American Idol Contestant Robbed At Gunpoint (publicity stunt?) http://cbs2.com/topstorie...94548.html
"I was on American Idol at 17, I'm ready to come out with my album and he's holding a gun at my head." (CBS) GRANADA HILLS, Calif. An American Idol contestant was held and robbed at gunpoint while working at a Granada Hills restaurant early Sunday morning, according to a camera crew. The robbery occurred around 12:30 a.m. at the IHOP restaurant on Devonshire near Balboa, according to a camera crew at the scene. Alexis Lopez, who appeared on American Idol's first season years ago as a wildcard contestant, and several employees were inside the restaurant at the time of the robbery, according to a camera crew at the scene. The gunman reportedly hid inside the restaurant before the place closed for the night, said Los Angeles police Officer Billy Joe of the Devonshire Station. The robber held a gun at Lopez's forehead and demanded she open the safe, according to the camera crew. "I had finished counting the money then I was walking in the back and right when I past the stairs, he came down with a gun, held it against my face, said open the safe, snatched the money out of my hand, shut off the light." He kept demanding the combination to the safe and I told him I didn't have it." Lopez said. "I said Shoot me, I don't have it. Then he put the gun at my forehead and all that ran through my mind and I was on American Idol at 17, I'm ready to come out with my album and he's holding a gun at my head," Lopez said. Several employees, including Lopez, were forced to kneel or lie down at gunpoint and the gunman made off with $250 to $450 in cash. | |

I say it is a publicity stunt. because she said she had been there 5 days and she had told the management about the hiding place (on the local news) and she has a new album comming out? so in 5 days she discovers and reports the hiding place and gets robbed a few weeks before her new album? | |

What do you mean "(publicity stunt?)" -- the armed robbery or the fact that someone reported it?
Or are you saying this was staged? Proof. Evidence. Links. Incense & Candles. | |
