Is Jason Hartman burning his bridges?

Hartman tells all, then denies all
Idols winner Jason Hartman has come out to express his unhappiness about sharing the winner’s title with Sasha-Lee Davids, the standards of the Idols production team and the living conditions in the Idols house.
In an interview with Heat magazine that is sure to ruffle some feathers, Hartman speaks about how he truly feels about the embarrassing voting blunder that led to him being declared joint winner with Davids.
The magazine says that Hartman said in an interview that he thought Davids should hand over the crown and that — despite public displays of solidarity between the two — the two of them were not on speaking terms.
Hartman admitted in the interview that he had been on the receiving end of a lot of vicious comments from Davids’ fans.
“He told us that he had feedback from Sasha-Lee’s fans and family, saying that he was behind it all, which Jason insisted was the furthest thing from the truth,” said Heat editor Melinda Shaw.
But Hartman denied the allegations when asked for comment yesterday.
In a complete about-turn, he denied that he had said any such thing to the magazine.
“It’s absolute rubbish,” Hartman told The Times.
“Heat just took everything I said and turned it around, and if you read previous articles about me you will see that I have never said anything bad about Idols or Sasha-Lee,” he said.
But Shaw was adamant that her magazine’s article was correct.
She said that Hartman also told the magazine that he “feels that the noble thing to do would be for Sasha-Lee to face the obvious truth that he won hands-down and therefore deserves the crown, especially since there was a major difference of 200,000 votes!”
Shaw said: “If [Hartman] is denying it, then I guess we should put up the recorded interview tapes online as well so that people can hear what he said.”
M-Net publicist Lani Lombard said she was not aware of Hartman’s unhappiness because he had not told M-Net of his grievances.
Lombard said that she would speak to Hartman “to hear if this is really how he feels”.
