Apparently Katy Perry just isn’t as cool as she once was, or at least that’s what hair product brand ghd claims after dropping Katy Perry from her $4.5 million contract to promote the hair tools brand for two years.
But Perry’s people aren’t going down without a fight. They claim the “California Gurl” is owed an additional $2 million based on an oral agreement that would extend her contract.

According to reports by TMZ, the company behind “ghd” insists there was never an oral agreement and here is the stinger: They decided not to renew Perry’s deal because market research shows Europeans just aren’t that into her anymore.

But things just aren’t that simple.
TMZ reports:
Jemella says Perry’s agent has been threatening to sue for the $2 mil … so it struck first, asking the court to block team Perry from filing a lawsuit.
Katy’s rep tells TMZ, “Jemella’s attempt to embarrass Ms. Perry by including defamatory statements about her in a public filing is shameful.” The rep says they plan to sue over the money Katy’s owed if Jemella doesn’t pay up.
Katy tells us, “They’re backing out of the deal because of an ownership change, and just throwing shade to hide their bad faith.”
This is all turning out to be the opposite of a good hair day and shaping up to be a bad day in court. Such a shame considering Katy really did produce some seriously beautiful ads for the hair company! Take a stroll down ghd memory lane with the ad photos in the gallery above.
