Now an update to the latest American Idol controversy.

Tulsa's Matt Farmer, a former contestant this season, stands accused of embellishing his military career on the show.

Once Matt's story aired this week, several men saying they served with Matt posted on Guardian of Valor, a web site that outs people claiming military service or awards they never earned.

One of those statements reads:

Matt Farmer is a fraud. He is currently auditioning with American idol under false pretenses. I served with this person from Dec 2005 until he prematurely left theatre for using banned substances specifically medication not prescribed and alcohol.

The theatre was Ar Ramadi Iraq 1Bn 26inf blue spaders 1ID attached to 1-77ar 1ID and 2nd marine expeditionary force. His actions endangered the rest of his platoon and company and forced the rest of the company to be searched in what is called a "health and welfare" for illegal substances.

KRMG reached out to Matt Farmer's family. They turned down our interview request but did point to a statement that Farmer's  words were edited and taken out of context by American Idol. A portion of Farmer's statement says:

"I was on a mission in ramadi iraq and we came across an IED and it exploded"
Then an explosion sound and the stock added photos that i DID NOT give American Idol.  you can tell this as the pics of me are far worse quality than those photos.

Than the next part was "I just remember waking up in kuwait" Like i said…this is the magic of television. IM FIRM in the fact that i know i had talked about in over 6 hours of interviews that i discussed certain missions and stuff that we did on a day to day basis…i than mentioned to a producer in an interview that i had an accident while in country and remember "waking up in kuwait"this is where this was all pieced together. I am sure you have watched the american idol clip and can realize that it is chopped up.

Elsewhere, Farmer appears to confess that he wasn't entirely truthful about being injured by an IED.
