Is Katy Perry being too “judgy” on “American Idol?” In a recent episode of “AI,” during an interaction with contestant Sara Beth Liebe - a 25-year-old mom with three kids - Katy cracked a joke and made some comments that some people online are calling “mom-shaming.” Sara Beth took to her socials to comment on how Katy treated her, which now sets up an awkward reunion. She was voted through to Hollywood Week and will have to face judge Katy once again. Will you be watching?
