Paula Abdul says the Fox network and American Idol producers knew Paula Goodspeed had stalked her, and allowed the woman to audition for the show anyway.

"I said this girl is a stalker of mine and please do not let her in," Abdul said during an interview with Barbara Walters on her Sirius XM radio show.

Goodspeed was found dead - she had apparently committed suicide - in a car near Abdul's home last month.
