"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," Josh Kloss alleged in an Instagram post.
Katy Perry has been accused of sexual misconduct by her "Teenage Dream" music video co-star, Josh Kloss.
Over the weekend, Kloss -- a model who's appeared in various music videos and ads, including Kim Kardashian's Sketchers commercial -- accused Perry of pulling down his pants to allegedly expose his penis in front of a group of people at a party.

Kloss played Perry's love interest in the music video, which debuted in August of 2010. He said she was "cool and kind" when they first met but that his experience as her co-star was an uncomfortable one.
"When other people were around she was cold as ice even called the act of kissing me 'gross' to the entire set while filming," Kloss wrote in a lengthy Instagram post. "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 Russell [Brand]," Kloss continued. "This one time I brought a friend who was dying to meet her. It was Johnny 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," he went on to allege, "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?"
Wujek, who was Perry's stylist at the time, responded to Kloss' claims, calling them "bullshit."
"Oh hell no. I'm not about to let you make accusations against my friend like this. This is such bullshit," he commented on Kloss' post. "Katy would never do something like that. We all know about your on going obsession with her since the day of filming that video. You were writing her music. And planning an imaginary future with her. It's not ok to do this to people who have done nothing but uplift and inspire others. Focus on your life and your daughter and move on Josh. I'll be praying for you. We all will."
Reps for Perry have yet to respond to TooFab's request for comment.
Kloss claimed he's only now speaking about the alleged experience "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," he wrote. "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."
According to Kloss, he made around $650 in total from "Teenage Dream," alleging, "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," he concluded, adding, "I was actually gonna play the song and sing it on [ukulele] for the anniversary, but then as I was tuning I thought, f--k this, I'm not helping her bs image another second."
In a second Instagram post, Kloss shared a screenshot from his commercial with Kardashian, writing, "For the strong youth defending their queen on here. I commend your heart behind your comments, which seeks to protect someone you idolize. #kimkardashian #krisjenner these are two women in a lot more power than Katy, AND TREATED me with RESPECT! Perhaps you should give them your loyalty."

Many of the thousands of comments left on Kloss' posts urged the model to stop seeking his "15 minutes of fame," which critics felt was at the expense of the pop star -- but he insisted his accusations were true.
In an Instagram Story, which he's highlighted on his page with the title, "Truth," Kloss wrote, "If you know me, you would know I am looked up to as a strong man."
"I come from own past of strong bully men," he continued. "To admit that someone violated you in such a f--ked up way, and you didn't call the cops at the moment was hard to swallow, and it took a lot of time. There have been a million times I could have brought it up, but those times would have benefited me financially. At this time, there is absolutely no benefit for me, but benefit for many others, who can Contemplate power, would they do what she did to me, or would they stay respectful of me and my body. Obviously many men throughout history have just reached out and did her exact actions because of their power."
He added, "So you believing me is inconsequential to me, it's more about letting people believe that even a guy like me has felt powerless and been violated, and still courageous to bring it up when it counts, not when it's lucrative."
In a third Instagram post published Monday, Kloss said he let fear and the desire to protect Perry's image keep him quiet, claiming he felt he had been "treated like a prostitute."
"I was supposed to minimize myself and stay PC to protect her 'image.' I listened and was a good boy," he claimed. "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," he maintained. "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?'"
