 <\/p>\n

There are some pretty strange conspiracy theories out there, but the notion that Katy Perry could actually be JonBen\u00e9t Ramsey has to be among the most bizarre.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you’re familiar with the case of JonBen\u00e9t, you’ll know that the six-year-old girl tragically lost her life around Christmas in 1996. She was found dead in the basement of her parents’ home in Boulder, Colorado, and an autopsy revealed the cause of death was strangulation.<\/p>\n

Almost 30 years on, JonBen\u00e9t’s\u00a0murder<\/a>\u00a0remained unsolved – but some internet users believe she\u00a0never actually died\u00a0<\/a>at all.<\/p>\n

Instead, they believe the little girl grew up to become none other than\u00a0Katy Perry<\/a>, the pop star famously from California.<\/p>\n

Where did the theory begin?<\/h2>\n

While Perry herself has only recently shared her thoughts on the\u00a0theory<\/a>, it’s something that’s been floating around for more than a decade.<\/p>\n

It seems like it all started in 2014, when a seven-minute video titled ‘JonBen\u00e9t Ramsey is singer Katy Perry’ went\u00a0viral<\/a>\u00a0with a string of claims which linked Perry to JonBen\u00e9t.<\/p>\n

The original video has since been deleted, but it claimed that Perry’s parents were actually John and Patsy Ramsey – the parents of JonBen\u00e9t. It further claimed that her death was actually part of a plan to allow her to become famous.<\/p>\n

More recently, an\u00a0AI<\/a>-generated video showing\u00a0JonBen\u00e9t morphing into Perry<\/a>\u00a0aimed to highlight the physical similarities between the pair.<\/p>\n

‘Links’ between Perry and JonBen\u00e9t<\/h2>\n

To back the claim, internet users have pointed to similarities in Perry and JonBen\u00e9t’s bone structures, particularly in their eyebrows, jaws, and noses.<\/p>\n

Another piece of ‘evidence’ in the theory stems from a 2011 interview Perry conducted with Vanity Fair, in which she reportedly made reference to JonBen\u00e9t, who was a child beauty queen prior to her death.<\/p>\n

Perry is quoted as saying: “Not that I was one of those stage kids. There was no JonBen\u00e9t Ramsey inside of me waiting to burst out.”<\/p>\n

Some theorists have speculated this comment was actually a hint at Perry’s real identity – despite her saying she was effectively the opposite of JonBen\u00e9t.<\/p>\n

What have people said about the theory?<\/h2>\n

Despite the fact that police in Boulder have spoken extensively about JonBen\u00e9t’s death, the theory took the internet by storm and appeared to convince a lot of users.<\/p>\n

Writing on\u00a0Twitter<\/a>\u00a0in 2022, one person wrote: “Before we end 2022 I just wanna say that JonBenet Ramsey is actually Katy Perry\u2026”<\/p>\n

Another Twitter user claimed to share a whole thread on the theory, writing: “Why we know that Katy Perry is JonBen\u00e9t Ramsey, a thread.”<\/p>\n

Perry herself also weighed in after she saw the AI-generated video, simply writing: “wait am i.”<\/p>\n

Problems with the theory<\/h2>\n

Again, beyond the fact that police have confirmed JonBen\u00e9t to be dead, there are a number of holes with the theory.<\/p>\n

The first is the fact that Perry was born in 1984 – making her five years older than JonBen\u00e9t, who was born in August 1990.<\/p>\n

Perry was also, as I mentioned, born in California, in comparison to JonBen\u00e9t who was born in Atlanta, Georgia.<\/p>\n

Finally, Perry also has her own parents, Mary Christine (n\u00e9e Perry) and Maurice Keith Hudson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
