Constantine Defends Tara Reid?!?!?

by Jeanne on September 2nd, 2007

Did you know that Constantine Maroulis went to high school with Tara Reid? Well, apparently he did and he doesn’t like how people put her down all the time. Here’s what he had to say:

“I went to high school with Tara Reid,” Maroulis recently told Baird Jones. The two grew up in Wyckoff, N.J. “I noticed her even before high school because she also went to a private Catholic grade school,” Maroulis said. “She was so striking with that hair and she was pretty developed even when she was a little kid . . . She was always a good girl, a sweet kid. It’s tough, when you are making a name in Hollywood with the press, the way people brand you. People are unfair to her. Compared to the other party girls - Nicole, Paris, Lindsay - Tara doesn’t look so bad these days. Tara did not go to prison, she never broke the law. Tara is trying to clean up her act. She is a talented girl.”

I think it is really nice that Constantine is defending his former schoolmate. However, Tara is older than all of those girls he named and maybe even set a trend for them to follow. I do give Tara a fair chance and I hope she’s on the road to wellness but she had a nipple slip before the other ladies, I believe, making her a “pioneer” in the whole “young star turned drunken party girl” scenario. Does anyone else agree/disagree?
