Katy Perry was recently accused of sexual harassment by a model she worked with, and now she has been accused of sexual misconduct again, this time by a female TV host in the country of Georgia, named Tina Kandelaki. According to Consequence of Sound, Kandelaki alleges that Perry harassed her at an industry party, after becoming heavily intoxicated. The TV host claims that Perry touched her inappropriately and also attempted to kiss her. Kandelaki states that she refused Perry’s advances, but alleges that the pop star continued to harass others at the party.
Kandelaki explained that she decided to come forward with her allegations after hearing about the claims of Josh Kloss, a model who appeared in the “Teenage Dream” video with Perry. Kloss took to Instagram to allege that in 2010 Perry pulled his pants down in front of a number of people at a party.

“After I met Katy, we sang a worship song, ‘open the eyes of my heart’ She was cool and kind. When other people were around she was cold as ice even called the act of kissing me ‘gross’ to the entire set while filming. 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,” Kloss wrote.
“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’ So I saw Katy a couple times after her break up with Russel. This one time I brought a friend who was dying to meet her. It was Johny 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,” he continued.
“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. So for all her good she is an amazing leader, hers songs are mainly great empowering anthems. And that is it. I continued to watch her use clips of her music videos for her world tour and then her dvd, only highlighting one of her male co-stars, and it was me,” Kloss added.
“I made around 650 in total off of teenage dream. I was lorded over by her reps, about not discussing a single thing about anything regarding Katy publicly. And a couple interviews they edited and answered for me. So, happy anniversary to one of the most confusing, assaulting, and belittling jobs I’ve ever done. Yay [teenage dream] I was actually gonna play the song and sing it on ukelele for the anniversary, but then as I was tuning I thought, fโ this, I’m not helping her bs image another second,” he concluded his statement.
At this time, neither Perry nor her reps appear to have commented on the allegations.
