Katy Perry steps out in public post 'gaslighting' accusations by fans

Katy Perry stepped out in Tribeca, New York after fans hit her with backlash over her controversial decision to collaborate with music producer Dr. Luke.

The 39-year-old songstress was not alone on the outing as she cradled her beloved teacup poodle Nugget on her trip to grab an iced coffee.

According to Daily Mail, she cut a casual figure on the outing in Celine jogging bottoms and a white vest that flashed a glimpse of her toned midriff.

While Katy attempted to go incognito in a baseball cap and sunglasses, fans rushed towards for an autograph.

Despite the backlash, the mother-of-one was glad to receive some love from fans.

Moreover, he went on to sue Kesha for defamation in 2014 however, a settlement was reached in June 2023 before it went to trial.

As per the publication, the fact that Katy's new album is centered on “female empowerment,” many fans were left “upset” and “disappointed” about Dr. Luke's involvement.
