone knew. I was shaking. [But they thought it would] be fun for them to cause me stress.’

Paula Goodspeed was found dead outside the 46-year-old's LA home on 11 November. It is believed she committed suicide.

American Idol makers Fox were unavailable for comment.

Paula Abdul moves after fan kill's herself outside her California home

Paula Abdul has moved out of her California home – just weeks after a fan apparently killed herself outside.

The American Idol judge, 46, was horrified when Paula Goodspeed, 30, who auditioned on the show, was found dead in her car near the house in Sherman Oaks.

It is thought her body lay next to prescription drugs and pictures of the star.

‘Paula simply feels she has outgrown her house,’ says her rep.

‘Given the recent public disclosure of her address, it seemed time that she move into a gated community.’

Paula Abdul expressed shock over fan found dead near her home

Paula Abdul has expressed her shock after a fan was found dead near the singer's LA mansion.

Police discovered the body of Paula Goodspeed, 30, in a car alongside prescription drugs and pictures of the reality show judge on Tuesday.

It is thought the woman, who once auditioned for American Idol, was obsessed with the star.

‘I am deeply shocked and saddened at what transpired,’ said a statement released by Paula Abdul's publicist. ‘My heart and prayers go out to her family.’

Although an official cause of death has yet to be determined, Detective Robert Bub of the LAPD has suggested it could have been ‘suicide by overdose’.

Paula Goodspeed auditioned on series 5 of the hit US show, but failed to impress Paula, 46, or her fellow judges.
