Katy Perry Viral C*nt Photo Was Fake: Fan Admits to Doctoring Image

Even if you don't particularly care for the music of Katy Perry or the pop star's live show, don't worry, she's not going to call you bad names. Earlier this week, a photograph of the "Dark Horse" singer reportedly calling a hate a c*nt via a fan's cellphone spread across the Internet, but both the pop star herself and the creator of the meme have decried the picture as a total fake.

The image that has been making rounds across social media features a selfie that Perry took during a concert on her Prismatic World Tour. Using WhatsApp, a Katy Cat's ex-boyfriend reportedly said that the 30-year-old star cannot sing live at all, and Perry reportedly snapped back at the hater.

As the story picked up steam, getting coverage from The Mirror and Gigwise, Perry took to Twitter to deny ever having sent such a lewd message, saying that she would never use the c-word.

Shortly after Perry sent out her initial tweet, the fan who originally made the image admitted that he doctored it, expecting for it to be a joke for fans to share. The boy, @iwasdivine, said he never wanted for Perry to get negative press from the situation.

After he profusely apologized, Perry thanked him for coming up about the manipulated image.

All's well that ends well, and as it turns out, nobody is a real c*nt after all.
