Read our privacy policy Katy Perry and Lionel Richie are being temporarily replaced on American Idol after accepting another job opportunity. US network Fox has permitted the pair to step away from the series, with their co-judge, country musician Luke Bryan, saying that “big time” stars will fill their positions. Perry recently came under fire for critiquing the appearance of a contestant, and also for “mom-shaming” Sarah Beth Liebe, who ended up quitting the show due to the comments. Perry then got up from her chair and pretended to faint, as Liebe said: “If Katy lays on the table, I think I’m going to pass out.” The “Roar” singer then replied: “Honey, you been laying on the table too much.” After her audition aired, Liebe posted a TikTok about her appearance on the show, in which she admitted that she found Perry’s joke “hurtful”.
