Josh Kloss, the male love interest in Katy Perry’s 2010 video for her song “Teenage Dream,” recently accused Perry of exposing his penis in front of friends at a July 14, 2012 birthday party in Los Angeles.

In a series of Instagram posts (from his now private account), Kloss reportedly wrote:

“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?

“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….

“It’s about getting it off my chest, if you were idolized for something you helped create, but were actually used as a prostitute and then physically treated as such, you might understand me.

“So, happy anniversary to one of the most confusing, assaulting, and belittling jobs I’ve ever done.”

Kloss is now 38-years-old.

The U.K. tabloid The Sun reports that Katy’s former stylist Johnny Wujek was celebrating his birthday at the party in question. Wujek has defended Perry from Kloss’ allegations.

Wujek wrote, “I’m not about to let you make accusations against my friend like this. This is such bullsh*t. Katy would never do something like that. We all know about your ongoing obsession with her since the day of filming that video.”

This is only the most recent scandal to sweep up Ms. Perry of late. Last week, Perry was successfully sued for $2.78 million by the Christian rapper Flame for allegedly ripping a tune of his off for her 2013 song “Dark Horse.”

Katy Perry has a large gay fan base, has featured drag stars in her live performances and became infamous for two of her early songs, “I Kissed a Girl” and her homophobic tune “Ur so gay.”
