Kelly Clarkson feared she fell prey to cyclospora, the lettuce-linked parasite, over the weekend.
The singer, 44, shared a âTMIâ confession with concert attendees while performing in Las Vegas on Saturday.
The âAmerican Idolâ alum hesitated before âgo[ing] ahead and say[ing] it.â
âI donât know whatâs wrong with me,â she spilled. âI donât know if Iâve got that thing where people eat lettuce and sât. I donât know what the fâk.
âBut last night during the show, I was like, âOh my God. Jesus,ââ she continued. âI get back to my room, and I have never been so happy there is not a man in the room because he for sure would never make sweet love to this again.â
As the audience laughed, the singer went on to reference the âBridesmaidsâ food poisoning scene, quipping the 2011 movie âainât got sât on what happened in [her] life.â
She added, âI was like, âOh, Lord!â You know the part where you think itâs over, it has to be over, no girl!â
Clarkson praised the âwarm toiletsâ in Sin City before declaring, âIâm gonna be single until Iâm dead. Itâs fine. Iâm gonna find another weird motherfâker out there.â
Noting that was âno segue from thatâ to her next song, the âVoiceâ judge concluded, âI hope tonight is not like that.â
TikTok users raved over Clarkson, who released her âIâd Be Lyinââ single Friday, âdoing standupâ with her âonstage banter.â
One commented that the ârelatableâ Grammy winner âis so real for sharing those kinda stories and also giving âno fâks.â
She did not hint at the bathroom nightmare in her Instagram caption about Fridayâs show, which read, âIâd Be Lyinâ if I said I didnât have the best time last night! The crowd was so loud, thank you for singing along!â
Cyclospora causes cyclosporiasis, an intestinal illness characterized by prolonged diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea, fatigue, bloating, weight loss and low-grade fever, per the CDC.
The outbreak, which the CDC states has sickened more than 1,600 people in 34 states, started in May.
A âChallengeâ star named Leroy Garrett dished on his experience with the parasite last week, describing his âweekend with [his] toiletâ in an unfiltered Instagram video.
âIt feel like you got Timberlands in a dryer inside your stomach,â he explained. âImagine putting some Timberlands in a dryer. You know what that would sound like? Thatâs what your stomach sounds and feels like.â
