If you’re a feminist, you have to take the allegations against Katy Perry seriously
If Josh Kloss was a woman and Katy Perry was a man, his accusations would be all over the news and Perry would be off the radio. But that’s not the case
What happens when a famous woman is accused of the sexual misconduct that we’ve been taught to expect from powerful men? In the aftermath of the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements, Katy Perry looks set to find out.
The singer faces allegations of sexual misconduct. Tina Kandelaki, a Russian journalist, claims that Perry touched her without consent and kissed her while intoxicated at an industry party. Model Josh Kloss, who worked with Perry on her Teenage Dream video in 2010, came out with allegations that the singer exposed his genitals without consent to her friends while at a party they attended together.
This is not the first time Perry has been accused of questionable sexual behaviour, an American Idol contestant claimed Perry kissed him without his consent a few years back, but he declined to press charges. Perry was also caught on camera grabbing Shawn Mendes’s bum when he was still a teenager in 2017.
But this time the allegations are more serious. In an Instagram post, Kloss wrote: “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.”
Kloss is right. Despite three claims of inappropriate behaviour, Perry has yet to be “cancelled” or face much public condemnation. If these accusations, which the singer has yet to publicly acknowledge, are proven true, then Perry should be exiled from the industry and considered a pariah.
Yet, in the comments of the post that Kloss revealed that he is an alleged victim of Perry’s unwanted advances, Kloss is being harassed, blamed and accused of lying for attention. If this seems familiar, it is the same rhetoric aimed at female victims of sexual violence.
Kloss is an alleged victim of sexual assault. He waited nine years to tell his story because he was fearful of coming out against a powerful woman who could end his career. If he was a woman and Perry was a man, his alleged assault would be all over the news and Perry would be off the radio. But that’s not the case.
When men are victims of sexual violence, they’re taken less seriously.

Teenage Dream
(Katy Perry)
You think I’m pretty
Without any make-up on
You think I’m funny
When I tell the puch line wrong
I know you get me
So I’ll let my walls come down, down
Before you met me
I was a wreck
But things were kinda heavy
You brought me to life
Now every February
You’ll be my valentine, valentine
Let’s go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance until we die
You and I
We’ll be young forever
You make me
Feel like
I’m living a Teenage Dream
The way you turn me on
I can’t sleep
Let’s runaway
And don’t ever look back
Don’t ever look back
My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance
And don’t ever look back
Don’t ever look back
We drove to Cali
And got drunk on the beach
Got a motel and
Built a fort out of sheets
I finally found you
My missing puzzle piece
I’m complete
Let’s go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance until we die
You and I
We’ll be young forever
You make me
Feel like
I’m living a Teenage Dream
The way you turn me on
I can’t sleep
Let’s runaway
And don’t ever look back
Don’t ever look back
My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance
And don’t ever look back
Don’t ever look back
I might get your heart racing
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
Let you put your hands on me
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
You make me
Feel like
I’m living a Teenage Dream
The way you turn me on
I can’t sleep
Let’s runaway
And don’t ever look back
Don’t ever look back
My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance
And don’t ever look back
Don’t ever look back
