Katy Perry, despite what most people think, is a smart and thoughtful woman. Instead of hopping on the Welcome Back Chris Brown Express, she’s allegedly letting friends know that she doesn’t approve of Rihanna dating Chris Brown. The lovely Rihanna and the lovely Ms. Perry became friends after sitting together at last year’s Grammy Awards. Look, let’s make something clear: Katy Perry is not victim blaming. She’s not telling Rihanna not to date Chris Brown; she’s recognizing that this is a choice her friend is making and she’s stepping aside. On the other manicured hand, however, there were reports that Rihanna didn’t want to be Katy’s friend because of who Katy is dating, Mr. John Douche-Of-The-Universe-Now-And-Forever Mayer. When asked about it, Rihanna told Rolling Stone,
Katy Perry can date anyone she wants. Besides, who the f-ck am I to say anything? I could never given relationship advice to anybody!
Oh my. Was Rihanna taking a dig at herself there?
All we know for sure is that Perry and Mayer sat nowhere near Rihanna and Brown and there was no interaction. We also know that Ms. Perry did not once compliment Chris Brown. And who would do that? Oh, right, someone like you.

I don’t think it’s victim blaming to tell a friend you can’t support their poor life choices.
I’m fairly sure they met much sooner than last year’s grammys. I think Ri was supposed to be Katy’s MOH at her wedding to Russell Brand in India, they had been BFF’s for a while. Ri couldn’t make it at the last minute due to ‘work conflicts’ – aka she hated Russell B and didn’t support K marrying him. I guess it’s come full circle now for them..
Yeppers. Balls right on this. Friends for years.
Katy Perry and Rihanna have been friends for years. On this blog a couple years back there were photos of them on a boat together. They have definitely been friends since long before last years Grammy awards.
I don’t think she’s victim blaming, either. When you have a friend in that situation you need to step back until they realise what sort of relationship they’re in. There’s no use in trying to convince them — they need to understand themselves.
I don’t see anywhere in this article where it says they aren’t friends anymore besides not sitting near each other? so what?
