OK, now let’s talk about the singers we will be seeing next week, many of whom received game-changing pointers from several Idol alumni. “It’s hard enough to be a mom and it’s hard enough to be a woman.” This did not sit well with Beth, who said Perry’s joke “wasn’t super kind.” She called the televised ordeal “embarrassing” and “hurtful,” concluding that women should always support one another. “If Katy lays on the table, I think I’m gonna pass out,” she said, to which Perry replied, “Honey, you’ve been laying on the table too much.” Shortly after Beth’s initial audition aired on ABC, she posted an emotional TikTok about feeling like Perry “mom-shamed” her.ĭuring the audition, Perry joked about needing to lie down on the table after hearing that someone as young as Beth already had three children. Just like that, Beth brought her own Idol journey to an end - but we’d be lying if we pretended like this was the first sign of friction between her and Perry.
