No one has fought this hard for Paula Abdul since the cartoon cat in the video for “Opposites Attract.”

In an interview with Radar Online, Janice Thibodeaux – the nut job that attacked Simon Cowell’s ex-girlfriend, Terri Seymour, on Monday night – provided a motive for her choke job:

“I wasn’t cool with Simon Cowell choking Paula Abdul on the show last week and with her crying-out ‘help’ as he did so,” Thibodeaux said.  “Nobody said anything about that so I wanted to confront him about it because that is not appropriate behavior, is it?”

Thibodeaux wasn’t done fitting herself for a straight jacket explaining what happened:

“She was taking some photographs with her camera and I knew she was his girlfriend so I went up to her to tell her how I felt. We started arguing and then I put my hands around her neck and started choking her just like Simon had done with Paula. Then, I walked away and I was tackled by the police, but I don’t regret what I did because of what Simon did to Paula, nobody seemed to care about that.”

To paraphrase Britney Spears in “Womanizer:” You want crazy, folks? Janice Thibodeaux has got your crazy!
