Katy Perry has been accused of exposing the genitals of the male model she worked with on her music video Teenage Dream.
Josh Kloss, who played her love interest in the 2010 music clip, alleged that the 34-year-old singer pulled down his trousers and exposed him to a group of people at a mutual friend’s birthday party.
He made the allegations about Katy on Instagram on Sunday, in what he said was the anniversary of him working on the music video.
Josh said: ‘This one time I brought a friend who was dying to meet her. It was [costume designer] Johnny 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.’
Metro.co.uk has contacted Katy’s reps for comment.
He described being completely humiliated by Katy’s alleged actions, writing: ‘Can you imagine how pathetic and embarrassed I felt?’
The alleged incident took place after the Teenage Dream music video was filmed, some time after Katy split with ex-husband Russell Brand in 2012.
Josh went on: ‘I just say this now because our culture is set on proving men of power are perverse. But females with power are just as disgusting.
‘So, happy anniversary to one of the most confusing, assaulting, and belittling jobs I’ve ever done. Yay. I was actually gonna play the song and sing it on ukele for the anniversary, but then as I was turning I thought, f**k this, I’m not helping her bs image another second.’
He said that when he first met Perry, she was ‘cool and kind’ and they sang a worship song together called Open The Eyes Of My Heart.
‘When other people were around she was cold as ice even called the act of kissing me “gross” to the entire set while filming,’ Kloss said, referring to their kissing scenes in Teenage Dream.
Kloss said he was going through problems with his family at the time, so he put up with it because he needed the money.
‘Now I was pretty embarrassed but kept giving my all, as my ex was busy cheating on me and my daughter was just a toddler, I knew I had to endure for her sake,’ he said.
‘After the first day of shooting, Katy invited me to a strip club in Santa Barbara. I declined and told her, “I have to go back to hotel and rest, because this job is all I have right now.”‘
When asked why he waited so long to come forward, Kloss said he was traumatised by Perry’s alleged actions and wanted to wait until it wouldn’t seem like he was only making the claims for financial gain.
‘To admit that someone violated you in such a f**ked up way, and you didn’t call the cops at that moment was hard to swallow, and it took a lot of time,’ he said.
‘There have been a million times I could have brought it up, but those times would have benefited me financially.’
The model went on: ‘At this time there is absolutely no benefit for me, but benefit for many others, who can contemplate power, would they do what she did to me, or would they stay respectful of me and my body.
‘So you believing me is inconsequential to me, it’s more about letting people believe that even a guy like me has felt powerless and been violated, and still courageous to bring it up when it counts, not when it’s lucrative.’
He added: ‘I am very lucky, I’m blessed. But I’m not her boy. I’m not her boy. She made that very clear. I’m her prostitute. And that’s the point of this.’
