American Idol Contestant In Jail With No Bail
Three years ago, American Idol contestant Jessica Sierra was on top of the world. She had a shot at winning the contest and even if she did not, she had generated enough attention to gain the interest of other possibly interested music companies.
In her American Idol interview she stated that her goals were:
My main goal in life is to succeed at whatever I put my heart into. I want to become the best I can be, and know that no matter where life takes me I will be happy. I know that as long as I have done my best, and in some way achieved the goals I have set before me, then I have succeeded.
I wonder if that is still true for Jessica. Earlier this year, she was arrested for battery (she hit a man in the head with a glass at a Tampa nightclub in April) and possession of cocaine. She walked after that offense straight into the arms of VH1 and their tv show, Rehab With Dr Drew. Last weekend, she was arrested for
disorderly intoxication, resisting arrest and violating parole. Jessica appeared before the judge today and bond was not offered to her. She will have to stay in jail until trial. She is facing 11 years for violating parole.
The photos above offer a sort of photographic timeline of Jessica's downhill spiral.
Was Jessica on the right path after her first brush with the law? Yes and no. She was actually working at the bar where she was arrested (Full Moon Saloon in Tampa, Florida). Score one, she had a job. Unfortunately, she also had cocaine with her. Oooops. She did attend rehab after her first arrest. But, it was actually a reality show with some 'rehab' elements like Dr Drew thrown in. Strike two. Overall, Jessica is very likely an unbalanced young person in need of real help and not 'reality' tv.
