Katy Perry is showing the world that she can take a joke and throw one back with her quick-witted response to satirical news site The Onion. The site posted a humorous headline about Perry, referencing the criticism she’s been facing, and Perry responded with a comment that left many in stitches.
The Onion’s post featured a photo of Perry with a headline that read: “Katy Perry Teases New Single ‘Stop Making Fun of Me.’” The caption included a made-up quote from Perry about working with Dr. Luke on a new single, as well as some sample lyrics. But Perry wasn’t having it and took to the comments section to fire back.
“This photo is clearly photoshopped I would never let my Botox go that long, do better The Onion!” Perry wrote, poking fun at her own use of Botox. The comment sparked a flurry of reactions from fans and followers, with many praising Perry for her sense of humor and confidence.
Perry has been facing backlash lately, particularly over her reunion with Dr. Luke to produce her latest album, 143. Dr. Luke has been accused of sexually assaulting and drugging Kesha in the past, which has led to widespread criticism of Perry’s decision to work with him. Additionally, Perry’s recent trip to space was met with mockery online, with many people creating memes and jokes about her announcement of her Lifetimes Tour setlist while floating in space.
Despite the criticism, Perry has taken it in stride, writing on Instagram that she tries to respond to online hate with “grace and love,” recognizing that many people are hurting and using the internet as a way to express their emotions. Perry’s response to The Onion’s satirical post is just another example of her ability to laugh at herself and not take things too seriously [1].
