Actually, the story is deeper than that. I've also read this somewhere else. They tried to keep it quiet but that's impossible.
http://mjsbigblog.com/index.php?s=Jeff+ArchuletaWas Jeff Archuleta Banned from Idol for Trying to Make a Side Deal?We told you last week that Jeff Archuleta had been banned from backstage at Idol for various reasons, including TMZ’s story that he cost the show lots of money when he changed some lyrics to son David Archuleta’s song. The National Ledger now reports that the last straw that got Stage Dad from Hell banned was the fact that he tried to make a side deal with one of Idol’s sponsors while they were on a video shoot. Apparently, Jeff may have tried to get an endorsement deal for David and harassed the sponsors.When people start causing problems, then people start looking into the troublemaker to dig deeper. Not sure about this one, but it's interesting.
http://www.starmagazine.com/david_archulet...buse/news/14185Like I've said before, I feel terribly sorry for David A. The pressure of the finale must be intense but then you have your Dad acting up AGAIN, causing a stir in the media. Grow up Mr. Archuleta, it's not ABOUT you! Of course I'm voting 100% for Cookie, but I truly hope Archie finds success at what he's so good at WITHOUT Dad.
