Thank you.

And WTF, Katy?

u/angstt 16h ago

Do you remember when Sandra Bullock married Jesse James? Same thing.

u/Whybotherr 9h ago

Pamela Anderson and kid rock

8

u/DaKind28 3h ago

Pamela marrying kid rock wasn’t weird at all, she was also married Tommy Lee. She was also kinda wild rock chic herself.

u/Webbie-Vanderquack 1h ago

They didn't say it was weird, they said it was a bad decision.

u/FlyAirLari 8m ago

For which one?

u/PsychedelicPill 8h ago

Amusingly she’s gonna pseudo-Marxist since leaving Kid Rock (for physically abusing her)

Do you remember when Gavin Newsom was married to Kimberly Guilfoyle? Same thing.

Imagine being wiener cousins with Don Jr

I prefer the term Eskimo Brothers

u/purplenurple24 8h ago

Taco?!?

u/thecheat420 8h ago

"Hi I'm Taco."

"Taco we've been friends for 25 years."

What about Joanie and Chachi? Whoa! Memba them?

I think he's just fond of conservatives. https://www.sacbee.com/opinion/article301664854.html

Weird pairings like these make me wonder if those Hollywood Illuminati conspiracies are valid.

No not the same thing.

u/jeeves585 9h ago

I had forgotten. Jesse went through some shit right around the time Sandra did. To my knowledge they are both doing well these days.

u/DavidOrWalter 7h ago

You get a feeling that she’s very much the same as him. He just cheated on her.

u/gwen-heart 18h ago

It was during his acting career and he asked for divorce just as she was about to start a concert.

u/RyghtHandMan 16h ago

You gotta wonder what it's like to be the person that this person dumped

174

u/-Felyx- 14h ago

She's doing fine now. She upgraded to Orlando Bloom

u/suspicious-sauce 14h ago

The Elf?

u/UnableInvestment8753 13h ago

How about a friend?

u/KacerRex 13h ago

Aye, I could do that.

Aye, I could do that.

Damn, good for her.

u/TGin-the-goldy 11h ago

MASSIVE upgrade

u/Phoenix_GU 8h ago

100 times better!

5

u/Relative_Bathroom824 11h ago

He downgraded from, well, everybody he's dated.

1

u/PlayMp1 5h ago

Hey, she fits in that line up perfectly fine

55

u/Hippiebigbuckle 14h ago

It’s not that uncommon. Manipulators like Brand count on other people’s good nature in order to abuse it.

3

u/matt_minderbinder 5h ago

And Perry grew up in a high demand religion with extremely devout family. Those people are primed to overlook obvious red flags and avoid asking the uncomfortable questions.

8

u/Bullets_TML 15h ago

No one's ever called him smart, so there's that

3

u/sanderson1983 14h ago

Very articulate, I'll give him that.

4

u/hatsnatcher23 14h ago

Articulate in a regurgitative and vain way maybe.

7

u/nobuhok 15h ago

From his other girl's phone.

No, just kidding, but it was through text.

2

u/sick-with-sadness 13h ago

It was fucking SAAAD bro

u/blonderengel 1h ago

Classy.

u/hiresometoast 17h ago

Very manipulative timing on his part

27

u/Jean-LucBacardi 17h ago

Least weird thing she's done.

5

u/no_talent_ass_clown 13h ago

AND SHE DID.

I'm sure that "the show must go on" but in her documentary she shows the greatest internal fortitude I've ever seen.

3

u/psilokan 12h ago

I mean, she's a piece of shit too, but ok

5

u/gwen-heart 11h ago

She wasn’t hated when the documentary came out and for that moment I also felt empathy but was amazed at how she still went on with a tour. Her being horrible came as a realization more recently for some but that moment is still impressive to think about.

1

u/wayofthegenttickle 7h ago

Im completely out of the loop, why is she horrible?

1

u/TGin-the-goldy 11h ago

“Career”

u/gwen-heart 11h ago

just didn’t want to write era or whatever it’s part of his resume at any rate 🤷‍♀️

72

u/JamJamGaGa 17h ago

I mean, let's not act like she's not a fucking weirdo as well. Not as bad as Russel, but she's still pretty bad.

2

u/edicspaz 13h ago

I’ve never heard that. What’s her story?

27

u/memeparmesan 13h ago

She made her latest flop with Dr. Luke, the man who raped and abused her one time close friend Ke$ha. She also testified on his behalf as a character witness during his trial.

