13 'American Idol' Contestants Who Quit or Were Removed by Producers, Ranked from First to Most Recent

Frenchie Davis – Season 2

Frenchie Davis was disqualified as a contestant following Hollywood Week of season two when topless photos of her surfaced online.

“When I first discovered that I had made it to Hollywood and found out I would be competing to get into the top 30 and then later in the top 12, they had given us all this paperwork to fill out, background checks and that whole thing,” she said in a past interview. “So when we were doing that I had a discussion with some members of the production staff and I exposed to them a piece of my past; that when I was 19 years old, I took some pictures and that’s not the person I am [anymore]. I wanted to be up-front about it. We talked about it and then nothing happened”

“They had decided that because American Idol was a family show, that they could not have me on the show because of the pictures I had taken –though they had never seen the pictures,” she added.

Corey Clark – Season 2

Corey Clark made it to the Top 9 on American Idol‘s second season, but was disqualified when his undisclosed criminal record came to light.
