After many years living in Utah, this sort of occurence comes as no surprise. The Mormons “holier than thou” attitude results inevitably in “the harder they fall” when they hit the skids. This type of hypocrisy is all too common in Zion!

READ the FULL story people!!

He HAS a bad back and it was a REIKI massage place! Dont JUDGE til you get the TRUTH PEOPLE!!! Jeff is an AWESOME Person and Dad!! Put yourself in their shoes and DO NOT JUDGE!!!

Oh stop! I’m not a Mormon, and if anything Mormons suffer from the discrimination and prejudice you display here. Lumping everyone together, particularly an entire religious group, for what one person does is wrong. No one knows what the unsensationalized story is.

Are you people clueless? The man was arrested in a massage parlor with a woman in her lingerie. If he had an ounce of decency he would have made sure he was not seen in any pictures or on tour with David after this. Even if he didn’t come public with it he should have distanced himself from David’s life and career.

Why bring this out now, if it allegedly occurred in January? This, if it even happened, will only hurt Lupe and her children. The News is a love hate relationship and I hate it right now. Poor David.

Leslie – wrong place, wrong time is lawyer speak for “Yeah, he did it.” The bad back thing is just a cover-up. Besides, if you watch the Fox 13 coverage of the story, it shows the building this takes place in. It’s very shabby, and I find it hard to believe Jeff couldn’t find a better place to get a massage. Also, this is hardly the first time police have found prostitution going on at a Reiki massage parlor.

For those who think Mormons (or any other religion) are perfect and delight in their mistakes, shame on you.

For those who think that Mormon’s are holier than thou, they aren’t, shame on you for putting them on that pedestal.

People make mistakes. All races, religions and genders. Get over it. Like someone said, this is non-news, just gossip. If it makes you feel better to pump yourself up with snarky comments at someone else’s demise, shame on you.

but that is just too damn funny. Strange how the people who come across as “squeaky clean” usually end up as being the most sexually deviant.

I feel sorry for David in all this because he is the unfortunate victim who will be now forced to deal with his father’s stupidity.

To Paul, your comments are idiotic. It’s dumb to lump an entire religious group into one category due to the actions of one person and quite frankly, I’m not really sure where anyone came up with the notion that Jeff Archuleta was holding his family up as the standard of perfection. I think that was more of a media creation than anything else. I’ve always wondered why Mormon celebrities get held up to a different standard in the media than celebrities of other religions.

Waiting for the whole story…Sad that a family has to deal with a private matter in such a public arena. I feel for the whole family! The media sensationalizes in order to sell…they don’t care who it hurts.

i love u david..i hope the media respects david and doesn’t ask him this questions..Ask his dad not him, because it’s not David’s fault.

I for one am tired of the media dragging Jeff Archuleta through the mud. Whether it happened or not, it is certainly not the top news the media is making it. I have met the Archuleta family and they are very sweet, genuine human beings. What was it I once read…let he who is spotless cast the first stone. My support and love are with the entire Archuleta family.

Always knew the old man was a douche!

David i love u you are so cute..
i love your first cd..
i’m sad for your dad actions but we can’t judge him..
throw the first stone who is free of sin!

Those 2 look like a coupla tools.

Way to embarrass your son you stupid prick.

So, he was lying on his stomach receiving sexual gratification from a woman… You piece that one together and try to make sense of it…

We love you, David! We, as fans, will continue to support your music no matter what! And this does not, in any way shape or form, take away from Davids unbelievable talents.
DON’T JUDGE DAVID THROUGH HIS FATHERS ACT!!!

u rock archie
forget his fathers action!

No matter what David…whether this is true or not…we’ll stick with you and love you.

No matter what David…whether this is true or not…we’ll stick with you and love you.

Seems like someone got tired of dad’s interference in David’s life and maybe leaked it. Dad should step down as David’s manager to save his career. How hypocritical of dad to be telling David NOT to sing anything edgy and preaching about clean Mormon life. I hope David fires dad if he doesn’t step down. Not only does David support the whole freaking fam but dad uses David’s money for prostitutes.

Re: Paul, Ca comments…
So true, so true (having lived in Utah for 30+ years). Score another one for stage parents!!! David is still very young and hopefully he can find better management to help guide him in his career. It’s just sad…

Many talented performers rise above the bad behavior of their stage parents and go on to have great careers. You’ll be fine David. Just keep singing.

i know its hard, but all you need to do is pray and follow “YOUR” heart it will show the way.

