A fast-food giant has stirred up a storm in 2025.

    The company has been in a public spat with a famous singer who went to space. The singer, Katy Perry, had a trip with Jeff Bezos' space tourism company, Blue Origin.

    Wendy's, the fast-food chain, initially made a joke about sending her back to space. This was just a few days after the trip. The company then released a statement claiming they have a lot of respect for the singer.

    The statement did not include an apology. This has led to many people questioning the company's intentions.

    The space trip made history. It was the first all-women crew to cross the Kármán line since the 1960s. The Kármán line is the boundary between Earth's atmosphere and outer space.

    Wendy's joined many others in criticizing the trip. The company posted a joke on social media. They said, "Can we send her back. " This was under a post about the singer's successful landing.

    The company also posted another joke. They said, "When we said women in STEM, this isn't what we meant. " This was in reference to the all-women crew.

    The singer's former friend, Kesha, even supported the joke. She posted a photo of herself sipping from a Wendy's cup.

    Other celebrities also criticized the trip. Among them were Emily Ratajkowski, Olivia Wilde, and Olivia Munn. They questioned the purpose of the trip.

    Gayle King, who was on the trip, expressed disappointment. She noted a double standard in the response to the all-female trip. She said that men who go to space are never referred to as taking a "ride. "

    This incident raises questions about respect and criticism in the public eye. It also highlights the importance of considering the impact of our words and actions.
