Georgian television host and producer Tina Kandelaki accused Katy Perry on Thursday of touching her inappropriately and attempting to kiss her at an industry party.

The accusation comes only three days after her “Teenage Dream” music video co-star, Josh Kloss, accused Perry of pulling down his pants and exposing his penis at a party in 2012.

Kandelaki claims the singer was persistent in the alleged molestation until Kandelaki was forced to physically defend herself, according to Russian magazine Starhit. Kandelaki says Perry continued to harass other party guests.

“Once I was invited to a private party with Katy Perry, where she, being pretty tipsy, chose me as an object for the manifestation of her passion,” Kandelaki said, per Starhit. “I managed to fight back, strength training was not in vain, and Katy instantly found a new victim for kisses, hugs, and dirty dances.”

The singer has a history of imposing alleged inappropriate, undesired sexual behavior on others. Perry kissed a 2018 American Idol contestant without his consent and also grabbed Shawn Mendes’ butt at the 2017 iHeartRadio Music Awards.
