In what surely will be a perfect storm of gag, “American Idol” alum Clay Aiken and relationship rescuer Dr. Phil are scheduled to meet on Phil’s show Tuesday.
Topic: bullying.
Clay and his mom, Faye Parker, have had a lot to say on the subject, given Clay’s wealth of experience in his school years.
Faye told The Associated Press, “I don’t know that he was bullied so much as he was just ignored.” Clay told Entertainment Weekly, “I actually started convincing myself that wedgies were compliments.”
He told Cosmo Girl, “I got picked on for the way I was dressed. I had Coke-bottle glasses, and my hair was atrocious.”
Note to Clay: To avoid bullying, try talking less to Cosmo Girl.