Looking for a massage on CRAIGLIST hmm…give me a break!

Who gives a shit.

I see that David is a Mormon, but I see no evidence that Jeff is a Mormon. I suspect the mother is a Mormon and she took David to church. But the dad may be a non mormon

uhm… huh? way too many big words? so he’s in jail now or whattttt???

Jeff is completely moronic. I always knew that he was a lecherous fame monger and a leech, but I didn’t think he’d be idiotic enough to get caught.

I can’t imagine if I were his son or daughter and had to experience this humilation and mistrust and disappointment privately. For this to happen, and for David to have to continue to be a public figure, getting ready to go on a tour this summer, facing down huge amounts of promotion and media (even if they never mention it, it will be the elephant in the room) is beyond my imagination.

I really hope that Jeff has an ounce of decency and puts his David first by stepping away as co-manager, even if he loses $$$ and some control. Otherwise, it really is a matter of “pay now or pay later.”

David needs a vacation. He’s been going nonstop for nearly two years now, if we count back to his first Idol audition.

If Jeff doesn’t step aside now, if he continues to try to gladhand with fans and be his own celebrity, it will hurt David’s career. No question.

Why is paying for a hand job illegal anyway? Enforcement is a waste of tax money.

If someone affiliated with David does not come forward and really address this issue, it will spell the end of David’s career. I read on some of his fansites and there are fanwars brewing, those who want Jeff out of the picture and those who believe the whole thing was made up. They are saying really mean things to each other. Jive and Azoff need to address this, assure everyone that Jeff’s involvement in David’s career will be minimal and let things run their course. Not many fans want to know they are supporting Jeff’s kinky sex.

Let’s everyone just calm down, take a few deep breaths, and realize this whole thing has nothing to do with David himself. It’s sad that David’s dad has done this and caused some unavoidably bad publicity for his son, but David wasn’t involved at all. Sometimes the people you love do stupid things. It’s not David’s fault.

oh please..judging an entire religious group due to actions of a person is really stuppppid…you’re not a mormon so you don’t know what they teach in the church..

I spent two weeks with the Moromons in reserve training. The majority went to Denver and engaged with prostitutes. Most of them were married.

I would like to nominate Jeff Archuleta for the world’s stupidest father.

Man this stuff really sickens me as a licensed massage therapist! I’d consider that a not so happy ending!!!!!!!!!

Maybe not sampling the goods till the wedding night (like so many churches including the mormon church teaches) contributes to eventual prostitution.

This will blow over quickly, pardon the expression. It’s just Archie’s squeaky clean image that make it “news”. Show business is so much more littered with greater slime than stories about Utah hookers.

David will be fine.

What I think is funny is that the officers took 5 days to investigate the parlor.

jeff is not with David guys!
maybe he is at home now..
my opinion is that despite everything, Jeff it’s his dad like it or not!! He was the one who pushed David, because David was very shy but Jeff believed in his talent, I don’t justify his actions but i hope he lears from his mistakes..

Lydia ~ Why bring it out now, you ask? Because it was held “in abeyance,” which means the law is to wait 6 months; if Jeff stays out of trouble, pays is $500-some fine, and takes a class, this will not be held on his record. Meanwhile, it’s secret for 6 months. So it happened in January, and now it goes to court, 6 months later.

I think the story is all baloney. Why only now it surfaced, it happened almost 6 months ago? Some jealous persons purposely made this up. Jealousy is the one that is evil!

I had a bad back (siatic nerve) and I went to my family doctor and was sent me to physical theraphy. I also know someone who is a masseuse and she wears a white uniform. I also know people who often go to spas for a massage not because they have a bad back, but because it’s relaxing. I would never look in Craigslist for my medical needs. Even if I would be that stupid and walked in and saw people in scanty outfits, I would walk out. Jeff is an idot, does he really think people are that stupid? Cops no doubt hear all kinds of stupid excuses when people get busted. I am not surprised this took so long to come to light. It’s not a conspiracy against Jeff or David, Jeff is just stupid.

