Troubled American Idol judge Paula Abdul has been caught sobbing on camera during a recent conference call, saying that her management have treated her badly.

In footage acquired by the New York Post, Paula Abdul can been seen slagging off her former representative Howard Bragman - who she accuses of calling her "a whining bitch and a loser." She says, "I've never been treated this way and I've never seen anybody treated this way. This is just too much to stomach.

"I'm being tested. All I've ever wanted in my life is to be treated fairly and be treated with kindness. And I've never in my entire career been treated this way.

The people who are supposed to take care of these things do not. I have to clean up after them everywhere they go. And I'm tired of it." Paula also outlines her recent health problems, including an adrenal disease called Addison's, wailing, "I've been going through tremendous amounts of a difficult time." The conference call is thought to have been taped earlier this week, where Abdul seems to be talking to a group of publicists.
