Alas, not every post-American Idol story ends in record deals and sellout tours—for every Carrie Underwood or Kelly Clarkson, there is a Jessica Sierra, the husky-voiced, bad-girl contestant from the show's fourth season who's had repeated run-ins with the law since being ejected from the karaoke showcase Eden without so much as a creepy, lingering embrace and promise of, "I'll be in touch," from Clive Davis. But nothing has yet compared to Sierra's performance Saturday night, after being taken into custody outside a Tampa bar for "cocaine possession, battery, and disorderly intoxication." From The Smoking Gun:

She kicked one cop and told another, "You're a dick-sucking faggot."

After being stuffed in a Tampa Police Department patrol car, the 22-year-old Sierra vomited in the back seat. And she told one female officer, "You fucking bitch, I'll kick your ass. I'll fuck you up, you whore." [...]

As she was being driven to central booking, Sierra said the arrest would ruin her life, adding she would do anything to be let go. Specifically, Sierra said, "Please don't take me to jail, I'll suck your dick if you don't take me to jail." After that offer was apparently declined, Sierra said, "Fuck you, nigger" several times, according to the report. More vomiting followed upon arrival at the Hillsborough County lockup, where the 2005 "American Idol" finalist "continued acting disorderly, yelling profanities and racial slurs."

Now that we're aware of just what it is the aspiring singer is capable of, it would be an understatement to say that we're relieved she didn't succumb to some of her rage-management issues before the Idol judges, responding to Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul's complaints of "pitchiness" and "not finding her individual style," with a couple of ill-placed n-words and a huffy, "I'll fuck you up, you whore," before dropping to her knees and begging to service Simon Cowell (who'd briefly consider the offer before rejecting Sierra for "not being commercial enough"). And good news, reality TV trainwreck lovers: Sierra is one of VH1's Celebrity Rehab cast members, where we'll all hopefully be able to enjoy drunken arrest rants so offensive, they'll make Mel Gibson's seem like the tittering gibberish of a tipsy grandma who's sneaked a couple of sips of cooking sherry.
