American Idol: Laine Hardy Arrested For Allegedly Spying On Ex-GF
American Idol season 17 winner Laine Hardy was arrested in Louisiana for allegedly spying on his ex-girlfriend. Laine, who is now 21 years old, first auditioned for American Idol season 16 in 2018 and made it into the Top 50 before being eliminated. He returned the following year for American Idol season 17 to accompany his friend Ashton Gill on the guitar during her audition. Although the Livingston, Louisiana, native had no intention of auditioning for the show again, American Idol judges Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan convinced him, and he made it through to Hollywood for a second time.
