WRITTEN BY SUMI DEKA
Katy Perry has been a well-known face in the music industry but she has grabbed the limelight this time for a joke which has not been well-received.
An American Idol contestant has criticized Perry for a joke that is being termed as mom shaming. The person has been identified as Sara Beth Liebe.
The 25-year-old went to the competition in front of Perry and her fellow judges, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan. The group expressed astonishment at Liebe’s age insisting that she could pass for a 16 year old.
While she disclosed that she is the mother of three children, Perry jokingly rose from her chair and acted like she was about to fall back on the table.
Liebe said that if Perry lied on the table thinking that she is going to pass out and Perry said that she has been laying on the table too much.
The comment was not liked by many people on social media and it was met with criticism by those who believed that Perry was mom shaming Liebe.
Liebe shared a post on TikTok saying that the joke was not super kind and that it was embarrassing and hurtful. She said that the women supporting and uplifting other women is cool and she thinks that mom-shaming is very lame.
Liebe added that she wants all the mothers to love their babies and that no one deserves to feel ‘crappy’ about the same. She mentioned that if someone thinks that she is a good mother and loves her babies, it is everything that matters.
