celeb news Katy Perry bans questions about panned reviews and Dr. Luke on Australia

Quote

Katy Perry is hoping her half-time show at the AFL Grand Final on Saturday will 'revive' her faltering pop career.

 

The US pop star, 39, has high hopes the gig will help promote her recently-released 143 album which has been met with divisive reviews.

 

However, her promotional tour is believed to have had its difficulties as Katy has reportedly banned Australian media outlets from asking her two specific questions.

 

Katy has insisted she won't take any questions about the 'woeful reviews' of her new album.

 

She has also reportedly banned interviewers from asking her about the highly-publicised Dr Luke controversy.

 

Katy caused a stir by continuing to work with the producer on her new album 143, after he was locked in a decade-long legal battle with singer Kesha, 37.

 

He sued Kesha in 2014 after she him of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, which he denied. The legal battle was ultimately settled.

 

Following the controversy, some of Katy's fans took issue with the fact that she worked with Dr Luke on her new music, which she has lauded for being about female empowerment.

It's kind of insane to ban questions about who you mainly collaborated with on the album you're promoting

[A-V-XYZ]

I thought Katy's stans said Katy was unbothered by all the hate and negativity? Hehe lol. 🤭

[YourFavoriteWeapon]

Quick someone ask her why she doesn't think the sexual, physical, mental, verbal, and financial abuse of women is a matter to be taken seriously and see what she says!

[Smarticle]

Unsexy, unconfident 

So dumb

[JO1s]

Not very sexy confident of her.

[PrettyHurts]

To work with Dr. Luke but refuse to address it directly....she deserves all the backlash

[dumbsparce]

I mean.. she has to somehow sell the tour. Constantly bringing light to how badly she ****** up by colabing with Luke won't do her any favors, especially if whatever apology comes out of her mouth won't be sincere. If you want to blame anyone for this, blame the radio/tv execs for being complicit to the cover up.

Shameless 

[gettsleazy]

The way she'll regret hiring Luke for lifetimes

[Album Leak]

She got kicked out of planet unbothered ig. 

[Gagaast]

not her expecting a show in Australia (i know it's sort of big,still) to revive a career that failed overnight a decade ago.she's desperate for hit and no moral values.

 

What will they ask you other than your new music? Did you sleep well in Orlando's arm and how was ur deep sleep%?

 

Release good music and let time do it for you Miss Katherine.

[Thin White Duke]

The jokes just write themselves here, I won't even try.

[TedMiracle]

Queen.

[Rama]

That's not very planet unbothered of her 

[Villas]

You can also say that ppl chose to not listen to her album either 

[ThehushSound]

I guess the catastrophic implosion of 143 has sent plant unbothered into a very bothered tailspin. 

[GAGAxMONSTER]

She needs to get more heavy lashings until she breaks and finally admits that like some person gossiped about, she was also abused by Dr Luke.

She was a victim all along, suffering from Stockholm Syndrome. Maybe* that will save her career.

[HASHTAGPOW]

[Lyrical.]

She ****** up big time with this era. Holy ****. If there was no Luke involvement, and the music was better, she very well could have made a successful comeback. I don't feel bad for her.

[Ethereaaal]

Planet Unbothered is not unbothering it seems 

[lillavend3r]

TOUCH GRASS

[réveuse]

I'm sorry, but this woman deserves the backlash she's getting.

[Vixen Eyes]

shes a misogynist in disguise, isnt she?

[Katamari]

how radically optimistic she is
