Kelly Clarkson's Recent Clip Discussing Parenthood Divides Fans
Kelly Clarkson
Some Kelly Clarkson fans aren't happy with one of the recent clips from her talk show, and it's largely a misunderstanding.
On Monday, March 11, the award-winning talk show host was deep in conversation with guest Lindsay Lohan, who welcomed her first child last summer.
During their discussion, Clarkson, 41, asked Lohan, "How do you love it [being a mom]?" to which Lohan, 37, replied, "I love it, love it."
"It's the coolest thing," Clarkson interjected. "All of a sudden, I don't even know how to describe it. I don't think you have to become a mother or a father to be complete as a human, but I will say it feels like it did round me out."
However, after a technical error incorrectly translated Clarkson's comment to read, "I think you have to become a mother or father," those who watched the tape without the audio were mistakenly enraged by the remarks.
"No, you don’t have to become a mother or a father to be a whole as a human!" one outraged fan wrote.
"So those who either choose not to become parents or are unable to become parents are not complete humans?!" another top-liked comment angrily asked.
"So you're saying that people who don't have kid's are an incomplete human? How can you say that? I don't have kids so that makes me less of a human," someone else shared, in part.
"I’m a mom, but i can see that was a really hurtful turn of phrase to say you have to be one to be complete as a human. A lot of people can’t have kids and they are as complete as anyone else!" another declared.
The list of wrongly misinterpreted comments continued, but so did those from fans defending the Grammy winner.
"The subtitle was wrongly written," one pointed out to a disgruntled viewer.
"She said 'you don’t have to become a mother or father to be complete as a human' so what are you even talking about?" a second replied.
"She literally said she doesn't think you have to become a mother or father to be complete as a human but it rounded her out," a third shared. "Pay attention."
"Everybody--the captions are wrong, and missed the word 'don't,'" another wrote in part.
Eeek! It was definitely the Monday after Daylight Savings when this was posted.
