So… about that “scandal” that American Idol was rigged this season because of AT&T’s influence in Kris Allen’s favor? Fox is saying it’s just not the case, confirming that Kris Allen is “without a doubt” the American Idol 8 winner.

FremantleMedia North America, 19 Entertainment and FOX Broadcasting Company issued a statement that says:

“FOX and the producers of American Idol are absolutely certain that the results of this competition are fair, accurate and verified. Kris Allen is, without a doubt, the American Idol. We have an independent third-party monitoring procedure in place to ensure the integrity of the voting process. In no way did any individuals unfairly influence the outcome of the competition.”
