Kelly Clarkson Jokes About a 'Bridesmaids'-Level Bathroom Emergency in Vegas
The singer's TMI stage confession involved a suspected parasite, a warm toilet, and a text memo to her band leader—but thankfully, no romantic witnesses.
Kelly Clarkson made a TMI confession during her July 18 concert at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, as reported by E! News. She joked that her sudden, severe bout of diarrhea might be connected to a cyclospora outbreak linked to contaminated lettuce. "I don't know if I got that thing that people, like, eat lettuce s--t. But last night during the show, I was like, ‘Oh, my God!’ And I get back to my room, and I have never been so happy there is not a man in the room."
She added that the experience was so intense, it surpassed a Hollywood comedy's low point. "Bridesmaids ain't got s--t on what happened in my room." Clarkson described the ordeal as a multi-stage event, noting, "You know the part where you think it's over? You're like, ‘It has to be over.’ No, girl."
Single and Surviving
Her self-deprecating humor turned to her love life, with the 44-year-old expressing gratitude that no romantic partner was present to witness the incident. She quipped that such a sight would have doomed her romantic prospects. "He for sure would never make sweet love to this again." The Grammy winner then shrugged off the situation with a laugh, telling the crowd, "Oh, I’ll just be single till I'm dead. It's fine. I'm gonna find another weird motherf--ker out there." She also found a silver lining in the venue's amenities, saying, "What's awesome is that they have warm toilets for you here,"
Clarkson did have one confidant for the ordeal: her band leader, Jason Halbert. She shared that she texted him a lengthy memo about the incident, though she spared him the graphic details. "I sent him a text that was like a memo—I don't even know how long it was," By the time of her next show, the storm had passed. Clarkson confirmed from the stage, 'It is not. I feel fine. Thank you.'
