Leah Messer Gets Real, Confesses to Suicidal Thoughts
Leah Messer would like to clear up a misconception.
She knows that many Teen Mom fans out there have judged her as a mother.
She knows that many are aghast over the custody battle she had to fight with ex Corey Simms over their twin girls, Ali and Aleeah.
She knows this is a sensitive topic.
But Messer recently spoke to Us Weekly and shed more light than ever before about what transpired in the past with Simms and her kids and where they stand now.
Ready to get caught up? Let"s do this…
1. Messer Sought Treatment in 2015
She checked into a rehab facility for depression and anxiety, as nearly all Teen Mom fans know by now. This came at a time when her daughters, Ali and Aleeah, were five years old.
2. The Custody Battle with Simms Turned Ugly
Just look at the cover above as evidence. “It was like a slap in the face,” Leah told Us Weekly, describing the moment she found out her ex-Simms received custody of their twins.
3. What Was Actually Determined?
On October 7, 2015 a judge ruled that Simms would care for the girls Monday-Friday, leaving Leah with only weekends to spend with them. So he never got FULL custody.
4. Said Messer at the Time:
“I feel like they should have both of us in their lives. At the end of the day, my kids are going to be happy, and I don’t care what I have to do to make them happy.”
5. Fast Forward to Today and Messer is Revisiting This History…
“It’s always been 50/50. People were like, ‘Leah lost custody’ … I almost did, but I never lost custody of my children,” she tells Us Weekly, perhaps doing a tiny bit of revisionist history.
6. How Are Things These Days?
We haven’t heard a lot about Messer and Simms in awhile, but this is what the former says of their agreement and their co-parenting: “The current custody situation, just honestly … whatever we think is best for them, we do. We are doing the week on and then a week off.”

Gisele Bundchen Admits to Boob Job, Suicidal Thoughts
Many people out there may think Gisele Bundchen is the perfect female specimen.
But in a new interview and a new memoir, the world famous model admits that her life has been anything but perfect.
Three years ago, for example, Bundchen tells People Magazine that she quietly underwent a procedure that she almost immediately regretted, going under the knife for a breast augmentation due to her uneven boobs.
They changed shape and placement due to 18 months of breastfeeding her son, Benjamin, and her daughter, Vivian.
“I was always praised for my body, and I felt like people had expectations from me that I couldn’t deliver,” the 38-year old tells the aforementioned publication, explaining in more detail:
“I felt very vulnerable, because I can work out, I can eat healthy, but I can’t change the fact that both of my kids enjoyed the left boob more than the right.
“All I wanted was for them to be even and for people to stop commenting on it.”
In her new book, Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life, the typically private superstar confesses that in 2015, she gave in to the above vulnerabilities and got a boob job.
“When I woke up, I was like, ‘What have I done?’ I felt like I was living in a body I didn’t recognize,” she writes. “For the first year I wore [baggy] clothes because I felt uncomfortable.”
Thankfully, Gisele received never-ending support from husband Tom Brady, she explains:
“He just said, ‘I love you no matter what’ and that I looked beautiful. This was definitely another lesson: What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. But I wish I would have learned that a different way.”
Elsewhere in the very personal interview, Gisele says that she experienced a panic attack 15 years ago, just as her career was taking off.
It took place during a turbulent plane ride, but it didn’t stop there.
The episode led her to develop a fear of tunnels, elevators and various enclosed spaces.
Bundchen then had more panic attacks, including in her own home… and eventually contemplated suicide because the anxiety was just so difficult to tolerate.
“I actually had the feeling of, ‘If I just jump off my balcony, this is going to end, and I never have to worry about this feeling of my world closing in,"” Bundchen tells People.
Gisele sought professional assistance and was prescribed Xanax, but says didn’t want to become reliant on the medication.
So she chose to change her eating and drinking habits and turned to yoga and meditation to combat stress.
