$\"\"$ <\/a>Last week, Katy Perry<\/strong> and Russell Brand<\/strong>\u2018s split was the divorce heard all over Hollywood. Some outlets claimed that the reason Russell was the one to file the paperwork was because Katy\u2019s religious parents (they\u2019re Christian ministers) don\u2019t believe in divorce and she didn\u2019t want to be seen as the person at fault.<\/p>\n

Whether that\u2019s true or not, Katy\u2019s folks have been getting more publicity than usual lately. Her parents reportedly said that they were glad for the divorce because it caused more people to learn about their church and come to services there (at the end of that week\u2019s service they passed out samples of Katy\u2019s new perfume). And during a service this week, Katy\u2019s father, Keith Hudson [fun fact: in Katy\u2019s first attempt at stardom she was a Christian pop singer under her real name of Katy Hudson] said \u201cYou know how to make the Jew jealous? Have some money, honey. You go to L.A. and they own all the Rolex and diamond places. Walk down a part of L.A. where we live and it is so rich it smells,\u201d\u00a0he said. \u201cYou ever smell rich? They are all Jews, hallelujah. Amen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though Katy hasn\u2019t directly addressed what her father said<\/a>, she posted on Twitter<\/a> \u201cI want to be clear that NO ONE speaks for me. Not a blog, magazine, \u2018close sources\u2019 or my family.\u201d<\/p>\n

I understand how Katy feels: it sucks to have someone who is bigoted in your family, especially when you\u2019re a celebrity and the ridiculous things your relative says can\u2019t just stay at the Thanksgiving table. It also puts her in the terrible position of having to denounce her own father or be lumped in with him and accused of racism. There\u2019s virtually no way to win this one.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
