On the heels of the reveal that Ramiele Malubay has a “racy” pic or two out there, it has come to light that for three years, 24-year-old David Hernandez worked as a stripper at Dick’s Cabaret (what a name!) in Glendale, Arizona, where he danced nude and gave lap dances to a mostly male clientèle. Many are wondering how this revelation will affect David's chances with the voting public, or if American Idol producers will have to let him go.

TVGuide.com: Will the revelations about David’s stripper past have any impact on whether
he stays on the show?

Ken Warwick: No, it won’t make any difference. The truth is, we’re never judgmental about what people do to earn a living. They’ve got to put food in people’s mouths. We’ve had strippers on the show before. Nikki McKibbon was one in [Season] 1. We’re never judgmental about people who do things like that. If it were some sort of heavy porn, then maybe we’d have to take action. But certainly not on this.

TVGuide.com: Were you aware of his past before it was reported?

Warwick: No, I wasn’t. [Laughs] But the truth of the matter is, it wouldn’t have made any difference. There are a lot of people I know who’d love to have the opportunity just to make a better living by taking their clothes off.
