The True Story Behind Antonella's Scandalous Photos

See the Antonella pics here. 

Former American Idol contender, and Antonella Barba's best friend, Amanda Coluccio says, "the pornographic" photos on the Internet "are not Antonella."

And after taking the naughty shots of "Antonella" right in the middle of oral fixation, Amanda's got proof..... "I've studied them....She's never had [acrylic nail] tips in her life," Amanda insists. And we all know that the "tips" don't lie."

"She's the least slutty person I know," Amanda added. But if the faux French manicure wasn't enough to set the record straight of "Slutty Antonella," the roving reporter in Antonella put her nose to the ground and came up with even more evidence to clear her currently censored friend's name:

 "It's not the same nose, it's not the same face," she says of the girl in the pictures.

But what about those shots captured of a scantily clad Antonella in various states of disrobing?

"They were meant for one person ... her boyfriend," Amanda explains. Antonella's BFF also believes those photos were stolen from her computer at Catholic University and distributed online.

"She's not just there because she's pretty. She does have talent." And, for now, she still has a spot in the top 20." And Amanda isn't the only Jersey Girl rushing Boo-Hoo Barba's defense.

“It’s a real wake-up call for a lot of people,” said Dave Della Terza of Chicago, who runs VoteForTheWorst.com.

Della Terza’s site posted photos Monday that he claims confirm the woman in the sex photo is not Barba. Close-ups of the right ear of the woman in the sex photo, and a photo known to be of Barba, show differently shaped ears.

Various members of Antonella's hometown of Point Pleasant, New Jersey, which sixty miles outside Atlantic City, are proclaiming the girl who bared her booty on veteran's memorial as a "role model:"

Jacqui Reid, a Jersey florist whose daughter took violin lessons from Antonella, said making the photos public was a gross invasion of privacy, but one that has become a fact of life in the digital age.

“Everyone has incriminating photos of one sort or another, and you never know when it’s going to turn around and bite you on the you-know-what,” she said. “It’s a shame you can’t just live your life and not have to worry about something like this becoming public.

“She’s this attractive, talented girl who’s also intelligent and knows where she wants to go,” Reid said. “I consider her a role model for my daughter."

And when it comes to the The Antonella Barba Scandal, the masses here at D.S split right down the middle.

According to the results of our "What Do YOU Think About Antonella's Near Nakie Photos," an even split of forty-five percent of folks think that A.B ought to be sent back to picking flowers in the Garden State while another forty-five percent want to keep Antonella around in hopes that some more photos will emerge of the college coed stripping on another national shrine to veterans. We hear they're looking for pole dancers over at the Lincoln Memorial.
