Last year, Katy Perry bid farewell to “American Idol” after her seven-season run as a judge, but it appears the experience may have left her with some sour feelings. The singer-songwriter has continued to face online mockery and scrutiny in recent years. A new report has now claimed that Perry blames “American Idol” for hitting rock bottom in her career.
Katy Perry says ‘American Idol’ left her ‘overexposed’, claims ‘source’
Katy Perry may believe her stint on “American Idol” may have been the reason behind her career downfall, a new report has alleged. RadarOnline.com exclusively learned from a source that the singer is “convinced” that “it all started” with the popular reality television show. The insider said, “Katy is at the end of her rope.” They added that the pop star has “faced a backlash that’s unprecedented for an artist who didn’t do anything criminal.”
The source further claimed that Perry blames the “American Idol” producers for painting a negative image of her. They stated that the “Teenage Dream” hitmaker had “thought she was elevating her career” as a judge on the singing show. However, the insider said, “Now she says it left her overexposed and made her a punchline.” The source added, “Katy wishes she’d never done the show.”
Since her exit from “American Idol,” Perry has remained busy with new endeavors. In September last year, the songstress dropped her latest studio album “143.” Perry is now taking over cities with her “The Lifetimes Tour,” which kicked off last month. The artist unlocked another feat this year when she joined an all-female crew, including Gayle King and Lauren Sanchez, on the Blue Origin mission.
Amid this, Perry has continued to be subjected to online criticism. This peaked following her 11-minute journey to space, which even sparked memes. Days after that, Perry seemingly responded to the criticism she had been receiving. In a comment under a fan account’s post on Instagram, the “Roar” singer stated that the “online” world tries to make her a “human Piñata.” Perry continued to throw a subtle shade at haters, adding that she takes the negative comments with “grace.”
Meanwhile, Perry has not made any official comments blaming “American Idol” for the bumpy road of her career. It is worth highlighting that the claims came from reported “sources.”
