Pop superstar Katy Perry is reportedly considering quitting her role as a judge on the popular show “American Idol” following a series of intense criticism from viewers throughout the season. The singer has faced significant backlash and found herself at the center of a mum-shaming scandal that resulted in one contestant leaving the competition. Now, there is speculation that Katy is contemplating a similar decision.
Sources close to the situation have revealed that Katy feels like she is being unfairly targeted by the show’s producers, who she believes have purposefully portrayed her as the “nasty judge” through strategic editing. According to insiders, she believes that certain comments could have been omitted from the final broadcast. The harsh criticism and negative audience response have deeply upset her, especially the experience of being booed. Katy’s initial intention was to nurture and support young talent, so the misinterpretation of her actions has been disheartening.
Reports suggest that Katy has been considering leaving “American Idol” for some time now, but the current season has proved to be overwhelming. The incident at the beginning of the season, where Katy faced criticism for mum-shaming contestant Sara Beth Liebe, particularly stirred controversy. Her comment during the audition led Sara Beth to express her embarrassment and ultimately decide to leave the show to prioritize her family.
In another instance during Hollywood week, Katy received backlash for her critique of contestants Carina DeAngelo and Nutsa Buzaladze. She labeled their performance as “underwhelming” and criticized their energy, which immediately drew boos from the audience.
While the decision regarding her future on “American Idol” remains uncertain, it is evident that Katy Perry has been deeply affected by the negative reception and the misconstrual of her intentions. As the season progresses, fans and viewers await further developments regarding Katy’s potential departure from the popular singing competition.
