We handle so much communication via text these days that relationships have gotten a little cruel and impersonal. With a casual relationship, people have resorted to “ghosting” — simply disappearing and failing to send or respond to texts. With a more serious relationship, people generally say something — but is it ever appropriate to dump someone via text? Then again, who wants to plan a phone call or an in-person meeting specifically to get dumped? The good news is, we’re not alone in our suffering: even celebrities have been dumped via text. Here are nine of them – and you might be surprised to learn who’s the dumper and who’s the dump-ee:
9. Katy Perry
Pop star Katy Perry was MARRIED to Russell Brand for 14 months, but she still got dumped in a text message! In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, she dished, “Let’s just say I haven’t heard from him since he texted me saying he was divorcing me December 31, 2011.” Cold, Russell. Very cold. A few years later, when Katy performed at the Super Bowl halftime show, she still wasn’t over it; Russell wished her good luck on Twitter, which offended her. “She couldn’t believe he’d say that after everything he put her through,” a source told The Daily Mail. “This was the man who, quite literally, destroyed her heart. He slagged her off publicly around the world.”
