Katy Perry faces backlash after throwing a cake
Perry, dressed up in her peculiar costume in the video shared by her on Instagram, blew out the candles while being surrounded by her crew and background dancers backstage. The singer, who has been a goodwill ambassador and activist, picked up the large sheet cake and tried to chuck the man with the headphones, but she missed the mark, and it ended up being destroyed on the floor. As Perry shared a hysterical laugh, the background dancers tried to taste it by picking it off the floor.
Netizens criticize her for the act
Many netizens criticized her for the act on social media, while some even tried to defend the meaning of the celebration. One user noted, “I don’t understand why some people do this, ruining a beautiful cake like it means nothing. In other parts of the world, there are kids who can’t even have a cake on their birthday? It’s such a waste and sign of disrespect to the baker who put so much effort to create the cake.”
Another user pondered, “I wonder what having that mindset is like, to just throw away a whole cake everyone could’ve enjoyed and then leaving that mess on the floor for someone else to clean up bevause I know well she ain’t pick up no broom and mop after.”
A third user questioned, “There’s starving children, and with food stamps going away in 4 days if the government doesn’t reopen she just wastes food like that?”
A fourth user stated, “i get that what a paying customer does to an already paid product is none of our business but there’s just something about a handmade food product that may as well be able to feed a group of people being thrown and wasted by a rich person just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.”
However, a fan defended the act, citing that this is how friends celebrate. “y’all keep making it more and more obvious that you have no friends and don’t go to parties bcz this is literally what happens at every birthday party”
