Kelly Clarkson has accused producers of "American Idol" of failing to deliver the $1 million prize and car that were promised when she won the singing competition's inaugural season.

The allegations came during a recent discussion about prize money delays, when Clarkson was speaking with Rob Rausch about his $220,800 winnings from Season 4 of "The Traitors," which Rausch revealed he has not yet received.

Clarkson, who became the first winner of American Idol in 2002, claimed that the show's producers "lied" about the prize package and that she never received either the promised monetary award or the vehicle that was part of her winnings.

The singer did not provide additional details about the timeline of when she expected to receive the prizes or what efforts were made to obtain them. Representatives for American Idol have not yet responded to the allegations.

Clarkson's victory on American Idol launched her successful music career, leading to multiple Grammy Awards and her current role as a talk show host. The show, which originally aired on Fox before moving to ABC, has crowned numerous winners since Clarkson's groundbreaking win over two decades ago.
