Wendy’s Under Fire for Controversial Tweet Targeting Katy Perry: “Can We Send Her Back?”
Wendy’s, the fast food giant, is facing intense backlash after publishing a tweet directed at pop star Katy Perry. The tweet, which has now gone viral, reads: “Can we send her back?” This statement referred to Perry’s appearance during Jeff Bezos’ space mission, and has sparked a whirlwind of criticism across social media platforms.
Many fans and social media users expressed outrage over the tweet, accusing the brand of being disrespectful and insensitive. Critics were quick to condemn the comment, which was seen as targeting Perry’s participation in the space venture. Wendy’s, known for its often cheeky and bold social media presence, had taken part in the playful banter on Twitter. However, this particular comment struck a nerve with many.
While Wendy’s has not yet issued an apology, the tweet continues to garner attention, with many calling for the company to delete the post to avoid further public outcry. Social media reactions range from those defending the brand’s humorous tone to those demanding accountability for the disrespectful comment.
This controversy has drawn more eyes to the brand, although not in the most favorable way. Whether or not Wendy’s will backtrack or double down on its message remains to be seen. However, it serves as a reminder that even companies known for their witty online interactions must tread carefully when engaging in social commentary
