Katy Perry stung by snarky Wendy’s comment about her space flight: ‘Targeted hostility,’ source says

Katy Perry is hurt by Wendy’s “inappropriate” jibe about her trip to space with Lauren Sánchez and Gayle King, sources told Page Six.
The fast-food giant snarked “Can we send her back” in response to a post on X that read “Katy Perry has returned from space,” following the singer’s 11-minute mission with Blue Origin on Monday.
“We understand the internet loves a joke, but there’s a clear difference between humor and targeted hostility and this wasn’t harmless banter,” said a source familiar with Perry and the space team.
This was a billion dollar brand using its platform to publicly demean a woman …Wendy’s didn’t make a joke — they made a choice,” the source added, saying the company — which features a young girl as their logo — should apologize. “Their recent posts were not only disrespectful, but blatantly inappropriate.”
Perry, 40, went up in the rocket owned by Jeff Bezos’ company along with the billionaire’s fiancée, Sánchez, who is a close pal. CBS morning host King, former NASA engineer Aisha Bowe, civil rights activist, astronaut Amanda Nguyen and film producer Kerianne Flynn were also on the ride. The rocket took them just past the Kármán line — 62 miles above Earth, which is considered the threshold of space, where they experienced a few minutes of zero gravity. Perry, clutching a daisy in honor of her 4-year-old daughter Daisy Dove Bloom, sang Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World” while floating.
