Rejected The Voice contestant apologizes after accusing Kelly Clarkson of doing a "disservice" to gay artists

Towleroad

Molly Stevens, who is gay, called Clarkson "small minded" for comparing her to Melissa Etheridge and the Indigo Girls. Clarkson responded that "this really bums me out. I need everyone 2 hear me & hear ALL OF THE WORDS I SAY. I compared Molly to Melissa Etheridge, Patty Griffin (a name that was left out conveniently), & the Indigo Girls purely because of the rasp in her voice & that she’s an amazing storyteller." Stevens later apologized, posting on Instagram: "I don’t think Kelly Clarkson meant ANYTHING by this and even gave it any thought but clearly I did."
