In the ninth season, American Idol judge Katy Perry joined the panel as a guest judge. After then, she had a permanent status. Perry has drawn flak for acting in a “rude” manner towards competitors. Regarding how she handles the female candidates and alters if it’s a man participant, several claims have been made. A live crowd in Hawaii heckled the Dark Horse singer on a recent broadcast of American Idol for her criticism of contestant Nutsa Buzaladze.
However, Perry offered a strong defence for her criticism. She defended herself by saying that she wished to view a different aspect of Buzaladze’s artistic abilities despite the audience’s harsh response.
Katy Perry: Will She Be Replaced?
According to reports, Perry’s “rude and condescending” remarks to grieving candidates have alienated her audience. Sara Beth Liebe, a 25-year-old competitor, was humiliated and called names by Perry’s mother in a recent episode, which caused Liebe to leave The American Idol.
Liebe may have given the Hot N Cold singer a pass, but the drama queen’s supporters aren’t being so kind. It appears that the show’s creators were aware of the criticism. According to an Insider, “Producers are so alarmed by Katy’s behaviour that they’re thinking about replacing her in order to keep the audience happy.”
Fans are outraged by Perry’s treatment of the singing pair after she previously faced criticism for her harsh remarks. She insisted they perform before they had an opportunity to practise, and in front of a national audience, she criticised their performance as “underwhelming,” according to an insider.

Social media criticism Katy Perry
Perry’s actions were not overlooked as the fans expressed their fury on social media. “Katy is rude and condescending to contestants unless it’s a male cutie, in which case she acts like a teenage fool,” one critic said in a narrative they shared online. “Goodbye, Katy!” I’m so OVER Katy, a another fan commented, and I turned off Idol tonight, said a third. Perry’s embarrassing remarks have reportedly led some individuals behind the scenes to wonder if she has passed her prime.
The Harleys in Hawaii singer claims that the venue has been transformed into a “Boy’s Club” by her colleagues Lionel Richie and Luke Brian. They share inside jokes and play practical jokes on each other, she claimed. On the other hand, earlier videos of her flirting with male competitors have gone popular online. Additionally, her disrespectful remarks and conduct towards female contestants when combined with those videos provide a valid justification for the fans’ fury.
