In March 2018, Katy Perry was caught switching out her Versace Medusa-medallion ankle-strap sandals for comfy UGG slippers during her guest appearance on Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show. It was revealed that she used to believe that wearing a bra would crush her boobs!

Katy Perry’s Quirky Personality Shines Through Childhood Anecdotes
Playing a game called “Blast from the Past,” Perry had to figure out which of her six people on FaceTime were old friends.
After picking a total stranger first, she nailed it on the second shot, picking out her sixth-grade school friend “Erica” (actually Ahnika) from Santa Barbara Christian School.
Her childhood pal went on to tell a couple of fun stories from the past. Perry, who got suspended for three days for humping a tree, also gave her friends medical advice regarding their breasts.
“You had a sleepover once at our house,” said Ahnika. “You were telling my younger sister and me that we could not wear a bra to bed because if we did, it would crush our boobs and they would never grow.”

Perry also bragged she had to wear two bras because her “boobs were so big.” In sixth grade, she was suspended from school for “making sexual motions” toward a tree while pretending it was Tom Cruise.
“At the 2:00 p.m. recess, Katy and four other students were in an ‘off-limits’ area (behind the backboards) practicing a skit. Katy pretended that a tree was Tom Cruise and began making sexual motions (pelvic thrusts) to the tree,” her suspension letter stated.
