Kelly Clarkson Stepped Back From Her Show, Why?
Kelly Clarkson historically won the first season of American Idol in 2002. She went on to become one of the reality show’s biggest success stories that only Season 4 winner Carrie Underwood has come close to touching.
Fans adore the “Since U Been Gone” singer. In 2019, she began hosting an eponymous talk show. The Kelly Clarkson show has racked up multiple Daytime Emmys, including for Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show Host. The popular daytime talk show is currently in its sixth season. Season 7 has already been renewed, and more seasons will likely be approved. The talk show moved from Los Angeles to NYC ahead of its fifth season.
Viewers noticed something strange about the show recently. Kelly Clarkson has been absent from the show for a while now. Celebrity guest hosts, including model Molly Sims, actress Brooke Shields, and comedian Wanda Sykes, have stepped in as replacements. The guest hosts will continue until Clarkson returns to the show.
Television viewers are greatly concerned for Clarkson. She’s been missing from her talk show for weeks, and no one knows why. The show hasn’t addressed the absence, but a source finally broke their silence and explained where the singer has been and when she will return.
Kelly Clarkson’s Absence Concerns Fans
Kelly Clarkson hasn’t been on her talk show since the beginning of March. Some fans are flat-out refusing to watch without her as host of the show. The posts on the official Kelly Clarkson Show Instagram are constantly flooded with questions about what’s going on.
- “Is Kelly safe?”
- “Is kelly okay???”
- “Where is Kelly!!!!!!????”
With no answers, fans have been forced to come up with their own theories. One viewer wrote, “Kelly on spring break. She be back next week.” Several fans have questioned if Kelly Clarkson’s absence is related to side effects from the Ozempic-like medication she used to lose a drastic amount of weight.
Others shared concern that something was going on with Kelly Clarkson’s kids, 10-year-old daughter River Rose, and 8-year-old son Remington “Remy” Alexander. She shares the children with her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock. The former couple broke up in 2020 after nearly seven years of marriage. The singer filed for divorce that year but the messy divorce wasn’t finalized until 2022.
Clarkson had to pay her ex a one-time payment of just over $1.3 million as part of the settlement agreement.
Why She Stepped Back From Talk Show
According to sources, Kelly Clarkson won’t be missing from her daytime talk show much longer. An insider spilled to TMZ that she will be back on set this week. Why was she missing for so long? Is everything okay?
The person with knowledge of the situation revealed that Kelly Clarkson is fine. She abruptly stepped away from the talk show to deal with an unexplained “personal matter.” The source didn’t reveal more details than that. But Kelly Clarkson will likely address the situation when she’s ready.
Are you happy to know that Kelly Clarkson is okay and returning to her talk show soon? Sound off in the comments.
