  • Ruby Rose has made allegations of sexual assault against Katy Perry on social media.
  • The singer's team has denied the allegations and questioned the actress's credibility.
  • Josh Kloss, a former model in the “Teenage Dream” music video, has also spoken out publicly.
  • He reportedly claimed that he was exposed without his consent in front of several people and subsequently silenced.
  • This case has reignited discussions about consent, power dynamics, and allegations against public figures.

On April 13, 2026, we reported that Ruby Rose had spoken out on social media to denounce singer Katy Perry, making allegations of sexual assault against her.

Several of them could testify to her behavior

In response, Katy Perry's team firmly rejected these accusations, stating that Ruby Rose has a well-documented history of posting serious allegations on social media against various individuals—claims that, according to them, have been repeatedly denied by those directly involved.

Following these public statements and the attention the case has generated, model Josh Kloss, who played Katy Perry's love interest in the “Teenage Dream” music video, spoke out on social media. He stated that several people who have worked with the star or her team could attest to her behavior.

His recent statement

“Yes. I feel a certain sense of validation, for sure. But I have to say that I'm getting a lot of interview requests again, and I'm not going to add more noise to all of this. The truth is the truth. That's what it is. Anyone who worked for her or with her inner circle between 2008 and 2020 witnessed many things and knows exactly what I'm talking about. Many of them could speak to her behavior without necessarily saying they were victims of it. So I don't need to do all the work myself anymore. There's one person I might be able to interview, because she's incredible and she stood up to one of the biggest media groups in Los Angeles. So, kudos to you,” he says.

A Look Back at a Shocking Testimony

As reported by several U.S. media outlets, Katy Perry had already been accused of sexual misconduct in 2019 by the model.

Josh Kloss reportedly claimed that the singer had exposed her private parts in front of several people without his consent.

He reportedly later claimed that Katy Perry's representatives had prevented him from speaking about his professional experience with the singer.

“It was Johny Wujek's birthday party at Moonlight Rollerway. When I saw her, we hugged, and she was still my crush,” he reportedly wrote about the encounter.

“But the moment I turned around to introduce my friend, she pulled down my Adidas sweatpants and underwear as far as she could to show my penis to some of her male friends and the crowd around us. Can you imagine how humiliated and embarrassed I felt,” he reportedly testified.

An investigation launched

Several years after his initial allegations, Josh Kloss now seems to find, in Ruby Rose's public statement, a certain resonance with his own story.

With this new public statement, he also appears to want to remind people that others may have witnessed the behavior in question.

This statement reignites attention surrounding these allegations and brings to light issues related to consent, power dynamics, and the difficulty of reporting alleged acts targeting well-known figures.

Additionally, Australian police reportedly recently confirmed the opening of an investigation into sexual assault, following a complaint filed by Australian actress Ruby Rose against singer Katy Perry.
