American Idol's foul mouth hoochie-shaker Rhonetta Johnson is already a star in Charlotte, North Carolina - at least with the Mecklenburg County Sheriff's office.

Two months before the American Idol auditions rolled into Greensboro, North Carolina in October of 2005, Johnson was arrested in the Charlotte area. She was charged with DWI, driving with a revoked license, open container, and providing fictitious information to an officer which, given her rather dubious claim of being 5' 7" and 165 lbs, might account for the later charge.

Nearly two months after Simon, Paula, Randy, and Ryan left Greensboro, Rhonetta was arrested again. On November 26, 2005 she was charged with DWI and all the rest of the offenses previously listed and for good measure she added larceny, disorderly conduct, communicating threats, and resisting arrest into the mix. She also claimed to be two inches shorter (likely) and 30 lbs lighter (highly unlikely) than she was when arrested in August 2005. It's worth noting that she was also charged with providing fictitious information to an officer in the later arrest as well.

The last mugshot is for a November 2003 probation violation, where it also looks like she's got her own personal Ike Turner dishing out "tough love" musical training.

Since two DWI convictions are likely to leave Rhonetta with an impounded car and no chance at having a drivers license any time soon (which hasn't stopped her recently), she'll have to do a lot more street walking in the future. Based on her bombastic performance Tuesday's edition of American Idol one suspects that she will excel in that field...

Update: As was helpfully pointed out in the comment section, we did miss one - a July 2005 arrest for indecent exposure...

Update 2: If you missed the original airing, you can watch Rhonetta's segment via the magic of You Tube, (via Just Jared)...

Not Funny:

I lived a few doors down from Rhonetta, she left her 4 year old autistic son alone nights when she went to work with no food in the house. Twice the cops were called out because he was found wandering near the pond on the golf course with no clothes on. The second time, the cops went into the home after not being able to find her for three hours and found one seriously filthy mattress (I know, I saw it when they cleaned the place out) a fridge full of rotten food, and a burned out stove that caught fire a few weeks earlier when she was passed out. Social Services took the child away in August of 05, and it took the cops three days to find her. After that all she could say to those of us who live nearby was "Who's been bad mouthing me to DSS?" I too, would think this is all funny if it weren't for the fact that there's a 4 year old with developmental disabilities out there whose mother abandoned him. Not that he's not better off without her, he was always dirty and wouuld run around in the parking lot in the middle of the night. I swear if she gets one more moment of fame or money from this, I will personally go on a crusade against the media producers behind it.

Seasons:

She knew she did not stand a chance at singing, her own intentions were to curse out Paula. She never addressed "her" issues with Paula while in Paula's presenece. She wanted the attention from low life pimps. This was all part of her hustle. I'll give her props, because she did exactly what she planned and will be contacted for many sexual favors. She's about to make a little bit of money. She was humorous without realizing it. We'll hear from her again, it's all about "CHARACTER".

TheresaK:

When she said she was going to be bigger than JLo or Janet, I looked at my husband & said, "She is." Then when Simon said, "You are," I nearly fell off my chair laughing! Her cursing out of Paula was amazing since Paula was the only one who was nothing but kind to her. As for her comment that she's "gonna set this town on fire," I don't doubt it. With all the charges she's racking up, arson can't be far behind.

Oh my goodness............ ... (Below threshold)
MsNikki:

Oh my goodness............ that's all I can say. It was funny but also very sad. Obviously this chick needs some kind of mental help. She also needs serious etiquette lessons. She portrayed the stereotype that some have about blacks - thtat we're loud, brash, crass, rude and ghetto with no manners or home training. I can't even get on how she dressed. Some dude somewhere told her that how she dressed was cute and that she looked good. Whoever that dude is should be locked up in the room next to her at the mental hospital......... Please believe that all blacks are not like that. The majority of us aren't. She was just dead wrong for even stepping foot in that room. American Idol was wrong for focusing so much on her. That didn't help either. Had they just shown a little part of her, it wouldn't have seemed soooooooooo bad. But I guess they do what they have to for ratings, huh?

Fox thrives on airing crap like this. I think that it's poor judgement to even let her audition. There must be a better screening process. They should also open the competition up to all ages. It's discrimination. Rhobetta needs to be put in jail. I am glad that her son now has a safe haven.

