Katy Perry has been accused of being a “mean girl” and “bullying” American Idol contestant Sara Beth Liebe during a recent episode.
During the hit ABC reality TV talent competition on Sunday, fans said the 38-year-old “American Idol” judge was rude to the 25-year-old mother of three after Liebe’s revealed her singing expertise was basically the “church choir,” the New York Post reported.
“Is this your dream?” Perry asked the contestant, who appeared rattled and simply replied, “Um.”
“If it’s not your dream, you might need to leave because there’s a lot of dreams behind you,” Perry added.
Liebe admitted she was “still processing” being away from her kids before she finally started with her first song, “You Know I’m No Good” by Amy Winehouse.
However, Perry seemed unimpressed and prodded her, “Come on, we need more. That’s not enough. Try ‘Bennie and the Jets.'”
“Show us what your voice can do,” she added. “Take it to the limit. No looking back. Sing it like it’s your new dream. More of that! Hold it out.”
The singer then named Liebe the “Accidental American Idol.”
“Look, if it’s not your dream, it’s not gonna go far because I also respect everyone that’s walking through that door who will lay down their life for this golden ticket [to Hollywood],” Perry explained.
Perry and fellow judge Luke Bryan ultimately did vote for the mom to move on to the next round, while Lionel Richie had to go “with his gut” and didn’t.
Fans were not impressed with Katy’s comments to the 25-year-old singing hopeful and took to Twitter to express their displeasure.
“Katy. Come back down to reality,” one account posted.
“Katy Perry being a mean girl to Sara Beth,” another user added.
While another asked, “Why was Katy bullying that girl?”
One account tweeted, “Boo to Katy Perry for mom shaming Sara Beth. Insinuating that she has been ‘laying on the table too much’ to have 3 kids by age 25. A young mother following a dream while raising her children should be raised up not put down. #AmericanIdol.”
“I just wish Katy wouldn’t have been so nasty to her,” another added. “She was rude and kept on and on about it until Sara left! She is a little too much at times.”
Another account accused Perry of having “some major attitude.”
The “American Idol” judge previously faced a “#MeToo” accusation after she kissed 19-year-old contestant Benjamin Glaze on the mouth. Glaze said he had been saving that for his “first relationship.”
“I was a tad bit uncomfortable,” Glaze, who had never been kissed before, shared. “I wanted to save it for my first relationship. I wanted it to be special.”
It's like they cannot help themselves. In my younger years, we used to go out to lunch with some office girls and one in particular (another Liberal) was absolutely ghastly to waitresses.
It was so embarrassing that I said I wouldn't go out with them any more.
Wasn't that Katy Perry's résumé when she became famous? (Wasn't her father a pastor who was disappointed in some of her musical and life decisions?) I might be confusing her with someone else, but I think it was her.
Yes..................
Libs despise working-class people. I’ve witnessed it too.
Perry is an obnoxious member of the woke mob. When this lady said she sang in the choir she became the enemy. Anything good is a threat to these evil corrupt scumbags.
Seems as if more often than not there is no line—that the narcissist is also a sociopath, and the sociopath is also a narcissist. The narcissism label might just be a marketing label to glorify sociopathy.
Look, if it’s not your dream, it’s not gonna go far because I also respect everyone that’s walking through that door who will lay down their life for this golden ticket [to Hollywood],” Perry explained.

Regarding Perry,
someone had to replace Harvey Weinstein,
now we know who has.
I’ve got better things to do with my life than watch that show.
This is what shitlibs do. They love to push people around. Give them enough power, and they’ll push people into mass graves.
Projection.
Katy was raised in at least a semblance of a church. She has rejected Christ afaik and laid down HER life at the idol of Hollywood success. Confronted by a faithful young mom with three children she felt some rage?
Faced with a mirror image of herself she didn’t like what she saw...................
“who will lay down their life for this golden ticket”
Sounds like she’s got on her knees and blowed the right producer. She will naturally despise those who did not.
That may be but she ain’t wrong
Katy Perry tried to buy a convent and force the nuns to move. One of the nuns died while the court case was going on.
Katy Perry did not need that building, she just wanted it at others expense.
I tuned into Hollywood Night on Idol and the mom Katy bullied sang, and the judges really seemed to like her. When she was done she thanked everyone and said it was her last performance because she was heading home to her babies. She had mentioned it was selfish of her to be there because her kids missed her. Good for her!
She irritates me. I like the show but she seems very me-me-me, look at me, and that gets boring fast.
Sounds like she can't understand normal thinking.
