Kelly Clarkson won the first season of American Idol but the show still has charges to deal with to this day.
The 43-year-old singer and TV presenter admitted that the show promised her prizes, which she has yet to receive, even 23 years later.
The Since U Been Gone hitmaker sat down with Daniel Radcliffe and reality star Rob Rausch for Tuesday’s episode of her The Kelly Clarkson Showwhere Rausch admitted that he still hasn’t received his $220,800 prize from Season 4 of The traitors.
The admission reminded Clarkson of herself, and she exclaimed, “You know what, I relate to this! I relate to this so hardcore. You probably weren’t alive when I was on’American Idol,’ but I was literally in the show.”
Clarkson shared it American Idol had promised her, “‘Oh, you win a million dollars’ or whatever. No, you didn’t. They lied. It was like a million dollar investment in you.”
The Harry Potter Star couldn’t believe the claim and said, “Wait, what?” to which Clarkson doubled down on her demands, adding that she was also promised a car, which she never got.
“And I needed it because my car was totaled and I couldn’t afford the deductible. And then — no! I didn’t get a car,” but fast forward to today, she never got an update on that.
