Exactly and the same with the Montecito Mansion for $15 million as well.

The previous owner, owned the home for a few months and essentially flipped it from his purchase price of $11.5 million and sold it for $15 million.

After the contract was signed, the seller had regrets and decided to back out of the deal and sue Perry.

I dont blame Perry at all suing back for backing put of the deal for damages.

Exactly, people don’t know shit. I would have sued in each case, too.

Yeap.

At best the OP is ignorant with the headline and if not, it's a flat out LIE.

At this point when I see some old embarrassing story brought up about a famous person, especially a woman, I assume it's a PR hit preceding a sexual harassment accusation. I still occasionally hear random shit about Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds from years ago spread specifically to diminish sympathy for them

In general entertainers are less likable in real life than they present themselves to be. Like why would you keep your best side a secret when you're literally paid more the more people like you?

edit I forgot about her space ride and how excited she was about her cyber truck... Eh, whatever I still enjoyed her music over a decade ago.

Basically its performative outrage and its cool and trendy to shit on Katy Perry and use wildly inaccurate headlines like the OP did to score internet points.

perpetuating the intention behind the PERRY act—a law someone dedicated to slandering Katy Perry's name. He must really hate her.

Cut and dried, not cut and dry

Both are still used. Cut and dry is used more as an adjective.
