Orlando Bloom Was Accused of Shading His Ex-Fiancée
Matthews appeared to make fun of Perry's space trip.
It's unclear if Matthews and Bloom are just friends, something more or just happened to run in to each other at a Halloween party, but social media users felt the British heartthrob, 45, was making fun of the "Roar" crooner.
"Shame on her and Orlando," one person wrote of Matthews, while another tweeted, "This is so weird. There’s petty and there’s this 😂😂."
"That’s so tacky and cruel… they have a child together," another pointed out of the exes.

On the other hand, some claimed the two were "just having fun," noting Matthews appears to have a boyfriend.
"The way this is a complete lie omg...the girl in the picture is actress Rachel Matthews and while she did dress up as Katy Perry for Halloween she COINCIDENTALLY met Orlando Bloom the same night and has no other connection to him," one fan declared in her defense. "This is her with her REAL boyfriend Will Erwin 😭."
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's Split
The exes co-parent their daughter, Daisy Dove, 5.
As OK! reported, the duo's breakup was revealed over the summer after nearly 10 years together.
"Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable," an insider spilled to a news outlet at the time. "It’s not contentious at the moment. Katy is of course upset but is relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life."
The stars got engaged in 2019 but never made it down the aisle.
In September, the Lord of the Rings alum insisted he and Perry were on good terms.
“I’m so grateful. We have the most beautiful daughter," he shared in an interview. "You know when you leave everything on the field like I did in this movie? I feel grateful for all of it."
"We’re great," Bloom continued. "We’re going to be great. Nothing but love."
