Kelly Clarkson did not have the easiest transition in fame, but Jennifer Love Hewitt was a huge help.
Clarkson, 38, thanked Hewitt, 41, for her kind words during her 2002 “American Idol” internship in Thursday’s episode of “The Kelly Clarkson Show.”
“It simply came to our notice then [for] so much so, almost 20 years ago, ”Clarkson began. “But right after – I have no idea I’m going to say that and you probably don’t remember – but it was at some kind of MTV awards or something or VMA or something, I don’t know what it was, but you ran to me. And it was right when, like the last three, I think of “Idol” and we were so down and everything was going like a whirlwind, and people like these were really bad for us because we’re from a talent show and it was the first season. ”
She continued: “It was as if everyone was so rude to us, like on the carpet, like at the show … it was so bad. It was a horrible experience and you came to me and ran out of nowhere and said, “Oh, Lord! I am truly rooted for you! ‘”
“You told me, ‘Please keep those you love so close, and it will be about a few people in your life, unfortunately, but this business can be very difficult. And don’t forget to keep those people who really love you – and you just gave me this advice that was really, really kind at such an unpleasant time for me personally, “Clarkson said as Hewitt smiled. , adding: “So thank you so much, it meant the world to me. You were so nice. ”
Earlier, Clarkson opened up to Demi Lovato about her fight for fame, telling her in a June episode of her show: and give the people more ammunition for all the trolls there. ”
