celeb news Katy debuts damage control: "WW is sarcastic", "it's not about the male gaze"

[Riverbank]

 

[Walk_Away21]

Oh her team is in PR crisis mode! She's down BAD.

[Burn]

Even if it was intended as sarcasm that doesn't mean it's still not trash.

 

[suburbannature]

"I wanted to still sell sex while doing purposeful pop so I pretended to be doing satire"

 

simplified it for her

[NoAngelus]

Is damage control in the room with us?

[Just a Gay on ATRL]

The girls are looking at Katy talking like "uh huh. Sure. So when does the e-deposit hit my account, lady?"

[Beyonceist]

If you're wearing a bedazzled bikini top pushing your **** together, it's about the male gaze.

I'm sorry Miss Perry but you are NOT big-tiddying your way out of this mess.

[ImpressMeMuch]

If only the song itself was satire too and changed after the crush….

[KatyPrismSpirit]

so i did a month of defending for something that was a joke.... 

 

[MAKSIM]

She talks about the anvil being a reset, but the whole second half of the video is the same concept as the first. 

[Jay L]

I understand what she was trying to do...but it did not work at all  she needs a new team asap because she keeps missing the mark

I don't think enabling a rapist is a joke.

[Bchip]

We can tell you don't take anything seriously, you didn't need to tell us

 

[Vespertine]

When she satirically switches from wearing an objectifying bikini to a more empowering bikini in the second half of the video, oh I felt that

 

Preach that feminine divine gospel, Ms. Hudson! 

[skankle]

If only she did all that while making the song good

 

[Erreur2 La Nature]

Y'all are doing way too much with this song.

 

It's not like she just recorded a video an hour ago and posted it to do some damage control because of the reception. This was during the video shoot that happened probably a few months ago.

 

Sure the song isn't very good and Luke is involved but that does not take away what she said eventhough the satire… doesn't really work.

 

What surprises me the most is that her team and label thought all of this could work. That's unbelievable. Of course the internet was going to destroy her.

The new:

[Dolce Vita]

[Blue Monday]

The amount of coping 

[longjohn9898]

She doesn't even know what satire is

Isn't satire supposed to be clever though?
