American Idol judge Katy Perry has been accused of mom-shaming by a contestant on the show. Sara Beth Liebe, a 25-year-old mother of three, accused Perry of making unkind comments to her during her audition. Perry had previously mocked Liebe’s age and suggested that she spends too much time “laying on the table”.
Liebe later claimed that Perry’s comments had hurt her feelings and were not “super kind”. However, Perry denied any intention to be nasty, stating that the judges on the show only give constructive criticism.
Despite the earlier tensions between them, Perry was later seen encouraging Liebe to stay on the show. During a recent episode, Liebe announced that she planned to return home to be with her children, but Perry urged her to consider staying on and pursuing her dream.
Although Liebe ultimately decided to leave the show, Perry’s supportive comments were praised by other viewers. The judge encouraged Liebe to consider her own potential and to prioritize self-love as well as motherly love.
