Producers of American Idol and season-4 dropout Mario Vazquez have been named in a lawsuit filed by a terminated assistant production accountant – who says he got fired for complaining about sexual harassment by Vazquez.

In March 2005, Vazquez withdrew from the Top 12 competition on the show to, he said at the time, for "personal reasons." According to the lawsuit, Vazquez left the show after Olmos expressed his complaints to executives and lawyers for American Idol Productions and the other defendants.

Olmos claims that Vasquez followed him into a bathroom stall, touched him inappropriately and made advances toward him, the lawsuit states.

Olmos (whose job with American Idol Productions began in October 2002, with his contract renewed every two years, his lawsuit states), claims in his legal papers the sexual harassment began in February 2005 and that he was fired in May 2005 in retaliation for complaining about Vazquez.
