Katy Perry, one of the esteemed judges alongside Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie, has apparently reached her breaking point.
Throughout the season, Katy Perry faced significant backlash for various reasons, becoming the primary target of criticism.
Reports suggest that the singer now desires to step down as a judge on American Idol, alleging that the show's producers portrayed her negatively by editing episodes to depict her as the "nasty judge."
The series of incidents began when Katy Perry reportedly made a comment mocking contestant Sara Beth Liebe, a 25-year-old mother of three.
Liebe later left the show, expressing her dismay at Perry's comment.
Furthermore, the pop star faced audience backlash when she criticized contestant Nutsa Buzaladze's outfit, prompting boos from the crowd.
While Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie were surprised by the negative reaction, Katy Perry appeared unfazed.
Sources close to the situation indicate that the singer's unique sense of humor may not always translate well on camera, but she maintains that she never intends any harm.
It remains to be seen whether Katy Perry will return as a judge for the upcoming 22nd season of American Idol.
The decision ultimately lies in her hands and may depend on whether the concerns she raised about her portrayal are addressed.
American Idol continues to be a roller-coaster season with a wealth of exceptional talent, and Katy Perry's potential departure would undoubtedly leave a void on the judging panel.
As fans eagerly await updates, the future of the show hangs in the balance.
