Jermaine Jones, one of the 12 remaining " American Idol" finalists is to be dropped from the show for allegedly concealing a criminal record and outstanding warrants from producers.
Producers discovered Tuesday that Jermaine had lied about his criminal history, and that triggered the decision to confront him on camera Tuesday afternoon.
Jones was charged in 2011 with two crimes, including one that allegedly involved violence.
In both cases, Jones gave a false name to police when placed under arrest, according to sources.
In addition, the "gentle giant" reportedly has outstanding warrants that were also concealed from "Idol" producers.
The dad denied the singer's claims, and said he saw his son regularly. "Idol" producers became suspicious when Jones began tweeting that he never told producers his dad had left him.
Shortly after news broke, Jermaine twitted, “Awww I will no longer b on the show.”
