Katy Perry, Stop Using Your Fame As An Excuse

An honest critique of the Witness Worldwide therapy session.

From June 8 to June 12, Katy Perry live streamed her "life" on a series of YouTube videos called "Witness Worldwide" to promote her new album. The live stream included videos of the famous singer sitting down with fellow celebrities for interviews and other activities, as well as an hour-long therapy session. What was supposed to provide a deep insight to the "real Katy Perry and Katherine Hudson" just came off as a cheap publicity stunt.

The video that stood out to me the most was Perry's "therapy session" with Dr. Siri Sat Nam Singh. Dr. Siri Sat Nam Singh is an LA based therapist that has sat down with a plethora of artists in the music industry, including but not limited to YG, Wacka Flocka, Corey Taylor and Young M.A.

While many viewers of Witness Worldwide saw Perry's therapy session with Dr. Singh as "authentic," to me, I felt absolutely no pity for Perry. During her therapy session, Dr. Singh attempted to uncover the dichotomy that is Katy Perry and Katherine Hudson.

Perry stated in her therapy session that she wants to be her authentic self but she can't because of her conditioning and everything that she went through as a child.

Perry described her musical persona, Katy Perry as a "goddess that is larger than life." She's a person that elevates others, inspires the masses and is confident in who and what she does.

Katherine Hudson, on the other hand, is portrayed as a victim. She describes herself as an unevolved child that harbors a lot of hurt feelings because she wasn't able to express herself or her curiosity because of her Born Again Christian upbringing. Katherine Hudson was never allowed to truly be herself because of the restrictions that were put on Hudson as a child.

Both Katy Perry's and Katherine Hudson's lives are not hard. Katy Perry is an established singer and songwriter in the music industry that has had the opportunity to collaborate and work with some of the most prominent voices in the industry. She has graced a plethora of stages and received multiple awards. Hudson victimizing herself and frankly selling a "sob story" about her childhood does not forgive or make her any less responsible for her actions. Yes, she may "emotionally be a child" but she's clearly a 30-year-old woman that has the means and the capital to get the help that she so clearly needs.

I understand that living in the public eye, comes with pressures and expectations that someone like me, will never understand but complaining about being famous is not going to fix anything.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
