Antonella Barba
Antonella Barba (born November 26, 1986) is a singer and former American Idol contestant turned villainess.
Career edit
Antonella participated in the sixth season of American Idol in 2007, finishing in the top 16 before she was eliminated. During her time on the show, she faced backlash due to semi-nude photos being leaked, and the show received more controversy when Antonella was allowed to continue on the show when past contestant Frenchie Davis was ousted for the same reason. Following her elimination from Idol, Antonella's music career blossomed and continued on for another decade.
Criminal History edit
Antonella was arrested in December 2010 and charged with a pair of misdemeanors when she was caught shoplifting a pair of gloves from an Urban Outfitters in Manhattan, after which she ordered to complete a day of community service. Antonella turned heel again in 2018, when she became part of a drug ring and delivered two pounds of fentanyl from Washington D.C. to Norfolk. She was arrested in October of that year after she was found with 830.9 grams of fentanyl in her car, and was charged with possession and intent to sell. The villainess denied the charges against her. In July 2019, Antonella pleaded guilty and admitted to her role in the ring.
On November 21, 2019, Antonella was sentenced to 45 months in federal prison. In addition, Antonella was also ordered to undergo five years of supervised release once her sentence ends.
