NY Post: Jeff Archuleta "Had To Be Removed"

The NY Post is confirming that Jeff Archuleta is indeed an overbearing stage father to David Archuleta.

I'm so worried! The added pressure on David Archuleta is so unfair! Getting screamed at during recording, forgetting lyrics, a promdate plant, song choice doubts from Simon Cowell -- can David Archuleta handle all this stress??? Dolly Parton save us!

In an exclusive Post interview, a high-level source at CBS' "Junior Star Search," which last aired in 2003, confirmed that Jeff Archuleta, 46, not only micro-managed his young son's performance but was accused of trying to intimidate other kid contestants and was finally restricted by producers on his set visits.
