Kloss worked on Perry’s music video for “Teenage Dream” in 2009. He alleges that Perry exposed his penis to a crowd of people at a party. Perry has not commented on the alleged incident.
Now Kandelaki is claiming that Perry attempted to kiss her at a private party. The newspaper did not specify when the alleged encounter took place.
Kloss, who starred in Perry’s “Teenage Dream” music video, which was released in 2010, alleged that the singer exposed his private part to an entire party of people.
Kloss, 38, is originally from Portland, Oregon, and in addition to modeling, he writes, acts and produces short films. He’s starred in over 15 commercials and is the proud dad to daughter, Izabella, from a previous relationship with ex-wife Chere Rochelle.
In his slide-show post discussing Perry on Instagram, Kloss explained why he waited nearly a decade to share his story with the world. “I was supposed to minimize myself and stay PC to protect her ‘image.’ I listened and was a good boy. The fear sticks with you, when you are censored to protect someone else’s image. But in return treated like a prostitute and exposed in front of a group of her friends and other random people,” reports HEAVY.
Perry and her representatives have not commented about the accusations. Friends have come to her defense in the Instagram comments on Kloss’ post. Kloss has not commented beyond the Instagram post.
