Katy Perry Acknowledges Viral AI Video Linking Her to JonBenét Ramsey Conspiracy

The singer humorously commented on an AI-generated video, reviving a debunked theory tying her to the unsolved 1996 murder of the child beauty queen.

Katy Perry responded to an AI-generated Instagram video showing JonBenét Ramsey morphing into her, commenting, 'wait am i,' on March 1, 2025.
The conspiracy theory, which originated in 2014, falsely claims that Ramsey's 1996 murder was staged and that Perry is the grown-up version of the child beauty queen.
AI-generated content has reignited interest in the theory, despite its implausibility due to significant age differences between Perry and Ramsey.
The unsolved murder of JonBenét Ramsey remains a focus of ongoing investigations, with recent efforts by the Boulder Police Department and her father, John Ramsey, to reexamine evidence.
The renewed attention highlights broader issues, including the ethics of blending real-life tragedies with viral entertainment and the role of AI in spreading misinformation.
