America’s Got Talent won’t air performance by the couple that sued it
Earlier this week, we reported that the producers of NBC’s America’s Got Talent were getting sued by a couple of contestants, largely over new host Tyra Banks’ treatment of their underage daughter. (Banks apparently mocked a song the girls’ parents wrote about her to her face, and implied that her conception was an accident.) “Jane and John Doe”’s major request was that their whole segment be scrapped, claiming that their daughter was “traumatized” over the thought of the song being broadcast on national TV. At the time, Marathon Productions agreed to cut out footage of the daughter, but insisted on still airing the song (and, presumably, the subsequent mockery).