“Things can be looking perfect on the outside, but you have no idea what’s really going on,” the supermodel tells this magazine, concluding:
“I felt like maybe it was time to share some of my vulnerabilities, and it made me realize, everything I’ve lived through, I would never change, because I think I am who I am because of those experiences.”

The Bachelorette Spoilers: How Will it End For Becca ... and Her Second Thoughts?!
After many months of hype, romantic dates, heartbreak, drama, scandal and Bachelorette spoilers, it has all come down to this.
The Bachelorette Season 14 finale airs this evening on ABC, drawing to a dramatic close in an epic three-hour installment as always.
What do The Bachelorette spoilers tell us about Becca Kufrin and her two remaining fellows, Blake Horstmann and Garrett Yrigoyen?
Well, despite a good amount of off-screen drama involving Garrett’s Instagram account, this has been a pretty conventional season.
After bidding farewell to Jason Tartrick and Colton Underwood’s micropenis, Becca is left with her two obvious frontrunners tonight.
On Monday’s season finale, Blake and Garrett travel to the Maldives to spent time with Becca and meet her family before she chooses.
From the onset, The Bachelorette spoilers have pointed to one outcome, so it’s no surprise that ABC’s synopsis teases “second thoughts.”
Especially given her history, wouldn’t it be ironic if Becca pulls an Arie and decides she made the wrong decision after the fact?
Well, before she meets Blake and Garrett for their final dates, Becca reunites with family and friends to discuss her journey.
Obviously, the goal is twofold: 1. Kill some time before we get down to the nitty gritty, and 2. Evaluate who would be a “better husband.”
“She can envision a future with both men, but time is running out,” the network synopsis of the season-ending episode teases.
Indeed, time is literally running out on this season. It’s over tonight. This right here is for all the marbles … roses … whatever.
Garrett is first to meet Becca’s family in the Maldives, and the once-divorced heart throb is “intent on proving himself to them.”
Becca’s Uncle Chuck, a major figure in her life since her dad’s death, plays a key role here in discussing Garrett’s first marriage.
Becca’s sister, meanwhile, warns Garrett not to break Becca’s heart, and he says there’s no issue there, as he’ll “care for her forever.”
As for Blake, he makes a great impression too, which only serves to leave Kufrin “shaken” when she thinks about having to end this.
No matter what, it’s going to be a brutal end of the line for someone, and Becca’s family notices Blake worried about this very thing.
Taking things down to the wire, Becca is “unsure” about her decision, though she and Garrett are “on the same page” on their last date.
Blake, meanwhile, goes all in on his last date, talking to Becca about being her soul mate, and presents her with a touching gift.
It is this gesture that causes Becca to wonder if she should go with her gut or whether she’ll ultimately have “second thoughts.”
Obviously, ABC has not revealed who Becca’s winner is, but it’s been semi-common knowledge to spoiler junkies for some time.
She picks Garrett over Blake and gets engaged. The only question that remains tonight is what happens in the aftermath.
Some supposed insiders have said that Kufrin has come to regret the fateful choice she made at her final rose ceremony.
Clearly, that would be gold for ABC, just as it was when Arie Luyendyk Jr. swapped out poor Becca for Lauren Burnham.
Well, sorry to disappoint you (or not), but while she may well have regrets … but there’s no sign of a switcheroo happening.
Becca and Garrett are still together and engaged, according to Reality Steve, who has heard nothing about a breakup.
Of course, this isn’t to say that Becca hasn’t had, or won’t have, doubts in the aftermath of the season when all’s said and done.
That’s a much more viable hypothetical, especially given that Garrett’s apology is surely going to be repeated ad nauseam now.
Becca’s comments this season have been straight out of the Bachelor damage control playbook, so she’s likely gearing up for it.
Will it be enough? Are his controversial Instagram “Likes” far from a big deal, or do they highlight a major difference in values?
It’ll be interesting to say the least. The scrutiny of Bachelor or Bachelorette winners is always intense post-After the Final Rose.
For the engaged Becca Kufrin and Garrett Yrigoyen, his past means they can expect even more hard questions than usual.
