It's amazing what a bunch of rich white women can get all indignant about.

That would be Ellen: A rich white woman.


So is Katy Perry

Couldn't agree more.

It is a line from her song Birthday, about getting naked to celebrate the other person's birthday. That she put it in a song doesn't make it okay for someone to use it to make unwelcome sexual comments to her (although I stand by my previous posts that we don't know this was unwelcome, context matters).


Uggggggggggh, the overthinking PC police are out in full force!

In this context she is equivalent to a man because of her sexual preference.


This is the defining factor. Is sexual harassment not a thing when it's heterosexual towards homosexual or vice versa?

I doubt they're friends at all.

I agree with the second poster who said it is tone deaf. I'm disappointed, because I looooove Ellen, but realize that it can happen. Hopefully she realizes that some people found it in poor taste and she apologizes, etc., if she hasn't already.

And how do you know this? It doesn't look like Katy Perry re-tweeted it or commented about it. Imagine if Steve Harvey were in the picture instead of Ellen. How would you feel about it then? There is zero difference. Ellen should have sent Katy Perry a private message if it's an inside joke they both think is so funny (which I highly doubt).
