Kelly Clarkson’s ‘personal edition’ behind absence, staff now on Edge

The insider also emphasized that there was “no reason for the alarm” and the host was “completely fine”.

While she returned last Thursday, there is still a lot of unrest behind the scenes with sources that say that the behavior of the 42-year-old has shifted drastically since he returned.

She would often have casual conversations with staff about their lives, laughing and apologizing for any distractions, but they claimed that behavior was completely stopped.

An old employee said to DailyMail: “She used to be so accessible. She would be at your desk and just talk. Ask for your life.

“She knows the names of everyone’s spouses and children and would ask for it by name.”

They continued: “She would talk and talk, and then she would suddenly apologize that she took you away from work. I always had something like that:” You are the boss; you don’t have to apologize, “and she would laugh.”

Since the return of Clarkson, the employee said that her handlers have kept her away from the team and made sure that she avoids uncomfortable questions about her absence.

They added: “It is now just a very strange atmosphere and nobody has any idea what’s going on.

“It is really disturbing. It is not knowing that it makes it really difficult for everyone. If you don’t know what’s going on, you just take the worst. That is human nature.”

A second staff member confirmed that the team of more than 100 employees feels anxious, they often get reassurance that they are not at risk of losing their jobs.

They explained: “We all walk on eggshells; there are not many answers.

“But we are sure that our jobs are safe and that she will be back full -time. It was a personal problem and it works out now, and things will be normal again before we know it.

“They say the show is going on and we’ll all be fine.”

She told her audience: “We laughed together, we cried together with wonderful stories, sung together with a few people, dance together, celebrated and competed together.

“I lost a lot alone.”

It is unclear what Clarkson meant, but after the studio audience laughed awkwardly, she quickly paused to reassure them and said, “It’s ok!”

Elsewhere during the monologue, Clarkson also admitted that he had gone through the fight in her own personal life.

She said: “We have created a community and supported each other by many ups and downs.