One has to imagine that at the very least, this will cause some strife. At worst, it will push them to the brink of a breakup.
The track record of success isn’t great under the best of circumstances, so they will have to beat some very tough odds.
Think they can do it?
Discuss below.

Michael Jackson: La Toya Jackson Hears His Final Thoughts on Hollywood Medium
The third season finale of Hollywood Medium aired, and Tyler Henry sat down with La Toya Jackson to speak of the tragic passing of late music legend Michael Jackson.
It has been nine years, and a number of lingering questions have weighed heavily on La Toya"s heart and soul.
As you"ll see in the video below, she"s sitting down with everyone"s favorite adorable Medium for a very serious conversation about Michael"s final thoughts.
Tyler Henry speaks of Michael Jackson, saying:
"He"s acknowledging that he should not have been left alone at a time when he was left alone."
The circumstances of Michael"s passing have been a source of speculation and uncertainty for nine years, now.
"And that"s coming in. And that"s what he"s putting a lot of emphasis on."
But it isn"t La Toya who is to blame.
"The person who should have been there to monitor wasn"t monitoring."
Henry says that the message communicated to him was that the person charged with looking after Michael had abandoned him.
"And it"s like "I trusted you to be there, I trusted the role that you were supposed to have to help me, and you left.""
La Toya asks: "Did something happen while he was abandoned?"
Tyler Henry answers, saying:
"It"s the interesting thing with this … because I feel like, when he was abandoned, that would have been an ideal time for him to try to reach 911, to try to call for help, to try to get help."
This is when he begins to describe Michael"s final thoughts.
"At this time, he realized that something was wrong while he was alive."
He clarifies:
"And that"s when he was conscious and realizing something"s wrong here."
But again, he laments — or rather, says that Michael laments — that there was no one there to help.
"But I just don"t feel like he had someone to, like, say "hey, I"m having a medical emergency.""
La Toya summarizes:
"Right, no one was there to save him, yeah, okay."
Tyler continues, this time lapsing into first person.
"And so after I realize that something is going wrong in here, there is this feeling of … oh, this medication kicks in."
But those medications, Tyler says, robbed Michael of his ability to seek help.
"I actually become affected by this medicine."
And then he describes a powerful feeling of panic.
"So it"s kind of like, a feeling of like, oh my god, what do I do, I don"t want to waste time, like clearly something is happening."
He says that it happened quickly.
"And this is happening very fast."
La Toya responds to her illuminating experience with Tyler, syaing:
"I think what hurts more than anything else is that, not only is there a need for someone to be there for him, but there was a trusted person … and that person wasn"t there."
Even though she"s mourned and processed Michael"s death, she"s still crushed. She will always grieve him.
"And just to hear that, really, it tears you apart."
Even to this day, she"s heartbroken over it.
"I wanted to just cry."
We hope that Tyler Henry"s reading was able to bring her closure.
Obviously, Hollywood Medium is sometimes controversial with certain groups.
Some believe that Tyler Henry is perpetrating a fraud and should not be speaking to these people, no matter how much closure and peace it may bring them.
Others believe that he is very real, but that his readings are the work of dark forces (the devil) and that mediums should not be "glorified" on television.
But no matter what you believe, it"s hard to see that he"s doing any harm. In fact, he seems to bring a lot of peace and closure to a lot of people.
Check out the video of his conversation with La Toya. She clearly feels validated by his words.

Catelynn Lowell Opens Up About Suicidal Thoughts In Shocking Interview
As expected, last night’s Teen Mom OG reunion show was loaded with drama, much of it having to do with ongoing questions about Ryan Edwards’ sobriety.
But while Ryan’s situation may have dominated the tabloid headlines in recent weeks, he’s certainly not the only member of the TMOG cast to grapple with personal demons this season.
Catelyn Lowell checked into rehab three times over the course of the past year.
Unlike Ryan, however, her primary battle was not with substances but with mental illness.
