It seems Paula Abdul felt that the American Idol management doesn't value her contribution for the talent show's success. After Ryan Seacrest had signed a lucrative deal (three-year $45 million), and Simon Cowell is reportedly will be signing $100 million deal, Paula thinks a "substantial raise" is fair enough.
Paula who is reportedly earning between $2 and $3 million a year in her previous season was offered by the AI producers a 30 percent raise and an eight-figure, multi-year deal.
Feeling unappreciated, According to the Hollywood Reporter, Abdul asked for about $20 million to continue with the show.
It seems the speculations last season for DioGuardi arrival in AI as a "insurance policy" if Abdul will leave becomes a reality
