LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - family circus and then Katy Perry.
Days after Russell Brand filed for divorce from singer, his father is the critical design of the Anti-Defamation League for a sermon, he presented the week last to a church in Ohio.
Keith Hudson, an evangelist pastor, widespread anti-Semitic epithets before hundreds of the faithful, according to various reports.
"You know how jealous Jew?" he said at the Church on the rise, a non-denominational Church in Westlake, Ohio. "Have little money, honey." You go to Los Angeles and have all the places of Rolex and diamond. Get off to a part of L.A. where we live and it is so rich that he feels. You are never rich? They are all Jews, Alleluia! Amen. ?
The remarks were "unquestionably anti-Semitic", Abraham h. Foxman, ADL national director and author of "Jewish & money: The Story of a stereotype," said Monday.
"We have seen above, which manifests in pop culture and political and religious areas", he said. "Anti-Semitism on the Church historically has been one of the most virulent forms of the disease." We have made much progress in this country in terms of anti-Semitism religiously based. That is why this event is so disturbing. It is still worse when it comes out on a religious platform - when an individual is supported up to a religious leader gives the old anti-Semitic stereotypes illusion of renewed credibility. ?
Foxman said probable Hudson remarks would be remained "within a congregation," was not the reputation of his daughter, Katy Perry (born Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson).
"Because it is the father of a pop Celebrity, the anti-Semitic remarks, he delivered are takes on a life of its own, both in the House of echo of the Internet and in the real world, he said.".
Foxman said that, while Perry is "unclean" at what her father said, "it is regrettable that his name is now home to the words of his father."
A spokesman for Perry told TheWrap that it had no comment.
On Saturday, Perry tweeted, "with respect to the gossip, I want to be clear that no one speaks for me." Not a blog, magazine, 'close sources' or my family. "But it is presumed that the tweet was in reference to the divorce, not the comments of his father.
