- Antonella Maria Barba (born November 26, 1986) is an American singer. Born in Santa Monica, California and raised in Point Pleasant, New Jersey, Barba rose to prominence while competing on the sixth season of American Idol. She attracted media scrutiny after semi-nude photos of her were leaked online. The show was criticized for allowing Barba to continue to compete when producers had disqualified second season contestant Frenchie Davis under similar circumstances. Eliminated after advancing to the top 16, Barba returned to Catholic University of America to complete a Bachelor of Science degree in architecture. She then worked as a spokesperson for the non-partisan organization ElectionMall before further pursuing a music career. She released original music and covers through her YouTube and SoundCloud accounts. Between 2011 and 2012, she was a singer for the Los Angeles rock band LA-eX, which included two Crazy Town members. She also contributed to a cover of John Lennon's "Imagine" (1971) for a 2014 UNICEF campaign, and appeared in a 2018 segment of Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Apart from her music career, she has acted in several short films, competed on Fear Factor, and played a minor role in the 2017 film All About the Money. In December 2010, she was charged with two misdemeanors for shoplifting for which she served community service. She was arrested in October 2018 in Norfolk, Virginia, on a felony charge of distributing more than 100 grams (3.5 ounces) of heroin. In February 2019, she was indicted on 11 federal charges for possession of cocaine, heroin, and fentanyl and acting as a courier for a drug ring. Despite initially denying these charges, she pleaded guilty in July 2019 to distributing synthetic opioids, and was sentenced to three years and nine months in federal prison in November 2019. (en)
