Simon Says Idol Scandal is "Disgraceful"

Though not a word was uttered on last night's Americal Idol broadcast regarding contestant Antonella Barba's racy web-strewn photos, judge Simon Cowell spoke out to People about the controversy.

"I think it's disgraceful that so-called friends would sell these pictures," he said. "It's private property. I really, really have a problem with that – big problem."

The New Jersey girl has been facing major ridicule since said photos surfaced last week. Barba's best bud and fellow American Idol auditioner, Amanda Coluccio, has insisted the most damaging photos are not her friend.

I've seen the pics and I really don't see the big deal (barring that the really dirty ones aren't her).
What do you think?
