Not long after Katy Perry and her record label lost her "Dark Horse" lawsuit, the singer is being accused of sexual misconduct. Josh Kloss, who starred in Perry's 2010 music video "Teenage Dream," has accused her on Instagram of exposing his genitals to a crowd when they were at a birthday party.
"After I met Katy, we sang a worship song, 'open the eyes of my heart.' She was cool and kind," Kloss's post begins. "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 says their next interactions took place after her 2011 split from Russell Brand, and the incident in question occurred at a birthday party.
"It was Jo[n]ny Wujek’s birthday party at moonlight roller way," Kloss continued. "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 wrote that he's coming forward now to hold women in power accountable, the same way men in power have been confronted in the #MeToo movement. He says he also waited because Perry's reps allegedly would not let him speak publicly about the singer without their approval. In another Instagram post, Kloss provided screenshots of what he claims are edits from her team on his answers to an interview. Perry nor her team has commented publicly on the allegations.
However, Wujek, whose party was the location of the alleged incident, fired back in the comments.
"Oh hell no. I’m not about to let you make accusations against my friend like this," he wrote. "This is such bullshit. Katy would never do something like that. We all know about your on going 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."
Reps for the singer did not immediately respond to Refinery29's request for comment.
