Katy Perry Faces Online Backlash Over Backstage Birthday Cake Toss

Reaction hinges on whether destroying unsolicited cakes is acceptable for safety.

Overview

  • A viral clip from Perry’s Lifetimes Tour shows her attempting to throw a birthday cake at a staffer backstage, missing, and the cake landing on the floor.
  • Some dancers appeared to sample pieces from the fallen cake, drawing further scrutiny in comments on X and other platforms.
  • Critics accuse Perry of wasting food, while supporters argue the cake was hers to handle as she wished.
  • An X user claimed their mother baked the cake, but that assertion remains unverified in the reporting.
  • A circulating social‑media theory suggests celebrities sometimes discard fan-provided food to avoid potential poisoning, and no official statement from Perry or her team has been reported.
