Katy Perry Slams Parents Support; Bethenny Frankel Ends Reality Show

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Katy Perry doesn’t take kindly to people speaking about her divorce – this includes her parents Keith and Mary Hudson.

Russell Brand filed for divorce from Katy Perry on December 30th and speculation over their demise are running rampant. Whatever the cause was Katy’s parents were happy it was bringing new parishioners. During a service Mary told her churchgoers,

“I’m sure Katy is trending on the internet just to get you to church tonight. I mean all over the world, who knows how God is bringing them in? The most important thing is you are here and God wants to put the fire in you in 2012.”

We’re guessing Katy’s parents are not fond of Russell. Katy addressed the numerous rumors on her Twitter page. She began with thanking everyone for their support

“I am so grateful for all the love and support I’ve had from people around the world. You guys have made my heart happy again.”

Soon after that tweet Katy slammed those who thought they could speak for her:

“Concerning the gossip, I want to be clear that NO ONE speaks for me. Not a blog, magazine, “close sources” or my family.”

Bethenny Frankel Ends Reality TV Show

Bethenny Frankel is calling it quits with Bravo TV. The breakout star of the Real Housewives of New York has decided to end ‘Bethenny Ever After’ on a high night on focus on other ventures. A source tells US Weekly, Betheny “is going to concentrate on her many business ventures.”

The source added, “The door is open for other projects with Bravo. But as far as Bethenny Ever After goes, she feels that ending the show on a high note and ending it after this season would be best for her family. She doesn’t want her [20-month-old] daughter [Bryn] to grow up on TV.”

Perhaps Bethenny is making room for Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Zolciak who landed her own spinoff show. Congrats to Frankel for calling it quits before it ruined her marriage!

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
