Soon, laughter spread through the venue while guests joined the chorus louder than before. Several celebrities were spotted at the event, including Don Lemon, Gina Gershon, Kelly Bensimon, Steve Schirripa, and Patrick McEnroe.<\/p>\n Perry, who is preparing to release her first solo album, \u201cLet It Die Here,\u201d in over 25 years, spoke openly about painful parts of her childhood. During the conversation, Perry revealed she had been physically abused by her mother as a child. \u201cThere\u2019s something really powerful when you\u2019re getting hit, and you don\u2019t cry,\u201d she told the audience.<\/p>\n According to Page Six<\/a>, she also reflected on the emotional damage that followed her into adulthood. Despite those memories, the songstress still expressed love for her mother. \u201cI love my mom. It\u2019s very important to understand that. She had to become a survivor because her life was shit,\u201d Perry said. \u201cSo I could understand and sympathize and have empathy where it was coming from.\u201d<\/p>\n Along with the record, Perry is also releasing a titular documentary on May 19, 2026. It will touch on her difficult past and her 2022 breast cancer diagnosis and double mastectomy.
