Whitney Cummings Warns Kelly Clarkson Over ‘Kellyoke’ Performance’s Impact

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — In a surprising turn of events on April 2, 2025, comedian Whitney Cummings took control during her interview on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” to deliver a stark warning to the host: her performance is reportedly causing marriages to dissolve.

Cummings’ comments came after Clarkson’s Valentine’s Day rendition of The Outfield‘s classic song “Your Love,” during which she notably kept the original lyrics intact, including the line, “you know I like my girls a little bit older,” and added a wink at the camera that sparked laughter from the studio audience.

“Women are leaving their husbands,” Cummings stated emphatically, laughing as she gestured towards Clarkson. “Don’t wink at me, Kelly! She just winked at me. I’m not strong enough!”

The dynamic between the two created both humor and concern, as the comedian joked about Clarkson’s wink. “She winks at the camera like a home-wrecker!” Cummings added, emphasizing the light-hearted yet serious nature of her warning.

In response, Clarkson defended her choice of lyrics, explaining that the performance is meant to be inclusive and playful. Clarkson, who is known for her ability to put her spin on classic tracks, was advocating for artistic freedom in interpretation.

The incident highlights the larger conversation about how performances can impact fans’ lives beyond just entertainment. Cummings’ comments have stirred reactions online, with many fans chiming in on social media about the playful feud.

As Cummings and Clarkson continued their banter, the segment turned to discussions about music, relationships, and the cultural implications of how songs are performed in modern media.