Lowell opened up about experiencing suicidal thoughts prior to seeking treatment in November, and during her interview with Dr. Drew that aired last night, she revealed that her situation has improved dramatically in recent months.
“If I don’t go somewhere else today, I’m going to off myself and life would be 10 times better,” Catelynn said, recalling her lowest point.
“I could picture myself driving into an electrical pole off the road, praying it would kill me. But I wouldn’t do it because I had my kid in the backseat.”
These days, Catelynn says, her life is not without its struggles, but changes in her diagnosis (Lowell suffers from PTSD) and her medications have left her feeling that she’s equipped to handle the ups and downs.
Lowell also says she’s quit pot for good after being advised that the use of recreational drugs might have exacerbated her condition in the past.
For his part, Tyler said he still smokes occasionally but was quick to add that he never gets high in his wife’s presence.
“I don’t smoke around her,” Tyler told Dr. Drew.
Lowell stated in several recent interviews that Tyler has been endlessly supportive throughout her recent struggles.
The segment ended with more good news for the Baltierra clan, as Tyler’s troubled father, Butch Baltierra, joined the proceedings via Skype and informed the audience that he’s been sober ever since completing rehab back in November.
It was a bittersweet interview, with Lowell addressing the subject of her miscarriage and fighting tears while discussing the “emotional year” that threatened to tear her family apart.
But Catelynn and Tyler survived, in part thanks to their love for one another.
Yes, Ryan’s recent bad behavior may make for more scandalous television, but thankfully TMOG viewers seem more interested in celebrating the casts’ successes than in gawking at their misfortunes.

Catelynn Lowell Reveals Suicidal Thoughts in Heartbreaking Teen Mom OG Clip
Let"s just get this out of the way before we get started: what we have here is a Teen Mom OG sneak peek in which we see Catelynn Lowell heading off to rehab.
You can probably figure out what that means — it"s really, really hard to watch.
If you"ve been keeping up with the show, you know that in the past couple of episodes, Catelynn and Tyler have been talking about a pregnancy.
She had her positive pregnancy test, she made a "big sister" shirt for Nova, they told their families.
Unfortunately, she had a miscarriage. It"s very common, but that obviously doesn"t make it any less heartbreaking for many people.
And as we"re seeing in this clip, Catelynn had an especially hard time with it.
The video begins with Cate and Tyler in the car, with him driving as she calls his mother, Kim.
"Hi, Mom," she begins — she"s been with Tyler since they were in middle school, so Kim really is like a second mother to her.
Kim asks her what she"s doing, and she tells her that she"s headed to the airport.
And here"s where it gets tough …
When she asks her why she"s going to the airport, Cate says that she"s going to treatment, and she"s clearly fighting tears at this point.
"What made this decision, honey?" Kim asks.
"Because I contemplated every single way I could kill myself today," Catelynn answers, finally breaking down.
As she cries, Kim tells her what a good mother and wife she is, and that she"ll be praying for her while she"s gone — Cate told her she"d be away for around 30 days, though we know she stayed closer to six weeks.
While that conversation is happening, Tyler stays silent, but he"s near tears himself.
It"s all just very, very sad.
Piecing everything together, it"s clear now that the miscarriage set Catelynn"s depression off, and also that it brought several other issues to the surface as well.
She went to rehab in November, shortly after it happened, and she stayed until late December, then went back for another six weeks in January to sort through some childhood trauma.
She"s still there now, but she"s expected to return home soon.
Hopefully she"s feeling a whole, whole lot better now than she did in this clip. It"s hard to imagine it would be possible for her to feel any worse.

Catelynn Lowell Reveals Suicidal Thoughts, Checks Into Rehab
Many fans of Teen Mom: OG may have been shocked by the tweet Catelynn Lowell posted moments ago.
But ultimately, they rallied around the beloved reality star, offering crucial support as she faces the struggle of a lifetime:
Last year, Catelynn checked into a rehab facility to be treated for depression and anxiety.
