David Foster is slammed by wife Katharine McPhee's furious fans for saying she was 'FAT' during American Idol auditions in resurfaced video

David Foster is feeling the wrath of his wife Katharine McPhee's fans after a video resurfaced on social media of him calling her 'fat.'

The outrage-inducing clip, which was initially posted to TikTok in March 2023, was taken from a concert performance of the couple's show together in which Katharine, 40, recounted the first time she met her future husband, 74, when she was appearing on the fifth season American Idol in 2006. It's unclear if Katharine or David ever repeated the exchange about her weight in another show, but it's not uncommon for acts to plan out or script apparent 'off-the-cuff' banter in order to create more natural-sounding interactions and to avoid awkward moments. People reacting to the resurfaced clip appeared to assume that David's 'fat' comment was a genuine statement of his opinion, and negative responses to the video spread to other social media platforms.
