Why Katy Perry Wants to Quit American Idol
According to sources, Katy Perry might not return to Season 22 of American Idol since she feels like the producers are “throwing her under the bus” and going out of their way to portray her as the ‘nasty judge.’
“She went into it thinking she was going to foster young talent. For her good intentions to be misinterpreted it was not what she wanted,” a source told Daily Mail. “She has accomplished so much in her career and is now being looked at as a nasty reality show judge.”
They added, “Katy’s wanted out for some time now, but this season was way too much for her to handle.” According to sources, Katy Perry may return to Season 22 of American Idol since she feels like the producers are “throwing her under the bus” and going out of their way to portray her as the “nasty judge.”

She was also criticized by fans for engaging in “psychological warfare” when she led a number of candidates to believe they were eliminated when they were actually moving on to the next round.
