Paula Begged American Idol producers to keep stalker away
In an interview on Barbara Live! with Barbara Walters on Sirius XM Monday night, Paula Abdul said, “This girl is a stalker of mine. Please do not let her in. Everyone knew. I was shaking.”
However, despite her pleas, Paula Goodspeed, who “had been writing disturbing letters for 17 years, almost 18 years” including naked photos and letters threatening “bodily harm,” was ushered in by the producers.
In early November, Goodspeed was found dead outside Adbul’s home. People magazine is reporting that since the apparent suicide outside her California home, Abdul has not slept in the house.
Abdul said of the producers, it must have been “fun for them to cause me stress.”
Goodspeed, a self-proclaimed super-fan kept showing up at the audition and finally followed Abdul home. Abdul went on to say “we had restraining orders at times.”
Various media reports attempted to reach Fox, however so far no word from the producers of the show.
So why does she stay, Walters asked Adbul that question… her reply, “Well, I’m under contract.”
