The 25-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/motherhood">mom</a> of three who Katy Perry was accused of “bullying” on “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/american-idol">American Idol</a>” just abruptly quit the show during Sunday night’s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment">episode</a>.
“I didn’t really know what show business was and then I came here and I got a little taste of it and I’m like woooo,” Sarah Beth Liebe, who has been a mother and a wife since she was 18, <a href="https://parade.com/tv/american-idol-sara-beth-quit">told</a> her mentor Clay Aiken during the episode. “I don’t feel like I fit the mold, so I’m trying to figure this all out.”
“I don’t think I realized quite how hard it would be to be away from my kids. They’re all still very young. I feel I’m going to try my best because I’m here, so that’s what I should do. There’s a lot of guilt when you leave your kids to do something completely selfish. I’m just going to try to keep my head on straight,” the contestant said ahead of singing “Roxanne” by The Police.
After nailing her song, Liebe shocked the judges by announcing she was leaving “Idol.” 
“This opportunity is really rad, but this actually is going to be my last performance because my heart’s at home, so I’m going to get home to my babies. They kind of need me. Thank you,” she said.
The judges, including Perry, tried to talk her out of quitting.
“Sara Beth, I know that life is scary,” Perry said. “I know it is easier to walk away than to be rejected, but then I also know that you lose out on your fullest potential. I know you love your family, your kids, I know that as a mother, but remember, self-love is just as big as motherly love. Don’t leave the competition.”
Liebe told one of the producers backstage, “I know I’m not going to win the show anyway, so I might as well go home.”

She previously made headlines when Perry mocked her for “laying on the table too much,” referencing how many kids she had at a young age. Liebe later called the jokes “embarrassing” and “hurtful,” saying she believed “mom-shaming is super lame.”
