The Conspiracy Theory That Katy Perry Is Actually JonBent Ramsey

May 2024 · 1 minute read

Leading off the list of reasons why some people believe the highly unsubstantiated conspiracy theory that a tragically murdered young girl grew up to be one of the biggest pop singers of her generation is a vague resemblance between Perry and Ramsey's actual parents. Never mind that Perry was born in 1984, which would make her 12 at the time Ramsey died (per AllMusic). There's an explanation for that, or so the online conspiratologists claim, via Billboard. They say JonBenét could actually have been 12 in 1996, right? (Wrong.)

Also according to supporters of this fringe theory, there are lyrical references in Perry's music, as well as allusions to the cover-up in her music videos and even her tweets (per Billboard). Support for the truly unbelievable theory that JonBenét Ramsey and Katy Perry are the same person isn't just limited to some alleged similarities in the appearance of Perry and the Ramsey's either. Johnson says even Perry's parents look like JonBenét's parents.

"He shaved his head, she lost some weight ... That's about it," Youtuber Dave Johnson said, comparing photos of the two couples over time and claiming it could be the same people (via The Wrap). Additional evidence can supposedly be found in photos of Perry and Ramsey themselves.
