Why is Katy Perry currently the internet's least favourite person? - Euronews

Singer Katy Perry is feeling the wrath of the net aft voting for erstwhile Republican Rick Caruso to beryllium the politician of Los Angeles.

Earlier this week, Perry, who antecedently backed Hilary Clinton successful 2016, tweeted retired a video successful enactment of termination rights and Roe v Wade. But conscionable a fewer hours later, she posted a photograph to Instagram showing her casting her ballot for Caruso with a thumbs-up.

“I americium voting for a myriad of reasons but successful peculiar due to the fact that Los Angeles is simply a blistery messiness atm,” she wrote.

Fans were unimpressed.

Why, you ask? 

After all, she’s shown that she’s a civic-minded idiosyncratic who has participated successful an important enactment of antiauthoritarian value… And dissimilar galore states, it is not amerciable to instrumentality photos wrong polling stations successful California.

Well, it’s due to the fact that Caruso, a billionaire and a devout Catholic, was formerly a Republican who switched his elector registration to Democrat successful January earlier announcing helium would beryllium moving for LA mayor. He is moving against Joe Biden-endorsed candidate, Congresswoman Karen Bass.

So far, truthful unimpressive... Except that the 63-year-old person doesn’t person the cleanest of records erstwhile it comes to reproductive rights. 

His views were exposed successful a 2007 interrogation successful LA Magazine, which reported that “he opposes termination successful astir cases but would enactment immoderate stem compartment research”. 

Since then, Caruso has donated astir $1 cardinal to Sen. Mitch McConnell and erstwhile President George W. Bush, who person backed anti-abortion policies.

Now, planned parenthood has called retired Caruso implicit donations to anti-abortion-rights candidates that were made arsenic precocious arsenic this year.

It has besides been reported that the University of Southern California’s Caruso Catholic Center - named aft the campaigner made a $9 cardinal donation - has publically opposed California’s Proposition 1 which aims to support termination rights successful the authorities pursuing the overturning of Roe v Wade.

The net backlash was swift, with galore questioning whether the ‘California Girls’ vocalist and American Idol justice was anti-choice, a hypocrite oregon conscionable plain dumb:

Perry is not the lone alleged "liberal" Hollywood personage to publically enactment Caruso.

Elon Musk, Scooter Braun and Gwyneth Paltrow person fawned implicit him.

Sigh.

Chris Pratt posted that helium was besides endorsing him due to the fact that he’s a “builder” who “knows however to get s**t done.”

Louder sigh.

Kim Kardashian has besides shared that she had antecedently met with Caruso and decided to backmost him due to the fact that helium tin “really assistance with the crime” and “homeless issue.”

Asthma-inducing sigh.

Or, arsenic 1 agleam Twitter idiosyncratic resumed things: 

Despite the sighing, the quality is hardly surprising. 

The voting prime of “liberal” elites who person a performative inclination to marketplace themselves arsenic “feminist” makes immoderate sense, arsenic incontinently affluent radical thin to ballot for different highly affluent radical who volition doubtlessly guarantee that people interests stay sclerosed.

It is, however, eyebrow-raising for celebrities, particularly those who leap connected immoderate level that'll person them to bemoan reproductive and LGBTQ+ rights being taken away, to endorse right-wing donors who clasp anti-abortion stances.

Maybe it’s champion to instrumentality with the classical ‘I Voted’ sticker adjacent clip alternatively of getting the camera out.
