Katy Perry QUITS American Idol after seven seasons! Singer confirms exit from show eight months after insiders revealed she felt ‘thrown under the bus’ by producers who wanted her to look like the ‘nasty judge’
Katy Perry announced during a performance that she has officially quit American Idol Jimmy Kimmel Live on Monday night, eight months after insiders exclusively revealed to DailyMail.com that she felt “thrown under the bus” by producers.
The 39-year-old pop star and American Idol judge used her spot on the show to announce her departure from the music competition series after nearly seven years.
The multihyphenate has been planning her exit from the show since last year, when it was revealed that she repeatedly felt “thrown under the bus by producers” who she believed were purposefully editing her to look like the “annoying right’.
To share the big news during the TV interview, the shoe designer – who dressed up with fiancé Orlando Bloom last month – showed off her toned tummy in the sexy look.
The long-sleeved outfit hugged her curves and featured a subtle side slit that teased one of her long legs.

The mother-of-one, who shares three-year-old daughter Daisy with her husband-to-be, completed the look with a pair of black open-toe heels.
Perry’s striking look was styled by Tatiana Waterford.
To complement the presentation, California hitmaker Gurls rocked her raven hair in an edgy updo.
The wispy look was broken up with shortened mini bangs that framed the face.

The California-born entertainer stopped by the late night talk show promotes season 22 of American Idol, which premieres Sunday on ABC.
During the chat, Jimmy, 56, asked how long she plans to continue her role as one of three judges, alongside Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan.
“You know, actually this fall in September I’m going to do this huge music festival in Brazil called Rockin’ Rio. It’s really exciting,” Katy began her answer.
‘It’s a big problem. It’s a big deal for people all over the world, especially my Brazilian fans. I think this will probably be my last show, my last season for Idol. I mean, I love Idol so much,” she added.
“It connected me to, like, the heart of America, but I feel like I have to go outside to feel that heartbeat,” Katy explained.
