Imagine being on a huge TV show and, all of a sudden, people start believing you are six years older than you really are. That is the unbelievable problem John Foster, the fan-favorite on American Idol, had to fix. Earning a spot in the Top 10 brought fame, but it also brought a sudden flood of crazy, untrue stories that could hurt his new career if he ignored them.
These small rumors, like being from Benton, Kentucky, or being twenty-four, can quickly become “facts” when they spread online. John knew he had to stop the snowballing misinformation fast. His quick action showed that today’s artists must be their own voice, protecting their image before false stories have a chance to stick.
