Katy Perry’s preacher parents publicly shame her

While Katy Perry is still dealing with her high-profile split from John Mayer, the singer has a new problem on her hands – her parents.

The 29-year-old’s controversial preacher parents, Keith and Mary Hudson have once again publicly shamed their superstar daughter, saying she is “off track” from going to heaven.

Currently on theirArisetour of America, the pair is heaping fresh shame on Katy, publicly denouncing her in front of huge crowds at their church services.

Keith, known for his strange outbursts and last year branding Katy a “devil child”, has asked churchgoers to pray for the one person who needs it the most – his daughter – saying he wished she would act more “like a Christian”.

He also admitted she was in a tough place right now following claims that John cheated on her with a fitness instructor.

“I let Katy do what she wanted to do, now listen she may not be where she’s supposed to be but it ain’t over yet. We didn’t force her to do anything,” he told a packed church.

“Now let me just say something, it isn’t over, and God is working behind the scenes. We’ve gone through tough times. We get together, we pray, we rise above it.”

During the service he expressed his confusion over Katy being brought up a Christian, but writing the pro-lesbian songI Kissed A Girl,before asking the congregation to help find his son David a wife, saying he looks just like Tom Cruise.

Apart from repeatedly shaming their daughter during their bizarre service, the evangelical speakers proclaim that we’re “only days away” from the “Last Call” and have urged church goers to build arks because we are about to experience a similar fate as the biblical character Noah.

“Tell the church that they must begin to prepare your ark for the saving of their household. You must listen to me,” he said.

“Begin to pray for your family like never before. Your family is number one in this Earth. More than anyone else, it’s your family.”

The pair’s 150-minute long service includes reading the fortune of churchgoers, asking people for $400 to fund “marriage guidance” weekends at the five-star Marriott hotel on Kauai Beach, Hawaii and dismisses depression saying you just need “15 minutes in your closet talking to God”.
