Model Josh Kloss accused Katy Perry of pulling his pants down and exposing his penis to a group of people in a post shared to Instagram on Sunday.

Kloss appeared in Perry’s “Teenage Dream” music video in 2010, but he claims the incident did not take place until 2012 at costume designer Johnny Wujek’s birthday party.

“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,” he wrote.

Kloss says he chose to come forward about the assault on the ninth anniversary of working with Perry on the music video, which he claims he only made a total of $65o for.

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

A screenshot of supposed communications between Kloss and Perry’s team regarding an interview was also posted to Instagram. Kloss states he did not come forward about the incident sooner to protect Perry’s image and prove he was not publicizing the incident for money or fame.

“Your mind is stuck trying to do your job and protect her bs image or be honest and help the global dialogue about power and abuse,” Kloss wrote. “And you hear over and over a million times that Males are the great evil on this planet. Meanwhile you know the truth POWER empowers what is corrupt in people, regardless of their gender.”

Wujek and jewelry designer Markus Molinari, two of Perry’s close friends who apparently know Kloss, fiercely defended Perry in the comments section of Kloss’ first post.

“Oh hell no,” Wujek told Kloss on Instagram. “This is such bullshit. Katy would never do something like that. We all know your on going [sic] obsession with her since the day of filming that video.”

Molinari says Kloss’ “obsession with Katy has hit another level.”
