The behavior of Katy Perry on "American Idol" has left fans with a sour taste in their mouths.
According to an insider who spoke to Radar Online, the "I Kissed A Girl" singer's "rude and condescending" comments made to heartbroken contestants have been the final straw, with producers of the show now taking notice.
In a troubling turn of events, fans of the singer-songwriter are angry over her treatment of an aspiring singing duo on the reality singing show.
An insider reports that the 38-year-old award-winning performer summoned the pair onto a national stage without allowing them to rehearse first and criticized their work as "underwhelming."
Katy immediately received harsh criticism after she made hurtful comments to 25-year-old Sara Beth Liebe, who subsequently decided to leave the singing competition.
Sara had previously shared with the judges her role as a mother of three, and in response, Katy put on an act of being underwhelmed while Luke Bryan supported her by fanning her.
At the sight of Katy lying on the table, Sara exclaimed they would pass out.
Their response provoked a sharp retort from Katy, which all those watching did not take kindly.
Due to the incident, Sara left "American Idol" shortly afterward - but with the "Dark Horse" being granted a free pass for their actions.
Nevertheless, other people are still not letting her off so quickly concerning her theatrical antics.
The response to the behavior of Katy on the show has been overwhelmingly negative.
On Instagram, one critic stated that when a male cutie is on stage, "Katy acts like a teenage fool," and followed it with the plea of, "Bye-bye Katy!"
Similarly, another viewer exclaimed their exasperation by posting, "I'm so OVER Katy!"
Meanwhile, a third person came out and said they had enough and "turned OFF Idol tonight!"

Producers are reportedly worried that the cringe-inducing remarks uttered by Katy Perry could mean she has outstayed her welcome.
An insider has revealed that they had become so rattled by her behavior that they have been forced to consider replacing her to satisfy the viewers.
Rumors have been circulating for a while, claiming Katy feels like an outsider on the "American Idol" panel.
"There is plenty of camaraderie between Luke and Lionel, as evidenced by their pranks and inside jokes," one source has said.
Katy's involvement with the show began in season nine when she first appeared as a guest judge and later joined full-time.
