Several days after the audition aired, Liebe took to TikTok to address what happened. “There was a joke that was made that’s gotten a lot of attention, and I’ve gotten a lot of people reaching out to me asking how I’m feeling,” she said at the start of the video.
She recalled telling the judges that she was a young mother of three, before “Katy Perrymade a joke that wasn’t super kind.”

Reps for Perry andAmerican Idoldid not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s requests for comment Wednesday morning.
During the audition, Perry — who is a mom too, sharing 2-year-old daughterDaisywith fiancéOrlando Bloom— asked Liebe how much she wanted to be a singer.
“Is this your dream? If it’s not your dream you might need to leave because there are a lot of dreams behind you,” Perry told her.
“Right, literally I’m still processing. I can’t even answer,” Liebe said.
The judges ended up sending her to Hollywood with Bryan, 46, voting yes, Richie, 73, voting no, and Perry ultimately sending her through.
“Yeah, I guess? Why not?” Perry said.
