Fue en 2010 cuando la cantante estadounidense Katy Perry estrenó el videoclip de su canción Teenage Dream. En ese entonces, estuvo acompañada por el modelo Josh Kloss, quien interpretó a su novio en la producción.

Recientemente, el protagonista hizo públicas duras acusaciones en contra de la intérprete de Roar. A través de su cuenta de Instagram, señaló que la cantante le bajó los pantalones y expuso sus genitales ante un grupo de personas durante una fiesta.

“¿Te imaginas lo patético y avergonzado que me sentí? Solo digo esto ahora porque nuestra cultura se basa en demostrar que los hombres poderosos son perversos, pero las mujeres con poder son igual de desagradables”, señaló Josh en la red social.

You know. 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. 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. 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. 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 #teenagedream I was actually gonna play the song and sing it on ukele for the anniversary, but then as I was tuning I thought, fuck this, I’m not helping her bs image another second.

A través de esta plataforma, entregó un crudo relato del momento, y reveló que no lo denunció antes porque no buscaba beneficiarse económicamente con su testimonio.

“Admitir que alguien te abusó de una manera tan jodida y que no llamaste a la policía en ese momento, fue difícil de digerir, y tomó mucho tiempo”, dijo.

En este contexto, el modelo acusó que solo ganó US$ 650 (cerca de 460 mil pesos chilenos) por su trabajo en el video, considerando que apareció en la gira mundial de Perry y en un DVD.

Como prueba de su testimonio, Kloss publicó supuestas capturas de pantalla de conversaciones que tuvo con el equipo de Katy Perry, donde le pedían que protegiera a la cantante.

“El miedo se queda contigo cuando estás censurado para proteger la imagen de otra persona. Pero en cambio, eres tratado como una prostituta y expuesto en frente de sus amigos”, reflexionó en la publicación.

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. Then you are shocked and you block it out, because you watch the face of children being uplifted by positive music she sang. And 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. 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. Folks I am putting us both out on display to increase and enlighten everyone. I don’t want money for this, Many of you project your own ambitions. I don’t want fame from this, that is why I stomached it and kept working, and kept supporting the “teenage dream” image. And this anniversary, and time elapse made me realize hey now is the time to let it out and let it go. Not one more day of hearing “How was Katy Perry?”
