Katy Perry ‘shows disgust for American Idol & implies her wings were clipped on show, but Ryan Seacrest is oblivious’
KATY Perry’s final season on American Idol will be impacted by difficulty and the possibility of aggression, a body language expert has said.
She claimed the Roar hitmaker’s relationship with Ryan Seacrest looked broken while the singer displayed “red flags” during a TV interview on Jimmy Kimmel.
Season 21 saw Katy face backlash from viewers over mom-shaming Sara Beth Liebe.
Sara left the competition citing the need to head home and care for her children.
Katy was also accused of being rude to singer Wé Ani after she did not give her feedback.
“Closed eyes accompanied Katy’s long pauses during her Jimmy Kimmel chat," James told The U.S. Sun.
"These were cut-off rituals to hide her true feelings.
“Katy glanced down at the floor and did a micro-sneer.
"She showed what looked like disgust or rejection when she was asked how long she would stay on the show."
“When she finally announced it would be the last season, there was a micro jaw-jut to suggest aggression.
"This relates to possible upcoming battles," she said.
“When she told Jimmy, ‘I love Idol,’ Katy's hands formed wings that never really reached her heart.
“Her eyes closed again in another lengthy cut-off.
“It is only when she talked about what happens next that she swayed with her hands balled into fists.
“Her words were about freedom and individuality.
“She closed one eye again, and sucked her lips in when she said she was ‘creating space for my new wingspan.’
“This suggested Katy felt her wings were clipped on American Idol.”
Katy’s fellow judges include music superstars and her friends, Lionel Richie, 74, and Luke Bryan, 47.

It was reported that Katy would get $25 million for her judging stints. Whereas Ryan was said to be earning over $10 million.
James suggested the pair look to remain at odds.
“Her smile looks sad and rather pensive here," she said.
"Ryan looked oblivious to Katy's weak smile.
"In Hawaii, she showed a more low-key presence.
"Katy is pure A-list, but there seemed to be no acknowledgment between them.
"Seacrest looked busy and was doing his usual sociable on-brand gestures.
"He showed off his broad smile.
