A female Russian journalist claims she was sexually harassed by Katy Perry.
Russian Tina Kandelaki, 43, who is also a TV presenter, says she was subjected to unwanted romantic attention by the singer.
She said: “Once I was invited to a private party with Katy Perry, where she was pretty drunk, and she apparently fancied me as she was trying it on pretty strongly. I managed to fight back and am pleased to say that all my fitness training was not in vain, but then Katie instantly found herself a new victim (to my shock again female) for kisses, embracing and dirty dances.”

She said she was speaking out now because although she did not see herself as a victim then, the memories remained and she has no doubt that there are other people who feel the same and have carried unpleasant memories of how their dignity was offended, and they may well also now start to speak out.
Kandelaki’s statement, which was posted on the instant messaging app Telegram, came after Katy Perry was accused of sexual misconduct by Josh Kloss, who starred in her 2010 music video “teenage dream” who said she exposed his genitals to a crowd when they were at a birthday party.