NurseB:

This girl obviously has no connection to reality. It has nothing to do with her race. From what I saw, I'd say she is either manic/depressive or shitzophrenic (drugs and alcohol probably only contribute to her mental issues). It's sad. She definitely needs professional help, taken off the street for sure and admitted to a facility.
Fox really needs to re-focus on the talent they have coming into their auditions. I cetainly do not tune in to see pathetic tirades like 'Ronetta' gave.

SimplyDivine:

This is to Jack who commented on January 29, 2006: It is evident that ignorance is breeded in individuals such as yourself. Her ethinicity has no baring on her character yet your only descriptives relied on your KKK definitions of African-American individuals. I don't recall slavery, hangings, beatings, separating families and the continued racist and oppressed views of others as being considered handouts and special treatments. What you have done in your comment regarding one person has regressed the movement for unity of all people back to your great grandfather's time. I imagine this is where you were taught to hate and degrade others who were unlike yourself, however, you failed to admit to the use of "the hated" to quest your as well as your ancestor's sexual desires. Victor Frankl stated it best in his book "Man's Search for Meaning" when he noted there were two races: the decent man and the indecent man. Based on your use of this forum to voice racist views about an individual who has psychological and substance abuse issues that transcend ethnicity, you are definitely an indecent man. God help your race! And look up the concept of "white privilege". It may help you. It did me.

YOUNGLAWYER:

Well, after reading all of the info about Ms. Johnson I believe that when she does get out of jail she should get a lawyer. Why? Because this is an exploitation of her. Putting her personel business out like this for all of the world to see. She should hire a damn good lawyer. I'm pretty sure that she did not give consent for whomever to put her arrest record on-line. And please leave that poor, innocent child out of this. He or she has gone through enough. If you cannot offer any words of guidance or encouragement to this young woman then you should reexamine yourself. Are you a negative or positive force in this world? It is clear that she needs some help. So we as the positive Americans we are should pray and make sure that young Americans such as Rhonetta receive psychiatric help, so that they don't scream for attention or make complete fools of themselves on national TV.

notalawyer:

I believe that all court records are public record. Could be wrong. Facts are facts, if she didnt want her stuff spread out into the world, she shouldnt have put her face on the tv to begin with. Once you sign the papers and step infront of the cameras, you are a public figure, and will be scrutinized beyond all imagination. Secrets will come out, and stories told, both good and bad. Hopefully this will be a wakeup call to her and she will get counseling, help and her life straigtened out. At least I hope she does.

FreeUrSelf:

This is to SimplyDivine-

What exactly makes you any better than Jack? You are both bigoted and self-righteous. Just as one person's comments do not create the reality of an entire race, another's claim that it "has regressed the movement for unity of all people" does not make it so. Human beings are capable of incredible atrocities (against themselves and others) as well as remarkable acts of compassion. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. I applaud your interest in history, but perhaps you need to dig a bit deeper- you're missing the lessons she has to teach us.

The diagnosis is narcissism... (Below threshold)
MamaBeaj:

The diagnosis is narcissism. Her drug use has led to a break from reality. In "her world", she really is beautiful and talented. If the individual who wrote about her child is speaking the truth, I pray that he is safe with a caring loving foster family. She may be able to get enough help some day to be a part of his life, but right now she doesn't even see the need for it. And until she does, sadly he is better off without her...as long as he landed somewhere safe....which, with our foster system, is unlikely but possible. Such a sad sad thing.

The narcissism, by the way, explains why her attacks were almost solely against Paula. She doesn't feel threatened by men...she needs their approval. Paula, being the only female, was a threat to her.

sexy bitch:

i think this bitch rocks. she could have shown a little more ass and went with the see through top. but all in all she turns me on and makes me want to shread the small amount of clothing she wears and fuck the hell out of her! and the long rap sheet makes her even sexier. i love a bad ass bitch...

SomeOfYouScareMe:

To Meany: Your comment, "The face of American Black womanhood." bears further proof to the reason this country is in the condition it is. Not only is it racist, but compassionless. This woman is obviously mentally ill and that transcends all races. I suspect you may suffer a form of mental illness yourself, but I can only speculate. Regardless, the only thing anyone should be judging this woman on is her lack of talent. She has none, but her race has no bearing on that fact.

Grow up and join the human race!

