(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Katy Perry was blasted as an "uncompassionate carnivore" by a woman who spotted her eating a turkey drumstick.

The American singer is married to Russell Brand, who is a vegetarian.

His dietary choices have previously rubbed off on his spouse, who famously revealed she'd be munching on a "tofu-urky" last Christmas.

During a recent day out in Canada, Katy was seen eating a hunk of smoked meat by a passerby. The teenager commented she thought Katy was vegetarian, prompting her mother to remonstrate with the singer.

"What a hypocrite! You should be ashamed of yourself! You're a traitor and an uncompassionate carnivore! Wasn't your husband named Sexiest Vegetarian recently? Does he even know about this?" she is quoted as saying by National Enquirer.

Katy blushed, but tried to make light of the situation. "Well, I guess you could say I'm cheating on my husband," she laughed. (C) Cover Media
