Two months ago, we reported that The Kelly Clarkson Show had descended into chaos. Indeed, it was being claimed that “heartbroken” staffers were threatening to quit the popular talk show after slamming host Kelly Clarkson for being “ungrateful.”
Now, things have gotten even worse for Clarkson, as her own talk show staffers are publicly turning on her. They’re even revealing the humiliating name that they call Clarkson behind the original American Idol winner’s back.
Clarkson’s Staffers Turn On Her
On Friday, Clarkson shocked the world when she canceled the opening two concerts of her new Las Vegas residency minutes before she was set to perform. This didn’t sit well with those who work for Clarkson.
“I love Kelly dearly, but the whiplash is a lot with her right now,” a staffer on her eponymous TV show told Daily Mail. “She’s all in on the talk show, then she’s not, then she is again. She’s performing in Vegas, now she’s not. It’s her voice, it’s personal issues. It’s enough to make you crazy.”
The insider went on to reveal that this kind of behavior from Clarkson has led to her staffers calling her a “flake” behind her back.
“She’s the sweetest woman in show business,” the source continued. “And not to be mean, but she’s being a flake. I’m sorry, but that’s how it feels. She’s being flaky. And that’s very hard to be in business with.”

Is Clarkson Leaving Her Talk Show?
Clarkson’s contract with NBC expires in 2026. Though her talk show is a huge hit in the ratings, rumors are swirling that Clarkson is considering walking away from it when her contract is up next year.
“If she leaves, she leaves. We’ll be okay,” the talk show staffer said. “We just need to know what’s next so we can plan.”
As for the cancelation of her concerts last weekend, the staffer isn’t quite sure what’s really going on.
“Honestly, I don’t know if it’s her voice or not,” the insider admitted. “She has had voice issues before and obviously it’s a lot of work preparing for a residency.’
“But this is not good,” the staffer concluded. “It feels like she has been phoning it in on the show because she wants to perform, but she then postpones her residency. It has people here really wondering.”

Clarkson ‘Blindsided’ Her Crew
This comes after another insider spoke out to say that Clarkson “blindsided” her crew when she canceled her concerts just 90 minutes before showtime.
“Everyone working behind the scenes was in complete shock,” a source told The Sun. “They woke up Friday expecting a normal day of work and began their day like always. It wasn’t until hours into the work day everyone was told the news. A lot of the crew found out on social media which is utterly disrespectful.”
“It’s disrespectful to do that to so many people who worked their [expletive] off for your show,” the insider continued. “She’s definitely lost the respect and confidence of a lot of her workers.”
The source went on to say that when Clarkson canceled the show, there were already “so many fans” waiting outside the venue to get in. Some of them allegedly “burst into tears” when the cancelation was announced.
“The crew was setting up like normal and bam, it hit,” the insider recounted. “Fans crying about wasting thousands of dollars, fans who flew from outside of the country to see Kelly for the first time. She doesn’t realize the depth of how much she let people down and most of them were crying they can’t afford to come back another weekend.”
As of this writing, Clarkson is still set to perform in Las Vegas on Friday and Saturday. Only time will tell if she continues both her residency and her talk show longterm!
