EXCLUSIVE! Katy Perry: Knife picture was a misunderstanding

Singer speaks out about controversial photo

Wednesday, 5 November 2008

Katy Perry has hit back at claims she made fun of knife crime.

The singer caused outrage last month when a photo of her brandishing a 3in flick-knife was posted online.

Katy insists she wasn't endorsing blades as 'cool' - the picture was taken long before the recent spate of stabbings in London.

‘The photo is 3-4 years old,’ she tells Now Online.

‘I never tried to hide anything. I’m a pop girl, I play music and I want to make people happy.

'When I saw the picture it hurt me, I knew it was a big deal especially for you guys. I feel really bad. It was just a misunderstanding.’

Katy, 24, later replaced the controversial image with one showing her waving a spoon in the air.

The caption reads: ‘But I do condone eating ice cream with a very large spoon.’

She is to host the MTV Awards in Liverpool tomorrow night.
