In one of her first interviews since announcing her departure from American Idol, Paula Abdul is finally opening up about the real reasons she decided it was time to say goodbye.
“I had to stand on my principle,” Abdul tells TV Guide. “I’m going to miss the experience of watching young talent evolve into a place where they get to take off and soar.”
Although it was rumored that Paula, who served as a judge for eight seasons, was involved in a paycheck dispute with FOX, she says that isn’t so.
“I stand on principle where many people stand on money,” she says. “I’m a hard-working artist. I’ve lasted in this business for 23 years. And you can’t do that unless you are good at what you do.”
Next up for Abdul?
The singer will be hosting this year’s VH1 Diva Series on Sept. 17, and hopes to eventually land herself a full time hosting gig, telling the mag she would be interested in her own talk show.
“I believe in myself and you have to have your own self respect,” Paula added. “And sometimes decisions are very difficult to make, but I’ve always believed that at the core I’m a survivor. There’s not one thing I’ve done that I’ve really set my mind to that I’ve failed at.”
