Mario Vasquez Accused of Sexual Harassment by American Idol Employee

According to TMZ.com, a male employee of Fremantle Media (which produces American Idol) has filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against former American Idol contestant Mario Vasquez, FOX Entertainment, and Fremantle, alleging an incident occurred in the bathroom on the set of American Idol shortly before Vasquez dropped out of the competition.

There have been internet rumors for years that Vasquez is gay, but this takes it to a whole new level. The TMZ article details what the lawsuit alleges in fairly graphic detail, so if you think you're ready for it, you can click here.

Although it is entirely possible that these allegations are false, it will be very interesting to see what Vasquez's response to this is, and what kind of other information about him will start, um, coming out. In the age of Perez Hilton it shouldn't take too long.

Stay tuned for more details...
