Katy Perry Wants to Quit ‘American Idol,’ Believes She’s Being Portrayed as the ‘Nasty Judge’

According to sources, Katy Perry’s future on American Idol is uncertain. After facing significant backlash from loyal viewers in recent months, the judge may not return for Season 22. Insiders claim that Perry believes she is being unfairly portrayed as the “nasty judge” and fears that producers are throwing her under the bus, as reported by The Daily Mail.

Perry initially joined the show with the intention of nurturing young talent, but her good intentions have apparently been misinterpreted. The scrutiny and criticism have taken a toll on her, and she has been considering leaving for some time. This season, in particular, has been overwhelming for her, leading to her desire to step away.

The controversies surrounding Perry include accusations of mom-shaming former contestant Sara Beth Liebe during an audition, which prompted the 25-year-old mom-of-three to leave the competition early.

Perry also faced backlash for telling Nutsa Buzaladze to tone down her glitter, resulting in boos from the audience. Fans accused her of using psychological tactics by tricking contestants into believing they were going home when they were actually advancing to the next round.

If Perry decides to depart from the long-running show, she would be walking away from a reported $25 million per season. However, according to the source, her decision is not driven by money but rather by concerns about how it may impact her legacy. Perry does not want her career to be defined by a talent competition show where she is not even performing.

Decider reached out to representatives for American Idol for comment but has not received a response at the time of publication.
