Kelly Clarkson allegedly has concerns regarding the staff losing their jobs if she quits “The Kelly Clarkson Show.” Her worry has reportedly resulted in her emotional “breakdowns.” According to the Daily Mail, a “staffer” stated, “She’s made it very clear that she doesn’t want her decisions to affect all of our livelihoods.” The person continued, “But it’s a bit late for that now.”

The “source” further claimed that they understand Kelly Clarkson’s conflict. They added, “But when she says things publicly, it makes the public feel like she doesn’t want to be here.” After that, they questioned, “And if she doesn’t want to be here, why should they tune in?”

By this, the staff member referred to the comments Kelly Clarkson made on her talk show that were publicly available. On May 9, the singer said to fans, “We haven’t done a [singing] show in a while, y’all.” She continued, “cause I have a talk show.” It happened during a concert in Atlantic City.
