Jessica
Sierra Dropped From Tribute Gig Line Up
12/10/07
Former American
Idol contestant Jessica Sierra's legal troubles have cost her dear -
she has been dropped from the line-up for a special tribute concert for
U.S. troops.
Sierra is currently being held in a Florida jail after a drunken bar
brawl last weekend (01Dec07) which resulted in charges of disorderly
intoxication, resisting arrest and violating conditions of her parole on
earlier felony battery and possession charges - all of which she has
denied.
But her latest offences have forced the Move America Forward organization
to cut all ties with the disgraced 22-year-old and cancel her appearance
at their A Song for Their Service gig later this month (Dec07), reports
TMZ.
A statement released by the group's vice president says, "It is
quite obvious that Ms. Sierra needs to devote a great deal of time to
putting her life back together.
"We wish Jessica Sierra all the best in her path towards
overcoming her addictions, but that path does not include participation in
the 'A Song for Their Service' concert."
Sierra has also been caught up in a sex tape scandal, after a major
porn distributor announced plans to release a blue movie featuring the
singer by the end of the year (07).
