This week’s all-female Blue Origin space mission might have gotten back to earth, but the drama surrounding it continues.
The goal appeared to be more linked to female empowerment, but viewers were left far from impressed with the idea of sending so many on a short space joy ride that cost billions.
One superstar that has been targeted nonstop is singer Katy Perry, who keeps facing backlash for her journey from fans to trolls, not to mention Wendy’s who requested that Perry be sent back into space.
Despite her harmless intentions, the optics of this mission were described as tone deaf and embarrassing.
Many failed to see the mission’s true purpose, while others shared that the same amount of money could have been used elsewhere for a better cause. While Perry does say that it was a life-changing experience, she does regret the entire public spectacle that was made out of it.
Some of her antics were called overly dramatic, including raising a daisy in the air and also kissing the ground when coming out of the capsule. The insider says that Perry wishes that she were not as public about her emotions, as that’s what has paved the way for a lot of backlash.
