Former "American Idol" star Syesha Mercado dropped her manager
like a bad habit as soon she landed a big gig doing "The Book of Mormon"
... allegedly stiffing him out of hundreds of thousands of
dollars.Mercado -- who finished third on Season 7 -- is being sued by
former manager Fred Crawford, who picked her up as a client not too long
after her stint on "Idol."Crawford claims Mercado agreed to fork over
20% of whatever she made in the entertainment industry. Crawford says
he helped her land the "Book of Mormon" deal ... for which she earned
$40,000 a month.But Crawford claims right after the ink dried Mercado
cut off all communication and never paid him a cent. He's suing for his
"Mormon" cut -- roughly $300,000. Crawford has a big problem ... the
deal, he says, was never committed to writing. Calls to Mercado's rep
were not returned, but we're guessing she tells a very different story.
