The past two months have not been great for pop superstar Katy Perry. Just last week, a jury awarded a Christian rapper nearly $3 million after determining that Perry’s 2013 hit song “Dark Horse” infringed on the rapper’s copyright. Then, in the last few days alone, two people have accused the singer of s*xual misconduct.
The two accusations are actually the second and third made against Perry — and that’s only if you don’t count her grabbing the behind of Shawn Mendes at the iHeartRadio Music Awards back in 2017.
In March, former American Idol contestant Benjamin Glaze, 19, claimed that Perry kissed him without his consent during the taping of the show. Glaze, though, refused to press charges and the whole thing was mostly forgotten.
First Accusation
On August 14th, 34-year-old model Josh Kloss made a far more serious accusation. He and Perry met in 2010 during the filming of the video for “Teenage Dream.”
Kloss said the pair met socially a few times, and further claims that, during a party, Perry exposed his genitals to numerous people in attendance by forcibly pulling down his pants.
Unsurprisingly, many of Perry’s fans have spoken out against Kloss on social media, claiming that he’s just seeking fame.
Also, Anderson Davis, who co-starred on Perry’s song “Thinking of You,” called Kloss’s claim a “smear job.”
Second Accusation
And now a second person has come out to accuse Perry in the space of one week. In the latest accusation, Tina Kandelaki, a Georgian television host, says that she met Perry at an industry party. Kandelaki claims that, when she met Perry, the singer was quite intoxicated.
She accused Perry of trying to both kiss and touch her in a s*xual way. Kandelaki further claims that she witnessed Perry acting inappropriately with other people at the party as well.
“Once I was invited to a private party with Katy Perry, where she, being pretty tipsy, chose me as an object for the manifestation of her passion,” Kandelaki, 43, told Page Six. “I managed to fight back. Strength training was not in vain, and Katy instantly found a new victim for kisses, hugs and dirty dances.”
Katy Perry and her management team are yet to respond to any of the accusations. We cannot confirm or deny the validity of the accusations. But bear in mind that anyone in possession of power and influence can abuse it in some way, regardless of age, race or gender.
