"American Idol contestant quits after Katy Perry's 'mom-shaming' remark"

Sara Beth Liebe, a mother of three and contestant on American Idol, quit the show after feeling homesick and selfish about leaving her family behind to pursue the competition. Despite being accused of "mom-shaming" by judge Katy Perry during her audition, Liebe impressed the judges with her performance of "Roxanne" during the Hollywood round. Perry tried to convince her to stay, but Liebe ultimately decided to leave. She revealed on TikTok that she was scouted to audition for the show and is grateful for the experience, but ultimately made the decision that was best for her and her family.
