Katy Perry slammed for 'pathetic' made up 'rift' with fan at concert

Katy Perry has been called out for a “pathetic” exchange with a fan during a concert.

Perry halted her show and picked a fight with a fan in the audience, telling him off for constantly messaging her partner Orlando Bloom.

"I know why you're here. Listen, if you keep DM-ing my man... you've been doing it for months, ever since the residency. You didn't come to see me play," she yelled.

She continued, "If you keep on DM-ing my man I'm going to have you removed — seriously, get your own life. He don't want you, Kyle. I'm his wife. I'm his, he's mine... stay the f--k away."

The fan looked surprised as he looked around at his friends in confusion.

However, the singer then sang her song 'I'm His, He's Mine, and it became understood that the outburst was a scripted way of interacvting with her fans.

Slamming the stunt, a source told Radar Online: "The whole exchange was quite pathetic really, having to make up some rift just get to some headlines.”

"She'll say it was for the show but there are clearly wider reasons why they wanted to include it. It ruined the momentum of the concert and was entirely pointless, and a bit cheesy too," they added.

Perry’s stunt came as she continues to suffer backlash and fall in popularity, especially after her Blue Origin trip to space.
