As of only a few hours ago, model and actor Josh Kloss, who featured in the music video for Katy Perry’s ‘Teenage Dream’, has accused the pop singer of sexual harassment/assault.
Josh Kloss, who featured in a large majority of Katy Perry smash hit ‘Teenage Dream’ has taken to Instagram to create a post detailing a negative experience he had 9 years ago with the singer songwriter, claiming that the star sexual harassed him at a party, making him feel “pathetic and embarassed.”
The actor writes:
“And when I saw her, we hugged and she was still my crush. But as I turned to introduce my friend, she pulled my Adidas sweats and underwear out as far as she could to show a couple of her guy friends and the crowd around us, my penis. Can you imagine how pathetic and embarrassed I felt?”
The claim has arisen at the time of ‘Teenage Dream’s’ anniversary, to which Kloss wrote:
“I was actually gonna play the song and sing it on ukelele for the anniversary, but then as I was tuning I thought, fuck this, I’m not helping her bs image another second.”

Now while the creditability of the story is unconfirmed, this wouldn’t be the first time that Katy Perry has been in trouble for crossing the line with men.
First, there was the forced kiss she imposed upon an American Idol contestant during her time as a judge, and then there was the time she grabbed Shawn Mendes’ butt at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, when the singer was only 18 years of age.
Since the post has gone up, verified accounts who claim to be friends of Perry’s have gathered to tear down the claims as absolutely false.
Johnny Wujek, director and costume designer for the singer wrote:
“Oh hell no. I’m not about to let you make accusations against my friend like this. This is such bullshit. Katy would never do something like that. We all know about your ongoing obsession with her since the day of filming that video. You were writing her music. And planning an imaginary future with her. It’s not ok to do this to people who have done nothing but uplift and inspire others. Focus on your life and your daughter and move on josh. I’ll be praying for you. We all will.”
Katy Perry is yet to make a statement on the claims.
