An American Idol reject who "Kanye'd" Dane Cook during the American Idol finale has accused the stand-up comedian of calling him a “f*ggot” during a profane anti-gay outburst.

During his Idol performance last month, Cook was serenading judge Simon Cowell with an original satire song called "Simon Said," when Ian Bernardo - a castoff from season seven's early audition rounds - grabbed the microphone.

"Who cares? It's all about Ian Benardo tonight!" the interrupting reject said on national television.
