‘I’d Actually Back Away, Ma’am’: Kelly Clarkson Details Her Most Awkward Fan Interaction, And A Public Restroom Is Involved

‘I’d Actually Back Away, Ma’am’: Kelly Clarkson Details Her Most Awkward Fan Interaction, And A Public Restroom Is Involved

As a long-time fan of Kelly Clarkson and all things entertainment, I must say, her latest story about a fan encounter has left me both amused and appalled. It’s always fascinating to hear about the lives of our favorite celebrities, but this particular anecdote showcases just how far some fans will go to get that elusive autograph.


It’s well-known that celebrities often struggle to keep their personal lives private due to the close connection fans feel with them through their roles in popular films and TV shows. Fans might think they know the actors personally, but this is usually based on their characters or personas. For example, Sabrina Carpenter recently went viral as she couldn’t walk down the street without being bombarded by requests for selfies and autographs. Every actor, musician, or performer has tales of uncomfortable fan encounters, with Kelly Clarkson sharing a story about an overly intrusive experience in a public restroom.

In the upcoming season of Kelly Clarkson’s talk show on television schedules for 2024, a sneak peek from the August 27 episode was shared, which includes Carol Burnett and Kristen Wiig. During the Question-and-Answer segment of The Kelly Clarkson Show, a spectator asked about the celebrities’ most memorable fan interactions, and the host, Kelly Clarkson, didn’t disappoint with an intriguing story. The host stated:

A person unexpectedly slipped a note and pen under the bathroom stall door while I was inside, not just to pass time, but in the midst of a rather serious situation. To put it frankly, I wasn’t merely attending to a bodily need. Instead, I found myself in a predicament that required my full attention. I felt compelled to express my discomfort and asked the person to withdraw, which they didn’t anticipate. Frankly, their action was rather daring.

The singer of “Since U Been Gone” later found herself chuckling – not immediately but in retrospect – as what this individual did was more than just daring, it was downright impolite. Truly, one could say they had cornered her! I must admit, I’m curious about how she recounted the story of obtaining Kelly Clarkson’s autograph to others.

Following Kristen Wiig’s joke implying that Kelly Clarkson could spare a moment to sign something because she was free, it was verified that indeed, the winner of American Idol had provided her signature. Truly, this seems like one of the most uncomfortable scenarios imaginable.

One way to rephrase the given text in a more natural and easy-to-read manner could be: Carol Burnett shared an unusual fan encounter that reminded her of when a girl peeked her head under a stall and asked, “Are you Carol Burnett?” Even though it was a child, Kelly Clarkson commented, but still, wow, that’s scary! Despite the laughter, the Emmy-winning talk show host cautioned fans, expressing her disapproval by saying:

People! That’s not acceptable, that’s unacceptable. At least wait till we’re finished.

Many well-known personalities, such as Kelly Clarkson and Carol Burnett, haven’t been exempt from encountering awkward restroom predicaments during their careers. Similar experiences have been shared by David Tennant from ‘Doctor Who’. Once, while at the gym, he was asked for an autograph while in the shower, which is not only a significant breach of privacy but also impractical as the autograph would end up getting wet.

Giancarlo Esposito, renowned from his role in “The Boys”, shared a humorous yet embarrassing incident. He admitted that he inadvertently intimidated a fan waiting in line for the airplane restroom. It turned out they were simply petrified of his “Breaking Bad” character, Gus Fring, a fear I can empathize with – I’d never hesitate to let Gus Fring go before me to use the bathroom.

Apologize for the uncomfortable situation Kelly Clarkson found herself in when someone slipped a note with paper and pen under her bathroom stall door during her private moment, but take no apologies for the chuckles I got from hearing her recount the incident.
