KATY PERRY 'BLACKFACE' SHOE TO BE PULLED FROM SHELVES
TMZ ^

Posted on 02/11/2019 10:59:21 AM PST by TigerClaws

Katy Perry's shoe that is under scrutiny for resembling blackface is about to be yanked ... TMZ has learned.

Katy's got a whole shoe line for sale at retailers like Dillard's and Walmart -- and a couple of her designs feature what looks similar to blackface ... the "Rue Face Slip On Loafers" and its high-heeled counterpart, "Ora Face Block Heel Sandal."

The "face" shoes have two eyes, a nose and red lips on them, and they come in two different colors ... black and beige. The black one is problematic, because it looks a lot like classic blackface makeup, which the fashion world does not seem to recognize time and again.

The "face" heeled sandals are also problematic ... and Katy's catching major heat for having the shoes on store shelves. Even singer Masika Kalysha is calling for Katy to answer for this, saying on social media ... "So we just gonna let Katy Perry slide?"

Sources connected to Katy tell us these specific shoes are just part of an entire line of shoes she's designed and released ... and they were never intended to be offensive. However, we're told, "In order to be respectful and sensitive the team is in the process of pulling the shoes."

Careful. I hear RBG deals from the bottom of the deck.

Identity Politics rooted in Cultural Marxism is a suicide cult that will destroy everything in its path. Fame, fortune, life—all will be sacrificed to the pagan god.

Yes, a name change is coming.
Due to the ignominy and repugnance
increasingly associated with the name
Washington Redskins, they are changing
the team name to the Landover Redskins.

Katy Perry has another sandal this season, somewhat more subtle with red gingham and watermelon. Hmmmmmmm?

I forgot about that album. Had a housemate the would play it all the time.

Must have been reliving his time in Catholic schools.

Exactly. Let this Satanic Obama worshipper (sorry for the redundancy) suffer the consequences of her ideology.
