06/23/09 ON AOL TELEVISION "I don't think you can blame Simon for what happened with Susan. And I'll tell you why. It's because people are so fascinated with these shows. And when you're on top, eventually people are going to want to knock you down. Susan was an anomaly because it went to viral online ... [People] see this woman who doesn't look the part, isn't Hollywood beautiful, comes out and has a good voice and we're supposed to be shocked by that? ... I don't think they should be shocked ... Simon takes the blame for it simply because he's the producer and one of the judges ... But he can't send someone out into the world of susperstardom, who isn't prepared to be there ... What's going to happen with Susan, I don't know. There's talk of her coming on 'America's Got Talent.' I'd love to see her. But I think there's some personal stuff going on there. I think there's stuff we don't know about. I hope she can work through them without people really digging so deep into her life that she feels like she has no where else to go."  |  Popeater