I think what we need to do now is not focus on it anymore, let the Archuleta family take care of it. All fans can do is keep the family up in our prayers or thoughts, which ever suit you. As a Christian I will say that some of the stereotypes that are being said kinda suck. Yes some Mormons, Christians, and Catholics do have the “Holier than thou” attitude. Let me tell you as someone who was not raised a Christian, and does not live in a Christian household, that I can at least say for myself that I am not like that. I will also say that I’m very angry with the stereotypical Christian for GIVING PEOPLE THE REASON to think that I’m judgmental or hungry for sex because I was sheltered my whole life. I’ve been there done that, and I can say that I feel the way that I am leading my life as a Christian is the way God told us to. I apologize to all the people that are reading this and are of no faith or any different faith and have seen the hatred and stupidity of some Christians….. also sorry I went on a religious rant =)

I think that this is bull. The Archuleta family are a bunch of sweet people that for the most part don’t do anything that brings themselves to shame. This is nothing but gossip. It even said that Jeff had a BAD BACK. I don’t believe a word of this article. It’s a bunch of bull. I support David and his family with every step they take.

i think that this is just a great bi lie!!! i hope the media will drop this and let the family take care of it!!!

WHEN are you going to learn that the media MAKES things UP and LIES about EVERYTHING!!!

Jeff is a WONDERFUL Dad and Husband! He was in the wrong place at the Wrong time!! He was ON his way to fly out and only had 2.5 hours to FIND a masseuse!! He found one AROUND the corner from his house and it HAPPENED to be sketchy!!! He ONLY plead NO CONTEST to PROTECT HIS FAMILY!!!! Attorney said it will GO AWAY in 6 months if you just PLEAD. It will STAY out of the PRESS if you PLEAD!! ONCE again, JEFF doing whats BEST for HIS FAMILY!!! Hes An AWESOME DAD AND HUSBAND !!!!

No body is perfect, don’t judge Jeff and don’t separate a family please..If Jeff did that, i think he is already paying his mistake..Hopefully he learns from this error, but only God has the right to judge..

okay, i don’t know what to believe, if its true or not..the past rumors about jeff being a “stage dad” weren’t true after all, so you can’t really believe anything until you get confirmation from one of the archuleta’s. if it’s true, or if it’s not, we still need to support david, because david is the one who is the artist here, and the fans are there for david’s music, not for his family’s problems.

Jeff failed but i think he hasn’t been that bad father..
i don’t support his actions but i can’t hate him..he is kinda cute and likeable…
but he has to make something to recover the respect of his family again…

I can’t even begin to imagine the pain and disappointment Lupe and David’s siblings must be going through. I would die if my father were so weak to think nothing of the covenants he made with my mother and God. How can people live double lives. It is obvious that David is very innocent and even nieve. I have wanted to throw up about the whole story ever since I heard about it. I am truly sickened and sad. I had such hopes that this family would be so different. I was first disappointed in December just knowing the whole family went out to Blue Man group on Davids birthday on a Sunday. The reality is that stallwort practicing Mormons would avoid as much as possible on Sundays. But most strong Mormons would avoid putting their children in the lime light because we all know eventually money and the world would make them fall in some way morally. I think the Osmonds pulled it off pretty well but we are all sinners and it would be so easy to fall if you had money and hot women throwing themselves at you all the time. I just hope David can stay clear and keep his clean image. We’re all better off staying away from Hollywood and their selfish carnal way of life. We all have access to so many vile things but it takes some great self control and self dominance to stay away from it all and not succomb to all manner of addictions, weather it is drugs, alcohol, food, sex,or pornography! My Heart is broken that we can’t have one good example out there! I met Jeff last summer and he was so kind and even cried when a woman told him she had joined our church because she was so touched when she had heard David Sing “Imagine”. I know his initial intentions were good but money is the root of all evil. Too bad Jeff! Too bad!!!

that is normal sexual behavior.

Sexual behavior between two consenting adults should not be illegal.

I know I’m so sad for his family, and i know that Jeff failed Lupe..
But remember, No body is perfect, only God!

if Jeff regrets and tries to be a better person, i think his family should forgive him, because everybody makes mistake and hopefully he learns from his mistakes…

I am your number1# biggest fan in the world I love you david archuleta how old are you I am 15 years old

As Simon would say, this is rubbish. The allegations against Mr. Archuletta during the show were false. I was glad that David Cook addressed that during a show on “The View” last year. Cook said that Jeff was a very caring compassionate Father. I belive him. So the rest of this stuff is more than likely untrue. They should be left alone. By the way, I have been a fan of Idol since probably season 2. In my book, David Archuletta is by far the best singer/artist so far ever on any of the seasons of Idol. I continue to follow him with his career – have his CD and look for to many more. Best to you David and to your family.
