Naomi Judd: Archuleta has “the worst stage dad”
April 23, 2008 — archuletafanNaomi Judd knows about being a stage parent and thinks David Archuleta’s dad might be the worst.
The Can You Duet? judge said she first encountered the American Idol seventh-season finalist and his dad Jeff when the now 17-year-old David was a Star Search contestant in 2003 and she was serving as a judge on the show.
“I want to give a shout out to his dad. Leave [David] alone,” said Judd during NBC’s Today broadcast on Thursday morning. “His dad is like the worst stage dad… They had to put him in the security guard’s little box.”