Today, she revealed that she’ll be seeking further treatment following a recurrence of symptoms:
“Well today I thought of every way to kill myself.. so I’m going to treatment #makeChesterProud @TalindaB #KeepTalkingMH #thiswontlast,” Catelynn tweeted Friday afternoon.
Catelynn tagged the wife of late Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington in her tweet.
Bennington took his own life in July at the age of 41.
Catelynn did not reveal how long she’s been struggling this time around, but she seems hopeful about her future.
She posted the above photo of her daughter’s toy on Instagram, along with the following caption:
“Well Nova buddy is coming with me… and I’m gonna hold it close to my heart the whole time… #thiswontlast #thiswontstopme”
Again, fans responded with an outpouring of support.
“Oh Catelynn. You are a strong, amazing woman. I’m so glad you’re getting help with this. That makes you even stronger to admit that you need it. I know you will get through this. Sending so much love and support your way.” commented one fan.
“Just being open about it proves to me that you are incredibly strong! You can overcome this! I wish you all the best.”
Other stars of the Teen Mom franchise have publicly offered messages of love and encouragement to Lowell, as well:
“Thinking of her,” Javi Marroquin tweeted, linking to an article about Catelynn’s struggle.
“Incredibly proud of my wife…when she thought she had no choices left, she reached out & decided to LIVE today!” tweeted Catelynn’s husband, Tyler Baltierra.
“My life would be desolate without her in it. You are beautiful, strong, worthy, & loved,” he added.
We’d like to add our voice to the chorus of well-wishes for Catelynn.
By being open about her struggle, she’s turning a potentially deadly negative into a positive that may well prove life-saving.
Our thoughts go out to Catelynn and her loved ones during this difficult time.
Watch Teen Mom: OG online to relive the many struggles that have helped form Catelynn into the woman she is today.

Life of Kylie Premiere Recap: Inner Struggles, Deep Thoughts and Bathroom Selfies
Kylie Jenner’s new reality show Life of Kylie debuted Sunday, with the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star striking out on her own.
We’ve got all the highlights from it right here in case you missed the landmark TV event that was Life of Kylie Season 1 Episode 1 …
Those tuning in to watch Life of Kylie online can expect a lot of introspection and Jenner waxing philosophical about life in the limelight.
Jenner’s social media fame and celebrity are unmatched, but whether this formula for a show can sustain fan interest is another story.
In essence, Life of Kylie explores the behind-the-scenes … well, life of Kylie Jenner that you don’t see online, such as our girl’s friendships.
Chief among those friendships is with Jordyn Woods.
The premiere showed us exactly how Kylie and Jordyn made California high school student Albert Ochoa’s celebrity dream date come true.
Ochoa’s prom featured quite the pair of celebrity guests, which is a really cool thing about fame. But being famous has a downside, too.
Kylie scoffs at those who say she leads a charmed life.
“[I] laugh. In their face. Nobody has a perfect life,” she said. “The only different thing about me is probably just that I have nice things.”
“But what you realize when you get there – when I know I could buy any car, any house – is that that happiness lasts two seconds.”
“That’s not real happiness [or] where I find happiness.”
“I’m so blessed that I got to experience this at such a young age and learn that, so now I can find what really is going to make me happy.”
Of the fact that she has a public persona on display at all times, she says, “There’s an image that I feel constantly pressured to keep up with.”
“In order to stay relevant for the public, I have to be on Instagram and I have to be on Snapchat just keeping people entertained.”
“And then there’s who I really am around my friends.”
“That’s who I want you guys to get to know. It’s way easier for me to post on Snapchat or Instagram than it is to be out in public.”
So she’s … kind of an introvert then!?
“I just feel like for so long I’ve been putting on this different persona to the world … I felt like I started to depend on social media.”
“Feeling the need to post all the time. I feel like I have to keep up this idea of who I am. I think I lost a lot of parts of myself.”
“My funny side … when I was 14 I used to post all these funny videos all the time, just me being like, super weird and funny and myself.”
