Travie McCoy, Katy Perry Split: Gym Class Heroes Singer Left Fuming Over Pop Star's Breakup Method

Following his candid admission that his 2009 breakup with ex-girlfriend Katy Perry prompted him to finally clean up his act and kick his drug habit, Travie McCoy has more Katy confessions to get off his chest. In the VH1 "Behind the Music" special that aired on Sunday (Oct. 14), the Gym Class Heroes frontman revealed that Katy crushed his heart when she chose a non-personal, 21st century method of breaking things off with the singer -- email!

Travie, 31, took a trip down memory lane, remembering happier times with Katy, 27. "We looked really cute together," he says. "We get along better than any other girl I've ever hung out with in my life. That was the beginning of a really really awesome time for me ... When I was around her I felt really at ease and comfortable with myself ... It was the most amazing thing ever."

But you know what they say, all good things must come to an end; and as Katy's career began to skyrocket, she had to leave her druggie boyfriend behind. "She wasn't stupid," McCoy says. "She knew when I was f--ked up I chose drugs over our relationship."

Travie admits he felt neglected and insecure as Katy enjoyed more and more success, revealing, "As things started taking off for her the more I started to doubt my role in her life. There were times I felt like a stepping ladder."

And then there was the unceremonious breakup email. "It started off with 'I love you so much I hate to do this,'" the singer recalls. "Someone that you are ready to spend the rest of your life with sends you a f--king email just s--ting on your whole parade. It destroyed me," he admits. McCoy had previously gifted Katy a promise ring with a vow that they would spend the rest of their lives together.

I have no clue why these beautiful girls lower themselves to be with , yeah , I guess I'll borrow the previous comments word " LOW-LIFE"s , what is wrong with you girls, you girls can pretty much have any guy on this planet , that will worship you , but you pick low-lifes. I mean for Katy Perry , has she ever looked in the mirror and seen how beautiful she is, how hot she is , and she picks losers . A Drug abuser ? I get it, she is trying to "save" someone who is beautiful inside , but ummm... news break..that dude is ugly on the outside , and being on drugs can only make him uglier on the inside. Save your own life and find someone worthy of you , we only live one very short life , don't just settle , find your equal .... you are still young, but this journey through life is very short , even shorter for others.
So for all you beautiful , hot girls , look beside you , is he really the one ??? Do you deserve better ?

A druggie is never a "step ladder" for anyone who has ever made it to the top. Let Perry have her success and he needs to go and have his. On another note, breaking up in an email is about the same as a handwritten "Dear John" letter. Most methods of breaking up are acceptable as long as they are private (letter, phone call, personal discussion). It's not the easiest thing in the world to confront someone and tell them you no longer want to be with them. A letter is a good way to avoid further confrontation, discussion, etc., and is often used when a decision is final. What would NOT be acceptable is using a social media site such as FB. That WOULD be a "low brow" way to end a relationship with someone. Just because you don't want to be in a relationship, doesn't mean you are entitled to be insensitive. People do have feelings.

Why would she stay with a drug user? Maybe it makes a person a little cold hearted to just turn their back, but addicts don't seem to understand that the things they do and say while using are sometimes horrendous. They are very selfish and only think about their next high...they steal and lie. Sometimes you have no choice but to turn your back cuz you can not allow for another person's addiction control your life. In her case she had to think of her career. Even when an addict gets clean they still are so very selfish and just expect for everyone to instantly forgive them for what they did when using and they want praise for getting clean.
