Katy Perry slams 'unhinged and unhealed' critics of Blue Origin spaceflight
Published in Entertainment News
Katy Perry took aim at the “unhinged and unhealed” critics of her Blue Origin spaceflight earlier this month.
The polarizing pop star, 40, seemed to respond to the flak for the flashy flight when she thanked fan accounts for their support of “The Lifetimes Tour.”
“I’m so grateful for you guys. … Please know I am ok, I have done a lot [of] work around knowing who I am, what is real and what is important to me,” Perry commented on an Instagram post Tuesday.
“When the ‘online’ world tries to make me a human Piñata, I take it with grace and send them love, cause I know so many people are hurting in so many ways and the internet is very much so a dumping ground for unhinged and unhealed,” said the “Teenage Dream” singer.
Perry shared the “game changer” her therapist shared with her years ago: “No one can make you believe something about yourself that you don’t already believe about yourself.”
When Perry finds herself believing anything the digital peanut gallery has to say about her, she considers it “an opportunity to investigate the feeling underneath.
“I’m not perfect, and I actually have omitted that word from my vocabulary, I’m on a human journey playing the game of life with an audience of many and sometimes I fall but… I get back up and go on and continue to play the game and somehow through my battered and bruised adventure I keep looking to the light and that light a new level UNLOCKS,” said Perry.
Perry’s fellow galactic passengers Gayle King and Lauren Sánchez — whose fiancé, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, founded Blue Origin — have also hit back at naysayers of the 11-minute jaunt to the edge of space on April 14.
The Blue Origin crew also included film producer Kerianne Flynn, former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, and bioastronautics research scientist Amanda Nguyen.