“I feel like once I started getting a little bit bigger, then people really started to … everyone says mean things sometimes, it’s just how social media is.”
“It’s a really mean, negative space. Every single day I see something negative about me. When that started happening, that really affected me.”
“So I was like: ‘I’m not going to show people that side of me anymore.’ I’m kind of putting up a version of myself to the world that isn’t fully me.”
In that sense, Kylie Jenner – the most popular young woman on the ENTIRE Internet, you could argue – feels like something of an outcast.
“I have a soft spot for the outcasts because I guess I was the outcast in a lot of ways, growing up. I still feel like an outcast,” she says.
“I can’t relate to a lot of people. I had to get home-schooled, not because I wanted to but because I missed so much when I was working.”
“It’s hard to feel normal. I started filming when I was 9 years old. I really don’t know what it’s like to not have everyone know who I am.”
“I don’t know what it’s like to live a normal life, where people don’t know who you are, to get out of the car and not have everyone stare.”
“I feel like when you grow up on camera, people think that they know you because you’re on social media so much and you’re on reality TV.”
“I for sure didn’t choose this life, but I’m not going to say that I’m totally innocent, because I am keeping up this lifestyle.”
“I know I’m making myself more famous by having an Instagram and posting photos, but I’m not that type of person where I want all the attention.”
“I don’t like that. It actually freaks me out, because it reminds me that I’m ‘Kylie f–king Jenner.’ A lot of people have it worse than me.”
“It’s just a lot to handle. Sometimes, I’m like: ‘This is it. I’m insane.’ I feel like this fame thing is going to come to an end sooner than we think.”
“I’m getting the bug again, where I just want to run away. I just don’t know who I’m doing it for. The new goal in my life is to just live.”
In conclusion, the increasingly relatable 19-year-old says:
“I live the most extraordinary life, and I’m very grateful. But the moments I feel completely normal and just a 19-year-old girl, it’s the best.”
Of course, that doesn’t mean she’s going reclusive yet.
Kylie is as known for her selfies as anything, and for good reason, though she adds that it’s harder than you might think to perfect the art.
“Posting a selfie is really hard because it’s a lot of pressure. It has to be perfect. I check the comments right when I post.”
“If they’re like: ‘What the f–k is this Kylie?’ then I delete that s–t super fast and reevaluate my decision!” Kylie reveals.
It’s a hard life, but someone’s gotta head it ….

Jenelle Evans Reveals Shocking Suicidal Thoughts: Is She OK?!
Jenelle Evans isn’t exactly known for being a stable individual.
She’s actually mostly known for getting pregnant, smoking weed with Kieffer, and heroin.
Oh, and for assaulting people. And getting arrested. And trying to get out of going to jail so she can go to a Kesha concert, because dude, that’s why she got all those feathers in her hair.
What we’re getting at with all this is that Jenelle has been a hot mess from day one.
And sure, she kicked heroin and it’s been a while since she’s been arrested, and those are sincerely some impressive accomplishments.
But as we’ve been seeing on this new season of Teen Mom 2, she still has some issues.
And, as she reveals in her new book, Read Between the Lines: From the Diary of a Teenage Mom, some of those issues are more serious than we’ve ever realized.
In multiple entries in the book, Jenelle reveals some seriously troubling thoughts she had as a child — suicidal thoughts.
In one entry from the summer of 2005, when she was only 13 years old, she wrote about how she got in trouble for hanging out with an 18-year-old guy.
“Now my mom doesn’t love me any more, she wishes I drop dead,” the entry reads. “That hurts me so much and now I have no one to love me.”
“I want to tell my mom that I’m sorry for being born because I know I was just another accident.”
13-year-old Jenelle added “She’s also canceling modeling cuz she thinks I’m too ugly for it … she tells me I’m a lil whore. She treats me like I’m not alive.”
“But then she won’t let me kill myself cuz she’ll go to jail or something.”
That’s shockingly disturbing, right? She was so young, but she really sounded very, very troubled.
