Popstar and American Idol judge Katy Perry is considering leaving the programme due to backlash from viewers, according to reports. The singer has been part of the talent show, alongside fellow judges Luke Bryan, and Lionel Richie, since she joined back in 2018.
However, the 38-year-old has faced criticism on social media from viewers over comments she made to contestants during the latest series, which ended on Sunday (May 21). One remark she made to hopeful Sara Beth Liebe, 25, attracted backlash and triggered a 'mum shaming scandal', the Mirror reports.
She also landed in hot water with fans of the show over feedback she gave to contestant Nutsa Buzaladze on two occasions. It has now been alleged that the singer-songwriter wants to quit due to concerns she'll appear like a 'nasty judge', and not wanting her participation on the show to 'define' her career.
