Former "American Idol" finalist Mario Vasquez is facing accusations that he
tried to masturbate in front of a male employee in a bathroom on the set of
the hit show in February 2005.

Shortly thereafter, Vasquez mysteriously dropped out of "Idol," citing
personal reasons.

According to the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court and
obtained by TMZ, Vazquez allegedly "sexually harassed" Magdaleno Olmos,
assistant accountant for Fremantle Media, company that produces American Idol.

In the lawsuit, Olmos claims "Vazquez stared lasciviously, smiled
lasciviously ... and on one occasion followed him into a bathroom ... knocked
on the door of the plaintiff's stall and made eye contact through the space
in the stall door."

The lawsuit alleges that Vazquez "started to rub his genitals over his pants.
Attempting to leave the bathroom, Olmos opened the door of the stall and saw
Vazquez standing in front of him with his pants down masturbating."

According to the documents, Vazquez pushed Olmos "further into the stall and
continued masturbating with one hand and trying to pull down Olmos' pants
with another hand."

Olmos claims that he tried to "cover his body with his hands" but Vazquez
touched his "chest and stomach underneath his shirt, and Olmos' "genitals" as
Vazquez "attempted to unzip" Olmos' pants.

Vazquez then allegedly asked Olmos "if he wanted oral sex."

In the lawsuit, Olmos claims that as he "managed to get out of the stall, and
attempted to leave the bathroom," Vazquez, grabbed his arm "in an effort to
stop him." Vazquez continued to call Olmos to come back as Vazquez "stood in
the bathroom with his pants still down."

In the suit, Olmos claims that he tried to report the incident to a superior
named Eric LaPointe, who allegedly responded by telling Olmos that "he was
crazy" and "repeatedly threatening to fire" him. A few months after the
incident, Olmos claims he was "terminated."

In addition to suing Vazquez, Olmos has named FOX Entertainment and Fremantle
Media as defendants in his lawsuit for wrongful termination.

Reps from FOX tell TMZ, "We haven't been served, but we wouldn't comment on
pending litigation."

Calls to Vazquez's attorney, and reps from "American Idol" on behalf of the
defendants, have not yet been returned.

當然有雷啊! 我是先踩雷知道誰被淘汰之後才去看的, 但是無損本集的精彩度。 我雖然並不喜歡Romber,因為我不是很喜歡他們在第七季的樣子, 也一向喜歡看爆冷門,所以本來一直蠻希望看他們被淘汰的! 但是,我看完這集對於他們被淘汰覺得非常的遺憾, 因為我覺得這集因為是他 ...
