After Katy Perry tweeted about a song called "I hate being sober," she received a series of very vulgar tweets from Chief Keef, the 17-year-old rapper at the origin of the song.
After he sexually humilitated her and threatening to brutalize her too, he put out a tweet stating his intention to write a nasty song about her.
To make this story even MORE screwed up, Katy Perry responded with an ... apology. Yes, because after a woman is demeaned and verbally threatened by a man, it's up to her to take responsibility for causing any trouble in the first place.
Did Katy Perry just say she is the "lover" of someone who just called her a bitch who should bow down to him sexually? Yup and more than 11,000 people just retweeted it too. Since when do 17 year-old boys feel totally comfortable telling grown women that they'll smack the sh*t out of them? More importantly, why would Katy Perry put up with it? The Huffington Post thinks it makes sense considering the rapper's violent past:
"With all those lovely messages Keef had for the singer, Perry realized she clearly didn't want to further antagonize a man who raps about threatening to murder a woman who refuses to perform oral sex on him, and was accused of hiring a hit on a fellow rapper. As such, it's not surprising that Perry quickly apologized for her comments about his song 'Hate Being Sober.'"

(7,932 posts)he already tried to higher someone to kill another rapper although they never could prove it. I'm pretty sure she just doesn't want a crazy person aiming at her. It has nothing to do with feminism or being subservient or anything, but more about protecting herself from being attacked or killed by a crazy person.

His words are backed by the very real possibility that he'd try to kill her.

(42,011 posts)I was think about her behavior in general, not the fear she must feel about this person.
I don't follow her closely, but it seems there is a lot of oddness, that has nothing to do with her claiming feminism or not. I hope she's ok.

(68,868 posts)I'm not defending her feminist cred, just to be clear.

(42,011 posts)I'm certainly not gong to judge her on the labels she claims or rejects. To be honest, I was thinking drug abuse, or that kind of celebrity pressure that seems to make them break down once in a while.
Nothing to do with the topic at hand.
I wish her well, and hope I'm wrong.

It's seems like everything -- the people, the media, the culture -- grows coarser, meaner, uglier all the time.
As a former flower children of the Sixties, we're only glad that we were able to experience something like the "light".

but this "Mean and Ugly" is something much newer.
