One person said: “Kelly Clarkson should’ve been canceled when she proudly admitted that she spanks her kids.
“I for one deleted all her music from my library when she said that.”
Another added: “I was spanked as a kid and it was traumatizing. I don’t even remember what I did wrong I only remember being terrified.”
“You can’t hit someone and then teach them that hitting you is wrong,” argued a third.
Somebody else wrote: “I can’t imagine hitting my kid, no matter how frustrating he’s being. Kids don’t have the reasoning and emotional regulation skills adults do.”
Others defended Clarkson, with one fan commenting: “There’s nothing wrong with that! It’s a way of giving discipline to kids in my culture.”
Agreeing, a second said: “All I can say is I stole candy when I was a kid, got spanked, and then never did it again.”
The ‘Stronger’ singer, who shot to fame after winning the first-ever American Idol, shares two children with talent manager Brandon Blackstock.
