“Katy has come under fire for harsh comments in the past, and now fans are upset over the way she humiliated a singing duo,” the insider shared. “She demanded they perform before they’d had a chance to rehearse and then blasted their work as ‘underwhelming’ in front of a national audience!”
That recent outcry came on the heels of Katy mom-shaming and insulting 25-year-old contestant Sara Beth Liebe, who ultimately quit the singing competition.
After Liebe revealed she was a mother of three, Katy pretended to stagger away from the panel’s table while fellow judge Luke Bryan fanned her.
“If Katy lays on the table,” Liebe said, “I think I’m going to pass out.”
“Honey, you’ve been laying on the table too much,” Katy snipped at the humiliated singer.
