Kusian was thrust into the spotlight after Bowersox dramatically broke-up with him 24 hours before last May’s Idol final in which she finished runner-up to Lee DeWyze.

Kusian’s step mom, Pauleen, told RadarOnline.com: “I think the whole world was surprised by Crystal’s announcement but I know that Tony wishes her and her son well for the future.

“They dated for about a year and I don’t think he really wanted the same lifestyle as Crystal in the end – he is from a different planet to that actually.

“But Tony is a really grounded guy and he is surrounded by a lot of family, so, I know that he is going to be okay.”

She added, “Part of this whole American Idol thing and being thrown into a spotlight, people are going to get curious.

“But I don't think any of the people who participated in it would have wanted it to happen to them or their family members. That's disgusting. What if somebody went and did that to their child or sister? Its really saddening and disappointing.”

Bowersox received a formal letter of apology from Ohio Department of Public Safety in July, but said that her father hadn't told her the disconcerting news until she recently returned from the show’s summer arena tour.

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO INTERVIEWS: American Idols Live Tour Members Dish On Who Should Be New Judge


Posted on Aug 13, 2010 @ 10:50PM - 3 comments

The American Idols Live 2010 Tour hit Los Angeles Friday night with the Season 9 contestants performing a concert at the Staples Center.  This was the last group to experience the wrath of Simon Cowell before his retirement, so RadarOnline.com asked them who they think should replaced the judge who became more famous than any of the Idol winners.

“It doesn’t matter who it’s going to be,” the American Idol winner Lee DeWyze told RadarOnline.com.  “The show’s going to go on and be successful.  I think they should just bring in people who aren’t trying to be the next Simon, Kara, Randy or Ellen.”

There were two votes for Harry Connick Jr. by Aaron Kelly and Katie Stevens, and she also liked the idea of Steven Tyler joining the show.  Casey James told RadarOnline.com the next judge should be “Bret Michaels, because I like him.” 

Andrew Garcia
and “Big Mike” Lynch each thought THEY should be the judges, cracking themselves up with the idea.

A relative of Tony Kusian has told RadarOnline.com that his family is ‘sad’ that he has split-up with American Idol runner-up Crystal Bowersox.

Bowersox dropped the bombshell on Ryan Seacrest’s morning show that she had called it quits with her boyfriend who had been with her in Los Angeles recently.

The talented performer told the Idol host that the decision was mutual and her boyfriend went home because he wasn't cool with "the lifestyle."

"He didn't think he was up for it," Bowersox told Seacrest of her boyfriend.

Bowersox claimed the breakup helped fuel the emotion in her standout performance of Up to the Mountain in the final against Idol winner Lee Dewyze.

Tony’s uncle Fred Kusian told RadarOnline: “It sad they were a sweet couple and I met Crystal a few times and everybody liked her.

“Tony is a pretty quiet person and he has a good job as an engineer here in Ohio, so, maybe he didn’t like the limelight that much.

“He really dotted on Crystal’s little boy Tony and they had been together for sometime which is a shame.

“I want what they want - whatever makes them happy - who knows what will happen because the path of true love never runs smoothly.”

Viewers of Idol this season regularly saw Kusian in the audience cheering-on his talented girlfriend who was the favorite to win this year’s competition.

Ironically, the biological father of her young son is also called Tony but he now lives overseas.
