Katy Perry Breaks Silence on Split From Orlando Bloom: ‘Get a Life Y’all!’
Katy Perry is taking her breakup from Orlando Bloom in stride, and is shadily encouraging fans to follow suit.
Last night (March 2), Perry publicly acknowledged to her many millions of Twitter followers that she and Bloom did, indeed, split, and chided anyone who fixated on the separation. People first reported on February 28 that Bloom and Perry had split after arriving at the Vanity Fair Oscars party together but proceeding to spend most of the night apart.
"HOW BOUT A NEW WAY OF THINKING FOR 2017?! U can still b friends & love ur former partners! No one's a victim or a villain, get a life y'all!" Perry wrote to amusement from fans. "SHADY PERRY IS BACK," one wrote, while another noted "THIS TWEET IS SO 2009 I LOVE IT."
People has also reported the split was a matter of disagreement over commitment, and that Bloom wasn't prepared to engage in something lasting.
"Orlando didn’t want things to get more serious," a source said. "Lately he acted like he had one foot out the door and Katy picked up on that. He just isn’t ready to be tied down. He went along with their relationship for as long as it was fun."
Another source close to Perry noted "because it wasn’t something permanent, it just became time to take a break."
