Katy Perry is reportedly considering stepping down from American Idol after being portrayed as the mean judge.

A source told Daily Mail, the 38-year-old pop star believes she has been repeatedly “thrown under the bus by producers” who she feels have edited the show to make her appear to be the “nasty judge.”

In April, the “Teenage Dream” singer was booed by the audience for the first time in six years for slamming contestant Nutsa Buzaladze’s glittery outfit choice.
