In an interview with the Los Angeles Times on July 18, 2009, Paula's manager David Sonenberg told the newspaper that, "Very sadly, it does not appear that she?s going to be back on ?Idol?."[21] This came about as a result of stalled negotiations between Paula and the show. Later on her Twitter page, Paula responded to her fans' messages of support by stating: "I?m actually moved 2 tears upon reading the enormous amount of tweets showing me your kindness, love, & undying support. God bless all of you!,? continuing, ?If it weren?t for you, this specific time and situation would feel a whole lot worse!?. On August 4, 2009, after numerous negotiations, Abdul confirmed that she would not be returning to Idol for its ninth season.[22]
