David Hernandez’s previous employment as a male stripper apparently isn’t grounds for the ‘American Idol’ seventh-season semifinalist to be disqualified from the competition.”No, it won’t make any difference,” ‘Idol’ executive producer Ken Warwick said when asked if Hernandez’s past would impact his present place on the show.”The truth is, we’re never judgmental about what people do to earn a living. They’ve got to put food in people’s mouths. We’ve had strippers on the show before. We’re never judgmental about people who do things like that. If it were some sort of heavy porn, then maybe we’d have to take action. But certainly not on this.” Hernandez worked as a male stripper at Dick’s Cabaret, where he appeared fully nude and performed lap dances for the establishments “mostly male” patrons, the Phoenix club’s manager Gordy Bryan confirmed. Warwick said he wasn’t aware of Hernandez’s former job before it was reported.”But the truth of the matter is, it wouldn’t have made any difference,” he said. “There are a lot of people I know who’d love to have the opportunity just to make a better living by taking their clothes off.”Warwick said regardless of Hernandez’s work as a male stripper, he’s proved he belongs in the competition.”I mean, David Hernandez, whatever you say, is a nice guy,” Warwick said. “And he can sing. He’s got a great voice. He deserves to be there, as far as I’m concerned.”"The thing is, at the end, the public will make the decision anyway,” Warwick said about Hernandez’s fate. “If there’s a stretch of the public that thinks, ‘Oh, dear, he was a male stripper, so I’m not going to vote for him,’ then that’s the luck of the draw. If the public doesn’t like him, then they’ll get rid of him.”
