Did Ryan Seacrest personally convince a homesick Crystal Bowersox not to quit American Idol three weeks ago? Or was the whole thing just a ginned-up story leaked to TMZ by an anonymous Ryan Seacrest? In a radio interview, Idol castoff Katelyn Epperley says she texted Bowersox over the weekend to ask if she was okay, and Bowersox texted back, “I’m fine betrayed by Seacrest!” We hope this will serve as a lesson to any of our readers considering sharing their feelings with Ryan Seacrest.
