Overview

  • Katy Perry commented 'wait am I' on an AI-generated Instagram video showing JonBenét Ramsey morphing into her, drawing renewed attention to the longstanding conspiracy theory.
  • The theory, which originated in 2014, falsely claims JonBenét's murder was staged and that she grew up to become Perry, despite clear age and factual discrepancies.
  • Public reactions to Perry's comment have been divided, with some finding it amusing and others criticizing it as disrespectful to JonBenét's memory and her family.
  • The JonBenét Ramsey case remains unsolved nearly 30 years later, with renewed investigative efforts and calls for advanced DNA testing following a 2024 Netflix documentary.
  • The resurfacing of this theory highlights broader concerns about the role of AI-generated content and media in perpetuating misinformation and sensationalism.
