Contestation is brewing in the wake of last night's "American Idol" season finale - and it has nothing to do with the conflict between champ Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina.
Seemingly, there was some behind-the-scenes trouble with last season's winner, Lee DeWyze.
DeWyze was sitting several rows back in the audience and not direct acknowledged during the telecast, leading some observers to think something had gone down.
The plot calloused earlier today.
the show's executive producer, Nigel Lythgoe,, tweeted, "I was so upset Lee DeWyze wouldn't present the winner’s trophy to Scotty. Especially as he'd been on the show this Season. I guess he was shy."
Did DeWyze really refuse to take part in McCreery's coronation?
According to the Season 9 winner, that's not just what happened.
"Just for the record… I was not asked to be involved in the Finale," DeWyze tweeted early on this evening.
"It wasn't until about 2 minutes before they announced [the winner] that Nigel had approached me and asked if he could 'borrow' me for a second. I didnt feel a last second jump on stage was appropriate. It was Scotty's moment."
"I appreciate American Idol, and the opportunity it has given me. And the people who have made that show possible."
"I am not angry, or bitter etc. It was an amazing Finale, and I would have loved to be a part of it. I just wasnt asked."
DeWyze also congratulated both McCreery and Alaina.
