Katie Perry's message to Katy Perry

[johnnythefootymaniac]

this isn't the first time katy has been caught up in a name change lawsuit. her real name is katy hudson and she changed it because of the threat of a lawsuit from kate hudson.

[jammy780]

Cool boat

[batterydan]

Everybody needs to shut up

Katy Perry has already stated in her blog that she did not take those actions.

[AtlasObjectivist]

A total disgrace on Katy Perry's side.

Can't wait for her 15 minutes to expire.

[rozzzzzzzy]

Americans with their love of litigation should concentrate on suing each other for their coffee being too hot and leave the rest of the world alone.

[rozzzzzzzy]

American hypocrite. She stole the whole "I kissed a girl" song from Jill Sobule, originally done in 1995. She had to of authorized her lawyers to undertake that ridiculous course of action. Double standards. If anyone has the right to the name it is the Australian Katie because 1) It's her real name, 2) She started her business before this idiot started her "career". 3) They live in different countries 4) They are in completely different businesses

@rozzzzzzzy katy perry is original and awsome she didnt steal anything alot of songs have the same name and katy perry didnt try to sue katie perry katy's managers or watever did so get your facts right!

[tiddles69]

Stick to your guns - it is your birth name (and they are not even spelt the same anyway?). Some of these cases are out of control over names and rights... It's a crazy world we live in! Good luck with your fight and I hope this comes to Katy Perry's attention and she seems common-sense - unlike all the lawyers and pencil pushers!

[KarlPilkington]

good luck, she's no right to make you change your name

[buismlawina]

So many lawyers have no ethics, it's all about money no matter how they get it. Good luck to you katie (designer), it's your real name, and of which you registered well before anyone even knew the "katie perry" the singer who's name is not even katie perry. Don't let lawyers ruin ppl's lives!

[funkybarfly]

You want I should take the bitch out?

Despicable.Stick to your guns.The woman should have changed her name to Katy Mars Bar or something.Has this talentless warbler copy-righted a name that isn't even hers?She should have seen this eventuality before she(or some balding ponytailed record exec.)changed her birth name.What a troll.

[Aragajag]

That sucks, your name not hers. Different countries etc....

[dani43997]

I love Katy Perry the singer, but this is unfair, Katie Perry has every right to keep her name for her designs.

Good Luck!

[AmbaJanie]

good luck

you were a perry first..she wasnt even born with the name if she has a problem with it maybe she should change her own name

[emmalemmala]

You go girl. I'm a Perry from birth also. And don't give into her! We Perry's are fighters!!!!!!!!!

[nibblypig82]

Hi Katie,

What are you supposed to do, change your own name? Pfft.

There are over 400 Katy and over 500 Kate/Katie Perrys on Facebook.

[stp47003]

You go girl!

If Katy Perry has a decent outlook on life your vid should do the trick.

I for one am proud to also be a Perry by birth and right behind you.

[iantoau]

can you post the sunrise spot on television this morning? or is that upsetting another bunch of lawyers? the saddest thing is that you cannot do a search on google in australia without getting a "did you mean katy perry?".

this is insane. bloody americans. bloody americans with lawyers.

[kSpittel]

Children, children, children, this is about IP not "How you were Born." Katy Perry the singer has a Q rating way to high compared to the designer. If you don't know what IP or Q rating means, you have know clue how the real world works.

[patrickobrianlover]

Katie Perry Australian fashion designer - we love your clothes. I'm sorry this has happened to you. I hadn't realised there was a US pop singer who took your name - it must be very disconcerting!! Good luck not having your name appropriated by a pop singer. Apparently she was born Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson?? Surely since Katie Perry is your real name and always has been, (and we've been buying your clothes since you were in Paddington) she cannot legally steal it??

[mike23984]

the person who was born Katie Perry should have precedent, not the one who decided "i want that, its mine" [cue lawyers]

[SimonAndOn]

Intellectual Property laws are supposed to be there to protect people, but the continue to make things harder, protecting the Goliaths, and not the Davids. Good luck, Katie, I hope it all goes well.

[hothothotmale]

Opportunistic Yank!

The US induced GFC has forced Katy to look for other targets.

It might make a little sense if her real name was Katy Perry and NOT Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson. Maybe Katy could have Googled the name BEFORE changing it!

Would the real Katie Perry please stand up!

[karenwilson]

Katy Perry needs a reality check!

[palmyrazephyr]

nice
