Katy Perry’s career is seemingly at risk as her reputation takes a major hit after her heavily criticized Blue Origin spaceflight.
A PR expert has warned that the famous singer could suffer “career extinction” if she does not take a step back from the limelight.
This comes after it was reported that Katy Perry has started to “regret” going on the trip to space, as her behavior after landing back on Earth drew severe backlash and mockery online.
According to the Daily Mail, a PR expert has cautioned Perry about her career potentially facing “extinction.”
The famous singer joined Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin all-female crew, which included the billionaire’s fiancée Lauren Sanchez, CBS Mornings host Gayle King, rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, activist Amanda Nguyen, and film producer Kerianne Flynn, for an 11-minute trip to space.
The spaceflight, which was meant to highlight women’s achievements in science and exploration, has been hit with major backlash from fans and top celebrities, with many branding it a “pr stunt” and labeling the women “space tourists.”
Perry seems to have taken the most heat from the critics due to her actions after the crew returned from space and the remarks she made in interviews.
In a chat with the news outlet, PR expert Eric Schiffer has now claimed that the “I Kissed A Girl” singer’s reputation is “beyond” repair.
“Katy Perry’s reputation is vibe surfing the toilet drain faster than Blue Origin re-entered the atmosphere,” he stated. “Katy’s entering an area beyond career crisis into career extinction with a brand now synonymous with faux-feminist failure.”
Schiffer continued, “Katy went to space, but she still couldn’t find her lost fanbase. Even her backup dancers may be distancing themselves.”
Before the Blue Origin spaceflight, Perry was already dealing with a PR nightmare after collaborating with music producer Dr. Luke on her comeback album, “143.”
The controversy stemmed from the sexual assault allegations made by singer Kesha against Dr. Luke, which he has denied. They have also settled their legal dispute.
Perry and the music producer worked together on the song “Woman’s World,” and this caused the pop star to receive immense backlash from netizens and even loyal fans.
To make matters worse, the album failed to make an impact commercially and was also critically panned.
Speaking about her latest actions, the PR expert noted that the singer “went to space for perspective, but Katy may soon need a telescope to see her career from here.”

Netizens have been merciless in their mockery and criticisms of Perry and the rest of the women who went on the 11-minute space trip.
After the singer posted a clip of her trip while floating in microgravity on Instagram, fans unloaded on her for seemingly being “out of touch.”
One person wrote, “One small step for billionaires, one giant leap backwards for science and actual female astronauts.”
Another said, “Thank you for emitting more CO2 in this pointless trip than the average human will in their life. The rich keep ruining our planet whilst we have to pay the price.”
The mission has sparked concern among environmental advocates.
And despite claims that the Blue Origin rocket releases only water vapor [its fuel is hydrogen and oxygen], scientists have pointed out that the emissions still have ozone-depleting effects and contribute to climate change.

Perry has yet to comment on the criticisms she has faced since returning from her space mission. …
