Matt Farmer was a contestant on American Idol this past Wednesday and he now admits that his claims of surffering brain damage from an IED in Iraq were made up. Too bad because he had an incredible audition and it WAS a moving story... however, he now admits that his claim of a traumatic brain injury from an IED explosion in Iraq was false!
"It was all lies," Farmer, 26, confessed on Guardians of Valor.
On the show he claimed that the attack had led to PTSD, as well as taking medicine that made him sterile.
The TRUTH is that he was never injured in combat.
"I am extremely remorseful and very upset that I allowed myself to take from the hard work of the guys that I was deployed with among others," Farmer wrote.
"To think that I would go on a national TV show and get away with continuing a lie so big…is ridiculous."
Get THIS... Soldiers who served with Farmer claim his injury came from mixing Accutane, a prescription medication for acne, and alcohol!
Here's the clip!
