On the day of her big “American Idol” finale, Crystal Bowersox and her boyfriend, Tony Kusian, decided to end their relationship. Of course, some fans immediately jumped to conclusions about Kusian, but now Bowersox is making sure everyone knows he’s not a bad guy.

“I really want to clear up some misunderstood stuff about Tony’s and my breakup the night of the ‘Idol’ finale, and let people know how amazing he was through the whole process. I feel like he’s getting portrayed as this person who up and left me on the biggest day of my life, and that’s not the case at all. I mean, he’s getting hate mail and horrible messages online,” Bowersox told Redbook magazine.

“So I want to make clear how amazing, kind, and generous a person he is, and that he truly considers my son his son and little Tony loves him,” she continued. “He’s been there since my son was about 3 months old. And in a lot of ways, he’s the perfect man; he really is. But ultimately, we both knew it wasn’t going to work out, considering the different lives we were leading. And it’s better to come to that realization than to have an unhappy relationship. Mommy and Daddy need to be happy in order for baby to be happy.”

These days, Bowersox has plenty of projects on her plate as she tried to balance her career with raising her young son. “I like being busy; I like working hard. So in a lot of ways, everything that’s happening feels completely natural, like this is what was meant to be. This summer I’ll be all over the country on the American Idol tour, flying back and forth between that and Los Angeles. I think Tony will stay here with friends and family who are helping me look after him. But once it’s my own tour, he will definitely be with me,” she said. “And he’ll be able to see and have all these experiences, meet all these new and interesting people, do a lot of unique things a lot of kids don’t get to do. So it’s a lot of new stuff for both of us. I’m looking forward to it.”

Once her hectic schedule settles down, she plans on settling down somewhere with her son. “Eventually I’d love to find us a more stable place. I’d like to be either here in L.A. or in New York, because that’s where Mommy can work,” she said. “But for now, Tony’s jet-setting, and he enjoys it. He loves going new places. And as cheesy as this is, home to me is where the heart is. I’m very at home in my skin. I’m at home when my son is with me.”
