Matt Farmer Booted from American Idol for BS War Story
by Hilton Hater at .So much for Matt Farmer being crowned the American Idol Season 12 champion.
Following a successful audition in Long Beach, Farmer has come out and admitted that he's one giant liar.
That whole tale he told? About being injured in an IED explosion in Iraq? And being diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury? And how the medication he was assigned would supposedly make him sterile, until he ended up fathering a daughter named Cadence who joined him in front of the judges?
LIE, LIE, LIE.
"It was ALL lies," Farmer admitted to GuardianOfValor.com. "I in fact HAVE lied since a younger age and had a problem with it...
"I am EXTREAMLY remorseful and VERY upset that I allowed myself to take from the hard work of the guys that i was deployed with among others. To think that I would go on a national TV show and get away with continuing a lie so big, and so deeply imbedded in my lfe [sic] and brain ... Is rediculous [sic].
"Hindsight is always 20/20 ... To EVERYONE but more importantly the men I served with, I AM DEEPLY REGRETFUL AND SORRY ... I at no time was a sniper, was never deployed to Afghanistan, did a single tour in Iraq, and was never at any time hit or wounded by an IED"
Farmer, as you might expect, has been booted from the competition.
So that's one fewer person early favorites such as Ja’Bria Barber and Seretha Guinn need to worry about.

Why is there no [sic] after his misspelling of 'Extremely'? But honestly, there is not enough [sic]'s in the world to fit into such a badly typed up, misspelled mess of a post as he has written. It would be very difficult for him to continue in the competition, really, because the lie was so great, many people would not be able to trust him afterwards. Many others tell a lie, but they are chinese whispers compared to the big one he told.
listen: never trust a guy with loads of tattoos. THEY SAY THE THINGS YOU WANNA HEAR, not the truth!!
If they booted everyone for telling lies or stretching the truth they wouldn't have anyone competing....just sayin... That said...I don't understand why he felt the need to lie. He has a great voice. He served in the military. Nothing else needed to be said...period. I don't agree that he should have been booted though. Yeah it was a crappy thing to do but it isn't illegal to lie and it didn't get him the spot on the show...his voice did.
