Sources imply that Abdul enjoyed being the only female on the panel of judges for the hunt for reality show also felt threatened by Martinez’s presence.

An insider on the show has been quoted as asserting that Abdul didn’t like that „Angie was getting better lines and was so well-liked.” So apparently, Abdul convinced comrade judges Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson to deliver rid of Martinez. Abdul’s publicist has denied reports that she had anything to do with Martinez’s departure and was quoted as saying, „Not only was Paula saddened by her departure, but Angie’s presence was welcomed by Paula.”
Martinez, a singer herself, has said that it was her decision to quit the show. She referred to in a statement, „After judging the pre-eminent few auditions, I’ve decided to leave the show because it became too uncomfortable in that me to tell someone else to grant up their dream.” Maybe it just became too uncomfortable dealing with a jealous Abdul.

Martinez released her debut CD, reinforcement Close besides Personal, forge ahead year. Her 2d CD, Animal House, already has a Top 10 discrepant „If I Could Go.” Maybe getting up close and personal with Abdul unimpeachable to betoken too much for the younger Martinez.
