Perry’s inner struggle

KATY Perry opened up about having suicidal thoughts during a marathon weekend live streaming event.

“I feel ashamed that I would have those thoughts, feel that low, and that depressed,” she said, while speaking to Siri Singh from Viceland series The Therapist, on YouTube.

She was filmed doing yoga, hosting dinner parties, sleeping, applying makeup and singing.

Perry told Singh she struggled with her public persona, while trying to be true to herself.

In the past, she said, she had suicidal thoughts.

“I so badly want to be Katheryn Hudson (her birth name) that I don’t even want to look like Katy Perry anymore sometimes – and, like, that is a little bit of why I cut my hair, because I really want to be my authentic self,” Perry said.
