American Idol Cop Contestant Blasts Producers

But Alisha -- who was eliminated Wednesday night -- tells us, producers edited the show to make her look more like a loudmouthed fight-picking ice queen than she really is.

Alisha insists ... that's just not an accurate reflection of her character -- in reality, she's a really nice person. There's not much she can do legally speaking ... but hey, it's good to know. more on this story
