Every starlet in Tinseltown is strapped into a rocket, clawing for orbit. With only so many spots in this constellation, the climb is savage, the competition brutal, and jealousy is practically a dress code. Katy Perry’s latest mission was not a world tour but a galactic one—an all-female space odyssey with Gayle King and Lauren Sanchez, among others. It was supposed to be an unforgettable display of girl power at zero gravity. However, just as the countdown began, Emily Ratajkowski pulled the emergency brake, airing her disgust across the Internet. Just like that, the trip went from empowering to polarizing, with fans suiting up not for liftoff, but a meme war.

Gone Girl actress Emily Ratajkowski recently made her stance on Katy Perry’s Blue Origin space mission loud and clear. In a video shared on her TikTok, the model called out the space trip spearheaded by Amazon and SpaceX founder Jeff Bezos, saying, “you care about Mother Earth and it’s about Mother Earth, and you’re going up in a spaceship that is built and paid by a company that’s single-handedly destroying the planet.”
