Antonella Barba says she knows about dealing with a provocative photo scandal. Barba, a former ‘American Idol’ contestant offered some advice to Amy Polumbo, who was at the center of her own racy-photo scandal less than a month after being crowned Miss New Jersey. “I used to say ‘Cover your tracks,’ but it really should be, ‘Don’t make tracks that need to be covered,’” Barba said. “Once anything is online, it’s free reign.” Polumbo revealed that someone was trying to blackmail her into resigning her crown by threatening to release embarrassing photos that she had previously posted on her Facebook webpage. Polumbo acknowledged that some of the photos showed her “not in a ladylike manner,” but none of the photos featured nudity. The Miss New Jersey pageant board decided not take away her crown. Barba’s photo scandal was similar, as ‘Idol’ producers said they had no intentions of disqualifying her from the competition and she was subsequently eliminated by viewer votes.”I feel so bad for Polumbo,” Barba said. “I’ve been in the same situation she’s been in. It disgusts me, people’s interest in the dirt and trying to bring somebody down.”"We just want to prevent this from happening to someone else,” Barba said.
