Why American Idol Fans Think Breanna Nix Is Leaving the Show
American Idol fans were recently caught off guard by swirling rumors that contestant Breanna Nix is leaving the show early. Many speculated that the fan-favorite had either quit the show or left due to signing a record deal. However, the truth has now come directly from Breanna herself.
Here’s what sparked the exit rumors about Breanna Nix—and how she responded.
Is Breanna Nix leaving American Idol?
No, Breanna Nix is not leaving American Idol Season 23.
Breanna Nix directly addressed speculation that she was leaving the show, shutting down rumors that she exited American Idol or signed a record deal. Taking to Instagram, she clarified her status, writing:
“Hey y’all! Just wanted to clear up a rumor real quick — I have not left American Idol, and I haven’t signed with any record label either. That’s just not true.”
She further added, “If there are any updates in my life, I’ll be the one to post them — personally! I still need your votes (especially if I make it through tomorrow night!). Not sure why someone would make up something like this, but just know I’m still very much on the show and giving it my all. Thanks for the love and support!”
So, who started these rumors? No one knows for sure, but some believe someone spread them to mislead fans and hurt Breanna’s chances in the voting round. If viewers think a contestant has already left, they may stop voting—something that can seriously affect outcomes in a fan-driven competition.
Was Breanna Nix eliminated or is she in American Idol’s Top 20?
Despite the false rumors, Breanna Nix successfully advanced to the Top 20 and remains in the running for the American Idol Season 23 crown. The latest eliminations on the April 20 episode—an Easter-themed “Songs of Faith” night—cut the competition down from 24 to the Top 20.
