Katy Perry, Amy Schumer back out of gigs after Clinton defeat

Two of the most vocal celebrity Hillary Clinton supporters have opted not to perform at scheduled gigs following Tuesday’s shocking election results.

Katy Perry cancelled a concert in China set for that country’s biggest sales day of the year. Perry wrote in a statement, “Regretfully, I must cancel my appearance on the Alibaba Double 11 due to a family emergency. I am very sorry to disappoint my fans and look forward to seeing you in China soon.”

After the Trump victory, Perry posted a number of tweets imploring action:

Comedian and actress Amy Schumer, who stated that she would move out of the country if Trump won, rescheduled Saturday night’s tour stop set for Baltimore saying she was ill. “I’m so sorry Baltimore. I’ll see you soon! I am for reals sick. I would never miss the chance to go nuts down there,” Schumer wrote on Instagram.

A couple of days ago, Schumer posted a lengthy explanation about her leaving the country comment and her feelings about what transpired:

First of all the interview where I said I would move was in London and was said in jest. Not that anyone needs more than a headline to count something as official news. Anyone saying pack your bags is just as disgusting as anyone who voted for this racist homophobic openly disrespectful woman abuser. Like the rest of us I am grieving today. My heart is in a million pieces. My heart breaks for my niece and my friends who are pregnant bringing children into the world right now. Like everyone else I am horrified that people believed these bumper sticker slogans filled with hate he spewed. People who voted for him you are weak. You are not just misinformed. You didn’t even attempt information. You say lock her up and you know something about the word email but what was in the emails? You have no clue. Well I’ll tell you if you were able to read this far through the holes in your sheet. They said nothing incriminating. Nothing. She dedicated her entire life to public service and got our children Heath care and education without discrimination. he didn’t pay his workers. Started a fake college. Ripped people off. Never paid his taxes and sexually assaulted women and on and on She would have taken care of us. I personally would have had to pay higher taxes. All the celebrities backing her would have. People asked how much I was paid to stand with her. Nothing. None of us were paid a dollar. We would have had to pay a lot more because we are fortunate enough to make a high income. But we all wanted to do it to take care of the people in need. She was fighting to take care of you kicking and screaming babies. Yelling about emails you know nothing about and not liking her clothes or her hair she wanted to protect you even you. Well you’ve gotten what you asked for and now you can watch the sky open up. Literally. I am furious. I cry for her and for all the smart people I love who know what’s right and I cry for you people who fell for shiny hats and reality catch phrases. She would have protected you. Today we grieve tomorrow we begin again.

While neither Katy or Amy cited Clinton’s defeat as the reason for their decisions, a whole bunch of folks via social media weren’t buying it.

Do Katy Perry’s preacher parents approve of her career?

ByStarcasm Staff

Saucy pop singer Katy Perry (who’s documentary movie Part of Me 3D debuted at number 8 at the box office this weekend) has been very vocal about her strict Christian upbringing. She wasn’t allowed to read any books or listen to any music that wasn’t Christian, and couldn’t even use words her parents considered to be associated with the devil, like “Lucky Charms” (Lucifer) or “Dirt Devil.” Katy even told Vanity Fair last year that she didn’t feel like she’d had a childhood.

In fact, as a teen, she had to rock music in her bag to avoid being “strip searched” by her strict parents.
Katy’s parents Keith and Mary Perry Hudson, who have been traveling evangelist preachers for almost 40 years, are now using their high profile status as a pop star’s parents to ramp up their ministry. What’s their relationship with their daughter? Do they approve of her sexualized pop star career?
