Singer Molly Stevens, who was on Clarkson’s team until she was eliminated during Monday’s battle rounds, shared in a now-deleted Instagram post that she was offended by Clarkson saying that she reminded her of the Indigo Girls and Melissa Etheridge, saying it was a “labeling trap” and “small minded.”
Kelly Clarkson has responded to an eliminated The Voice contestant who accused the American Idol alum of being “small minded” for comparing her to other gay performers.
“I compared Molly to Melissa Etheridge, Patty Griffin, & the Indigo Girls purely because the rasp in her voice & that she’s an amazing storyteller,” Clarkson explained.
“It felt small minded to me and exactly what I feel we need to bring attention to the world.”
