American Idol hopeful Sara Beth Liebe was “mom-shamed” by Katy Perry during her audition, and now the singer and mom of three is speaking out.<\/p>\n

Liebe, 25,\u00a0recently appeared<\/a> on American Idol. During her audition, Perry appeared to shame Liebe for being a mother of three, even remarking that she had been “laying on the table too much” \u2014 insinuating she’d been having too much sex, or had too many children. Viewers criticized Perry for her treatment of Liebe \u2014 and Liebe had some comments to make in hindsight.<\/p>\n

In a recent TikTok video<\/a>, she talked about the “interesting video” she had to film, with the media maelstrom surrounding her experience.<\/p>\n

“While I was on the show, there was a ‘joke’ that was made that’s gotten some attention, and I’ve gotten a lot of people reaching out to me asking how I’m feeling,” she began, and added, “I got scouted to go and audition on American Idol, and sing in front of Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie, and Katy Perry. And at the start of my audition, before I sang, I mentioned that I had three children, and was a young mother. And Katy Perry made a ‘joke’ that… wasn’t super kind.”<\/p>\n
