Katy Perry gave a tearful interview about why she needed to cut off all her hair
Redeem now - Katy Perry gave a sit-down interview on the Viceland series "The Therapist."
- She said she struggles with being her "authentic self."
- She chopped off her hair because she wanted to be "Katheryn Hudson" again.
- She also admitted to the world that she has contemplated suicide.
There's no doubt that Katy Perry's life has been a roller coaster ride this past year. But regardless of who she's dating, who she's feuding with, or what she's going through, nothing ever seems to slow her down.
The INSIDER Summary:
Just last week Perry released her highly anticipated new album "Witness" on Spotify, but ultimately surprised fans recently with a revelation even more intimate that many didn't see coming.
In a sit-down interview on the Viceland series "The Therapist," the singer opened up to Dr. Siri Singh about what people are calling her new "edgier" look, referring to her now blonde pixie cut. But Perry told the host that there were reasons beyond boredom for why she felt like she needed something new.
"I'm really strong as Katy Perry and then sometimes I'm not as strong as Katheryn Hudson," she said. "People like talk about my hair, right? They don't like it or they wish that it was longer. I so badly want to be Katheryn Hudson that I don't even want to look like Katy Perry anymore sometimes."
Perry tearfully added that cutting off her locks was a way to find relief while carrying around her public persona that she says is often hard to maintain. The singer said she has felt lost, and at times has kicked herself for having suicidal thoughts.
"I felt ashamed that I would even have those thoughts, that I'd feel that low or that depressed," she said.
During the session, Katy came to a conclusion with Singh that it is okay to be a real person with real emotions. Although she tells the therapist they aren't fully resolved, she's 100% committed to returning to her "authentic self."
"People can see at the end of the day that I'm just like them," she confessed.
