Katy Perry accused of misconduct
LOS ANGELES Actor-model Josh Kloss, who starred in Katy Perry’s Teenage Dream music video in 2010, has accused the singer of exposing him at a roller skating rink.
Writing on Instagram, Kloss described his interaction with Perry: “It was Johny Wujek’s birthday party at moonlight roller way. 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?”
Kloss also detailed his working history with Perry, recounting another experience on set for a music video during which Perry allegedly called kissing him “gross.”
“I just say this now because our culture is set on proving men of power are perverse,” Kloss wrote. “But females with power are just as disgusting.”
Kloss played Perry’s love interest in the hit song’s video. Their scenes together involve driving in a convertible and partying on a beach.
Representatives for Perry declined to comment.
But the man who plays Perry’s love interest in another music video, Thinking of You, has come to her defence.
Anderson Davis says Perry was nothing but professional when they worked together. “I’d be 100% happy to defend Katy,” he writes on Instagram.
“I read an article regarding the male model’s thoughts and what he had claimed Katy Perry had done to him. What I can tell you is my personal experience and it was nothing but positive. Katy was extremely inspiring, sweet, darling, professional on set and off the few times that we ran into each other ...
“We made a beautiful music video, I worked with some very talented but more importantly great people, and made some friends that I’ve enjoyed drinks and dinner with over the years.”
