Back in April, fast food chain Wendy’s posted tweets joining the chorus of critics mocking Katy Perry’s 11-minute sub-orbital voyage aboard Blue Origin. Now, the pop singer’s longtime manager, Bradford Cobb, is celebrating news of Wendy’s closing hundreds of restaurants.
According to a CNN report published on Friday, November 7th, between 200 and 350 restaurants nationwide could be affected by interim CEO Ken Cook’s corporate “turnaround plan.”

Following Wendy’s announcement, Cobb reposted a KTLA graphic about the news on his Instagram Stories. Given his client’s beef with Wendy’s, his intention was pretty transparent.

Cobb’s post comes after the official Wendy’s account wrote, “Can we send her back?” in response to a Pop Crave post about Perry’s return from space.
In another post, the company joked, “I kissed the ground and i liked it” while captioning a photo of Perry kissing the ground after landing.
It’s worth noting that the corporate team at Wendy’s later issued an apology for the tweets in an attempt to get back in Perry’s good graces. “We always bring a little spice to our socials, but Wendy’s has a ton of respect for Katy Perry and her out-of-this-world-talent,” the company said.
Apparently, all was not forgiven. A few weeks after the flight, Perry blasted her “unhinged and unhealed” haters in an Instagram comment, and it appears she may have counted Wendy’s among them.
Perhaps Cobb’s post was also an attempt to draw attention to Perry’s latest single, “bandaid,” which arrived with little fanfare on Friday and has since tallied only 3.5 million Spotify streams.
