Katy Perry

Female controller of Radio 2. She resigned. And very unpopular she was with staff, too.

I guess we were due a "women are just as bad" thread. No they're not. What @Bigcat25 and @SwampM0nster said above.

Can you stop being so cross with us all and just tell us what you know please.

I am only just reading about all this right here, right now in your thread.

Yes I’ve just looked up the list of allegations against her and to compare them with RB is so disingenuous.

In every case it’s clear she was trying to be silly/goofy/outrageous. Obviously none of it is okay, but to pretend it’s in any way comparable to the sexually motivated predation of someone like RB is just foolish. It’s treated differently because it is hugely different. Of course where she’s acted criminally that should be pursued, but they are NOTHING alike.

I don't think it's just beacause she's a woman. These things tend to come out many years later after a long period of bad behavior. I'm not excusing her - I don't pay attention to her. Yes assault, is a crime and should be taken seriously, but what RB did was an order of magnitude bigger. (Multiple rapes and coercive control.)

Are you serious? I see one mumsnet thread of accusations I have never heard before and choose not to give an opinion on them. Do you expect people to just join in with the dissing because you claim you read it on the internet?

I have not said I believe her to be all rainbows and unicorns. If there is improper conduct by anyone male or female it should be dealt with properly.

I came across this video - why is she behaving like a four year old. Also what she says about “controlling the …” . I appreciate she is 26 and probably very different now but she comes across so immature and unhinged. m.youtube.com/watch?v=VJWRsIwfxL4&pp=ygUYcnVzc2VsbCBicmFuZCBrYXR5IHBlcnJ50gcJCUcMAYcqIYzv&ra=m

I actually wasn’t aware of these allegations about KP.
if they’re true, it’s disgusting and she should face full criminal investigation.

Yes because the woman is always the one responsible. Apparently, ‘enabling’ is worse than perpetrating the sick crimes

I’ve found the excuses people are making for her silence quite nauseating.

I thought she was kind of cancelled for her Epstein connection, then she popped up for the coronation concert, as she is friendly with the royal family, but really apart from that she's not in the public eye, except the space trip, but that didn't give her a resurgence of fans

I do understand where the op is coming from, we’ve saw it recently with the Lindsey Clancy story, if that was a man there wouldn’t be any sympathy for their mental health and the help they didn’t get.

I think there are double standards for women, which I think originated from being so much less able to do physical harm and inability to impregnate, and the assumption that victims would be physically more able to stop a female perpetrator. They do occasionally get prosecuted but certainly not as often as men who do the same things.

I don't disagree at all - but I also take it one step further...... To the best of my knowledge, that show was not live, it was recorded. Who at BBC Radio 2 thought it was acceptable to air it?

Yes, Brand and Ross were completely gross and out of order - but someone else allowed it to be aired.

Hopefully will be shingles not singles for her.. vile woman.

I agree about different standards and could say the same about gay men when they have acted inappropriately or worse.

As for Katy Perry, marrying Russell Brand after the treatment to Andrew Sachs was enough for me to lose any respect for her. Even though Katy Perry was unaware Russell Brand was a rapist.

So you thought you would make up one of your own?

Someone has already started a thread on him and it was hidden by MN

even Jonathan Ross?! Do you remember the phone calls Ross and Brand made to Andrew Sachs? Ross was the instigator. Time he got his comeuppance,

You can’t rub your vagina in someone’s face, I assume you mean Vulva?

I couldn’t understand why Katie got with brand, I felt he was seriously punching , but I think she’s a real dodgy taste in blokes, Orlando bloom kayaking naked whilst she was in a swimsuit, Justin rubbing sun tan lotion on her boobs under his swimsuit, it’s all a bit weird.

Why is it right that she receives criticism for space tourism? The overwhelming majority of space tourists have been male and I have never heard one of them being criticised at a personal level.

I know nothing about any accusations of improper conduct by her for.other reasons, so not commenting on those.
