American Idol fans are demanding action in response to Katy Perry's insensitive remarks towards contestants on the show. The 38-year-old "I Kissed a Girl" singer has been criticized for her "rude and condescending" comments, leading viewers to turn against her, according to an insider.

"Katy has come under fire for harsh comments in the past, and now fans are upset over the way she humiliated a singing duo," the source explains. "She demanded they perform before they'd had a chance to rehearse and then blasted their work as 'underwhelming' in front of a national audience!"

In another incident, Perry was accused of mom-shaming 25-year-old contestant Sara Beth Liebe, who eventually left the competition. After Liebe disclosed that she was a mother of three, Perry made a crude remark that left viewers unimpressed.

While Liebe has since forgiven Perry, others have not been so lenient. One critic on Instagram wrote, "Katy is rude and condescending to contestants unless it's a male cutie, then she acts like a teenage fool. Bye-bye Katy!" Another viewer expressed their frustration, saying, "I'm so OVER Katy!" while a third declared, "I turned OFF Idol tonight!"

These negative reactions to Perry's comments have left some insiders questioning her future on the show. "Katy's cringeworthy comments have got people behind the scenes wondering if she is past her expiration date!" the source reveals.

Producers are reportedly so concerned about the backlash against Perry that they're considering replacing her to appease the audience.

‘Mom-Shaming’ Comment

Sara Beth Liebe delivered impressive renditions of Elton John's "Benny and the Jets" and Amy Winehouse's "You Know I'm No Good." However, Perry was taken aback when she learned that the 25-year-old singer was a mother of three. Pretending to faint against fellow judge Luke Bryan, Perry elicited a comment from Liebe, to which she responded, "Honey, you've been laying on the table too much."

The comment gained enough attention that Liebe addressed it in a TikTok video, referring to Perry's words as "not super kind" and characterizing them as a "joke." She expressed her embarrassment and hurt over the comment being aired on television.

In her video, Liebe emphasized the importance of women supporting and uplifting one another and criticized mom-shaming. She also took the opportunity to express gratitude and support for other moms who had commented on the videos and posts.