And, as grown-up Jenelle explained alongside the old diary entry, a lot of the things she wrote back then weren’t even true.
“I know it reads like a kid just regurgitating what she heard,” she wrote, “but I know my mom didn’t say those things to me.”
“I must’ve been really upset, and made up a bunch of stuff to make myself feel better about being punished for something, at heart, I knew was my fault.”
So not only did little Jenelle write about killing herself, but she also wrote some fiction about how her mother called her a “lil whore” and how she told her she couldn’t kill herself because she’d go to jail?
Damn, Jenelle.
Then, in an entry dated in April of 2006, she mentioned suicide again, simply writing “I cannot believe I was about 2 kill myself and film it.”
For this remarkably upsetting entry, Jenelle explained that it was simply “Another cry for attention, I am certain of it.”
This time, her cry for attention worked — a friend told her boyfriend about what she’d written, and “it upset him and he decided enough was enough.”
“He was tired of investing time in a girl who thought trying to kill herself were just things to try out for the fun of it.”
The Jenelle of today also explained that while she did write about suicide from time to time, she never actually attempted it — though she did cut herself once.
“I tried cutting myself for the first and last time,” she wrote in another section of the book. “It wasn’t anything serious, just a few scratches on one arm.”
“I tried it out because I had heard other kids at school talk about how it relieved stress and helped me get over bad stuff that was happening around them.”
As if we didn’t know already, it seems like her book makes it crystal clear that Jenelle had a very troubled childhood — and it also makes it a little easier to understand how she turned out the way she did.
Again … damn, Jenelle.

Katy Perry Reveals Battle with Addiction, Suicidal Thoughts
Love her or hate her, there’s no denying that Katy Perry has been exceedingly open and honest in the months leading up to the release of her new album.
She’s gotten real about her feud with Taylor Swift, she’s spoken out about her political views, she’s opened up about her sexuality.
She’s also done some not so great things: who could forget those unfortunate remarks she made about Britney Spears, or the comment about Obama that some people believed to be racist?
The point is that, for better or for worse, Katy has been more than just a pretty pop star lately.
And in a shocking livestream she shared on YouTube, she really proved that.
See, Katy’s new album, Witness, was released yesterday, and to celebrate, she’s livestreaming all sorts of things this weekend.
She’s been dancing, doing yoga, hosting celebrity guests — it’s been surprisingly personal.
But nothing she’s done so far has been as personal as a therapy session with celebrity psychologist Dr. Siri Sam Nam Singh that she streamed last night.
In the session, Katy revealed that she often feels pulled between being “Katy Perry, pop star” and Katheryn Hudson, the “dork” she is in real life.
“I’m a bit more nerdy than everybody things I am,” she explained. “I’m a big goofball. The fantasy of Katheryn went into into Katy and made this bigger than life personality.”
“That’s the point of this whole thing, if people can see I’m just like them they they can dream just as big.”
The struggle of being both Katy and Katheryn is what inspired her to cut all her hair off — “I didn’t want to look like Katy Perry anymore,” she said.
She also shared that she’s struggled with alcoholism — at this point in the video, someone could be heard urging her to stop the session.
But instead of stopping, she just got even more intimate.
Katy said that she’s also contemplated suicide, adding that “I feel ashamed that I would have those thoughts, feel that low and that depressed.”
She said that she even wrote a song about it — “By the Grace of God” from her 2013 album, Prism.
“You can be right or you can be loved,” she said. “I just want to be loved.”
It was an extremely personal thing for her to share, and so it just makes sense that her fans have been losing their minds in support for her.
“I’ve gained so much respect for Katy Perry,” one person tweeted. “Her therapy session and allowing the world to witness her… my heart breaks seeing her sadness.”
A fan told her “Your therapy session touched my heart it was so deep! Know that your katycats love you for being Katheryn Hudson.”
Another wrote “I love you as Katherym Hudson. I love you as Katy Perry. I love you with long hair and I love you with short hair. Always.”
Beat this, Taylor.
