"America's Got Talent" is sticking with controversial vet singer Timothy Poe, although the road won't be easy for him on or off the talent show.

"AGT" producers are reportedly editing Poe's appearance in the upcoming Las Vegas show, all while Poe is coming under fire from folks on the show, and while his family is receiving death threats.

This all started days after Poe appeared on an audition episode of "AGT," where he said he stuttered because of a war injury yet sang well enough to bring the audience to its feet. After the broadcast, military records called into question whether Poe was injured in Afghanistan. It also was revealed that Poe claimed a photo he gave the show was from his service in the war, when in fact it depicted another soldier.

Host Nick Cannon was the first to notice a discrepancy in Poe's story. The singer showed no signs of a stutter when he stepped off the stage after performing. "I think we was so caught up in the moment, he forgot to stutter," Cannon told reporters.

Show producers, according to TMZ, are discussing what footage to cut from Poe's Las Vegas appearance. Judge Howie Mandel expects the show won't disqualify Poe, but it remains to be seen how the judges, audience and voting public react to him.

"I was so blown away that I was totally taken in," Mandel told TMZ. "I'm really angry with the guy."

So are a lot of people.

Poe's family told TMZ they have received death threats. Poe's

sister-in-law said while shopping with her children, someone approached and said, "We're going to kill you and the whole family." Similar threats were made to other family members as well.