Cheryl Robinson:

I think we as Black women need to pray for our sisters, that they will come in out of the rain and recapture the essence of who we are. We don't need to down one another we need to uplift one another. We are downed enough by other forces in this world and we do not need to jump on the bandwagon. I truly feel sorry for this young woman she obviously has problems.

windycitybrotha:

4 all itz worth, ya'll gotta step back and realise that a game iz bein' played by both 19/fremantle and ms johnson. tha 19/fremantle peepz are out 2 entertain at all costz, and after four seazonz of showin' us all kindza wannabe talent in tha pre-hollywood phaze, they'll show ANYONE doin' ANYTHING if it meanz tha ratingz stay up. enter a "character" (and i use that word becauze a good deal of what she doez could all b an act) like ms johnson, who willingly signz a release of some sort so she can't turn around and pursue legal recourse 4 whatever they do in their quest 2 "entertain" u. now all she wantz iz 2 b a star; i imagine she wantz 2 b a great singer, but that won't happen soon, if at all. but tha bottom line iz that, with this and many other message boardz, forumz and unofficial websitez, she iz now among tha hottest topix of discussion. not solely in north cack (and i can say that 'cauze i waz born there), but tha WORLD (or at least tha partz of it that even give half a damn about 'idol'). her past can b questioned. her singing ability izn't steller. her choice of apparel garnerz tha reaction she wantz. and yeah - her attitude can't b ignored. but after all of this, she pretty much got what she wanted - tha girl iz a star. call her anything in tha book that she seemingly exemplifiez - hell, call her a sellout 4 misreprezentin' black folx - but she standz 2 b a BIGGER "star" than william hung ever dreamed. in your hatred, she iz revered. in your complimentz, albeit sparse, she iz revered.

ms johnson, 4 az long az your star shinez, run with it. just don't trip over your own foresight.

April Lizardi:

I just wanted to say I grew up with Ms. Ronetta, she has all ways been this way. Her mom died when she was young so she has never had a real mother figure in her life. I hateto see her like this. Her sister cut me in the face years ago , because she was jealous of me and my family. She always thought she was a star. She knows who I am if she can go back to the days on "park drive" and "Reid street" . Projects.All I can say is please get help girl you were always special in your own way just tone it downnn!!!

windycitybrotha:

ms johnson, i saw u TRY 2 do "nobody's supposed to be here" on fox-charlotte'z "edge". u may have a talent - it just ain't singin'. u didn't project your voice, u didn't make me "feel it", and u didn't hold pitch very well. now, i TRIED 2 side with u, overlook thingz in your past, and even pretend 2 b enamored with your attitude. in all truth, you're neither fat nor ugly, but that'z just my preference. but in tha end, simon, randy and paula were dead on with their assessment of your apparent talent.

in tha world'z eyez, u played yourself out az a singer and in az a comic relief, just like william hung. in my eyez, i c a black kitten who just got knocked off tha top of tha highest tree, and i fervently pray that u figure it out soon so u can land on your feet. tha choice iz yourz. peace.

Jassmin004:

To Anyone bringing up race in regards to this Rhonetta girl, it is not necessary. I wouldn't have cared if she were white,yellow or polka- dotted-the way she presented herself was dead wrong and should be embarrassing to ALL American woman. Rhonetta didn't represent black woman, she represented a delusional,messed up person, and THAT COMES IN ALL COLORS,RACES, & ETHNIC GROUPS.

Melinda and Brentt:

kali:

Ronetta is a smart ass bitch. she knows exactly what's going on especially on this website. Give it a couple of months, she will be making more money than all of our asses because we are pumping this situation up. So like Lil Kim say Shut the fuck up bitch...stop judging others and worry about yourselves..Only God can judge her..

TORONTO:

I LOVE RHONETTA... SHE GOT GUTS, SHE GOES AND GETS WHAT SHE WANTS. SHE DESERVES A CHANCE. PARIS HILTON IS FAMOUS FOR WHAT, EXCUSE ME? SHE EVEN HAD A PORN VIDEO OF HERSELF AND STILL GOT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN CONTRACTS AND EVEN A RECORD DEAL..... JUST BECAUSE SHE'S WHITE AND RICH SHE'S BETTER THAN RONNETTA?

I DON'T THINK SO.... SO BOW DOWN, BITCH!

A very concerned singer:

Someone get this woman Rhonetta a seat on Oprah! She's got issues and refuses to deny any form of constructive criticism about her AWFUL singing! If it were up to me, I'd tell her to spend the next five years next to a piano.

KB:

Everyone is saying "She needs help!, she needs help!" When the truth is probably she has been offered more help in her life than anyone on this board. She has chosen not to accept any help, or has abused the help she has received. God calls us to help people like this, but he doesn't expect us to be door mats and be stepped on by abusive people. There comes a time when people like this need to be left alone to their own end; and prayer is all that can be done.
