Kelly Clarkson has no patience when it comes to online critics. The “I Don’t Think About You” singer just shut down a Twitter user who rudely commented on her divorce.
Earlier this week, the 38-year-old star, who recently split from her husband Brandan Blackstock—more on that later—confirmed that she’s going to join the America’s Got Talent judges panel in Simon Cowell’s place while he recovers from a recent injury.
Shortly after, an online troll used the news to blame Clarkson’s work ethic as the reason for her divorce, writing, “...no wonder her marriage didn't work...surprise she has time for her kids...not the good old country girl we fell in love with...it's all about Kelly being on tv...and no one else...no tears for her...but for her kids.” Ouch.
Clarkson didn’t take the user’s words lightly. In fact, days later she responded in her own, separate tweet. “Wow. Shaming a woman who has a great work ethic, is a great mom, and who steps up and fills in when a friend asks for a favor because that's actually what 'good old country girls' do.... this can't be who you are deep down,” she wrote. “I have more faith in your heart. Aim higher please.” Clearly her clap back worked because the original tweet has since been deleted.
