The guy who's suing "American Idol" for allegedly exploiting his sexual orientation says he deserves a $300,000,000 payday ... and claims he's going to "bring American Idol down."
TMZ ran into Ian Benardo in New York where he also berated a "bum" for asking him for directions -- before continuing to preach about how words can be hurtful.
"American Idol" producer FremantleMedia had no comment on the lawsuit.

This guy deserved to lose and not be on the show. He is a complete jerk. All the other guy did was ask him directions. He obviously believes he is going to win something. X X X ...ok, you 15 minutes are up! Move along you no talent loser!
