Luke Bryan’s Wife Says He Wasn’t Responsible for Idol Contestant Leaving

We were all left stunned and confused when American Idol contestant Wyatt Pike left the competition last week. Judge Luke Bryan was also absent from the competition during this announcement. Luke was diagnosed with Covid, and said that’s why he wasn’t there. However rumors have been swirling that Luke’s absence was somehow connected to Wyatt’s exit from the competition. Luke’s wife says that’s absolutely not true.

A speculation started on TikTok that Luke got into a physical altercation with Wyatt and led to Pike’s departure, and Bryan’s brief leave from the show. Luke Bryan’s wife set the record straight, “Trust me, he has covid,” she wrote in a Tik Tok comment, captured by E! News. “I kinda wish there was a fight. I’m sick of taking care of kids alone and sanitizing. I’m peeing Lysol!!!”

If that’s not enough evidence; on Wyatt’s final performance Luke said, “I remember one of the coolest things ever happened to me is the day I realized that I get to do music forever, under any circumstance. I’m telling you, Wyatt, you are going to be able to do music for the rest of your life.” Luke loved Wyatt, so we call shenanigans for sure!
