We have this life, this opportunity - not only for ourselves to be truthful because that's a healthy way to live, but if you can help other people who are struggling."

She was then asked if Adam should have come out during American Idol. "Who's to say? He didn't have to do it all To say the timing is convenient after the fact. He's just starting his career," she answered. Then she said that maybe, "he was told, let's just get through American idol. Everyone has a lot of people saying you should do this and you should do this. The fact is he's just really starting his career. I'm really proud of him, and there are a lot of people who are still not out in the business."