8

u/Ifriendzonecats 9h ago

Including the song Woman's World, which was produced by Dr. Luke. Even from a purely self-interested point of view, she had know that was a bad decision. Or least some people in her inner circle had to know.

-13

u/North-Country-5204 12h ago

And she starred in the white savior movie The Blind Side. 🤮

136

u/Johnnygunnz 17h ago

She's been problematic for a while. She has been accused of sexual harassment by a few people. She was really inappropriate with Bieber when he was still a minor. She's had other accusers, too, including a guy she made a music video with, Josh Kloss, where she kinda pulled a guy's pants and underwear out so she could show his dick to her friends.

46

u/UsernameStolenbyyou 17h ago

She even kissed that really young, hot contestant on the show without any consent-- on camera.

39

u/ThrowawayPersonAMA 15h ago

that really young, hot

r/HolUp/

26

u/harrietww 15h ago

He got arrested for possessing child pornography if that makes him less hot in your eyes.

16

u/Cicer 14h ago

That guy is objectively not hot

48

u/jordsbr 17h ago

She also kissed a girl and said she enjoyed it.

11

u/Plantwork 16h ago

I hope Russel was ok with that.

10

u/Cicer 14h ago

Apparently he don’t mind it

u/babyblew82 16h ago

I'll go out on a limb and say it's quite likely that the kid enjoyed it

7

u/Wangledoodle 15h ago

Pretty irrelevant though.

-3

u/Richeh 14h ago

Nnnnnot... really? I suspect that if you thinking whether someone was raped onstage or not is irrelevant, you're getting lost in the sauce.

2

u/ThrowawayPersonAMA 13h ago

They're saying whether or not the person enjoyed it is irrelevant, moron.

0

u/Wangledoodle 12h ago

Good job dipshit. Whether he enjoyed it or not is irrelevant.

2

u/Richeh 11h ago

Whether or not he wanted it to not happen is 100% the point.

It is not assault if nobody was assaulted. The deciding factor is entirely the remit of the person involved, not whether or not your sensibilities were aggrieved.

2

u/katf1sh 9h ago

Consent is still a thing for a reason. It doesn't matter if you wound up enjoying it. You can't just touch and grope on someone without consent first. If you don't get consent, that opens up a whole can of worms, and possible future lawsuits. If it was a man who did that to a woman, would you still have defended it? We're still talking no previous consent here, bc that's the issue.

3

u/kuribosshoe0 14h ago

“Your honour, the victim enjoyed it. Therefore my client’s sexual assault is fine.” is definitely a take.

7

u/8----B 12h ago

You really don’t see the contextual difference here? Fuck… Reddit is too far gone. It’s just extremists from one view or another

1

u/katf1sh 9h ago

I just responded to someone else who basically said the same. I'm awaiting downvotes now bc there's a lot of weird takes in these comments smh. I guess consent almost never matters when its an attractive woman...I hate these double standards. Its sick

0

u/Local-Hornet-3057 9h ago

Consent is important but it's not the deciding factor if this instante counts as assault or not. It's not a hard concept, but this is Reddit Tumblr here...

If the guy actually liked it then there's no crimen. Period. You can pearl clutch and virtue signal whatever you want but with the information at hand it's kinda pointless to speculate.

2

u/Cicer 14h ago

I bet he was fine and could have gotten up and walked away if he was uncomfortable. 

Attitudes like this is why we can’t have nice things. 

4

u/kuribosshoe0 14h ago

That’s not how consent works at all. I hope you’re breaking Reddit’s rules about age restrictions, because adults should know this shit.

u/Majestic-Reality-544 7h ago

Without consent? Look at the picture he’s reaching for a kiss!

12

u/Ostribitches 16h ago

She was a creep towards a teenage Bo Burnam.

2

u/FireWokWithMe88 6h ago

This isn't about her

7

u/CherryHaterade 14h ago

Back on Warped Tour she was well known as a party animal of a girl, even by guy standards, she hooked up with a bunch of people and even got tagged for being annoying by some bands, don't let her on our bus/in our spaces, etc.

1

u/Ok_Entry1818 13h ago

sandra bullock wit the freak off shenanigans?

