Katy Perry has sparked online speculation that she unfollowed her mother, Mary Hudson, after users on X noticed that the singer's Instagram account no longer appears to follow Hudson, @maryarises. The apparent change has drawn attention amid discussion of Hudson's tribute to conservative activist Charlie Kirk, with screenshots circulating online as evidence of the alleged unfollow.
However, there is no independent evidence establishing exactly when the alleged unfollow happened. That means it cannot be confirmed that Perry unfollowed Hudson because of, or immediately after, the tribute post.