3

u/AlfhildsShieldmaiden 11h ago

I was really surprised and confused, too — they’re still talking about Katy Perry; Sandra Bullock was mentioned as an aside. 😆

1

u/Hopeful-General-2376 11h ago

Oh, that’s normal

-1

u/shutupyourenotmydad 9h ago

She was super gross to Bo Burnham that one time.

Also, isn't she releasing a new single featuring Diddy?

8

u/mysterpixel 15h ago

Katy Perry's childhood was cult-level religious irrationality. And her parents are still fully in it, even running as Republican politicians. Always look at Katy Perry's behaviour through that lens.

1

u/FloydetteSix 9h ago

Yes. I’ve met folks affiliated with that church.

11

u/TheAvenger23 17h ago

Katy is like the person who bought a Tesla 2 years ago... looks insane now, but back then, it wasn't too bad.

u/brrbles 17h ago

It's 2025, 2 years ago would be plenty late enough to know.

u/Brigadier_Beavers 17h ago

the owner is world famous for doing nazi salutes and there have been massive recalls on the cars. tesla was novel when they were the first big EV brand, but theres plenty of other safer options now without the political baggage.

2

u/ExtensionHope3883 13h ago

I get your political affiliations, but they're not horrible cars, the only decent alternative EV is Lucid and Chinese brands.

4

u/mc360jp 15h ago

They are #1 in accident fatalities, I believe.

Ranked as the most unsafe car manufacturer.

You're not as clever as you think you are, comrade.

u/kaytin911 14h ago

It's not. The modern brown shirts have been targeting them and they are probably in these comments.

2

u/CaineBK 12h ago

The billionaires are lucky to have a defender like you.

-2

u/kaytin911 12h ago

The side that is doing tariffs are defenders of the billionaires?

u/mc360jp 23m ago

Yes. You’re too dumb to see their long term goal.

The tariffs hurt EVERYONE. You & I will be fucked. groceries, gas, electronics, fast food, literally everything will get more expensive because every company imports goods and will pass the tariffs onto the consumer… The billionaires aren’t immune to a lot of that BUT it doesn’t fucking matter to them because they’re BILLIONAIRES. You are not. I am not. We have a finite amount of money, we cannot sustain ourselves in a recession like they can.

Dave Portnoy, for example, cries because he lost $7m on the market… he never even had that $7m, it was not real money he had. He still has shit tons of money in the bank and can sit in a recession for a while. As a matter of fact, when a bunch of regular Americans have to foreclose on their homes or sell their businesses, guess who will be lining up to take advantage of all this new & cheap property? It won’t be you or me buying real estate and land in the midst of a recession because we will be budgeting our asses off.

u/FlimsyMo 17h ago

It’s not if you touch grass, dudes a clown

2

u/Suchega_Uber 13h ago

She's not what you call innocent either, just saying. Brand is a sex pest, but she normalized inappropriate behavior around children. I'd wager she is a sex pest too and that's how they bonded.

2

u/VictarionGreyjoy 10h ago

Eh he's kinda on brand for her. She's a dickhead

2

u/PlsNoNotThat 9h ago

Katy is shitty too, apparently

2

u/iannmichael 2h ago

Not a Katy Stan but how does Katy get the blame in this again? lol. It’s interesting that the world wants to see her fail and shit on her for shaving her head and bleaching it and “loosing it,” yet it all came after this dude text her that he was divorcing her as she was walking out to perform on stage. Victim of major narcissistic abuse that she is still paying for today.

Not wtf, Katy, Wtf, Russell.

u/spawnbait 8h ago

I don’t get it either, she’s so smart! I mean, just read her lyrics. Like, read them.

1

u/ragnhildensteiner 7h ago

She's not a prize either

u/TheClaudinator 6h ago

Katy is kinda her own brand crazy too

1

u/Confused_Sorta_Guy 5h ago

Not exactly shocking knowing how Katy is tbh

1

u/meatloafcat819 3h ago

Even worse was he initiated the divorce when she was touring. She was back stage with her little candy outfit on five minutes before she sings for him to tell her he’s leaving. It’s not the worst thing he’s done but it really speaks to his character.

Katy also pulled herself together and did the show great after breaking down for a few minutes so go girl.

"Bad Boy" phase?

u/Vil3Miasma 18h ago

Only after people have been accused or convicted people like you will come out of the water, jumping on the bandwagon just to get a couple of likes (which you didn't even get). It's quite pathetic to be honest
