During a 2014 appearance on Conan O’Brien’s talk show, actress Anna Kendrick recalled what she described as a “weird” encounter with Perry at the Grammys.
The clip has resurfaced after Orange Is the New Black alum Ruby Rose accused Perry of inappropriate behavior during a night out in Melbourne when they were both in their 20s.
“Katy Perry finger b*nged my cleavage,” the actress told Conan O’Brien, as the audience laughed.
When O’Brien asked if Perry “just does that,” Kendrick replied that her outfit that night was “kinda asking for it.”
“If nobody had done it, I would’ve been a little sad,” she added.
O’Brien then asked her to “paint the scene.”
“So you’re standing still, and Katy Perry walks by and [he made a noise and moved his pointed index finger in a downward motion]?” he said.
“I have met her before, and she’s like… she’s aggressive. I like it,” Kendrick responded.
One person wrote as a response to the resurfaced video, “Where there’s smoke there’s fire.” While another wrote, “they are close friends she IS JOKING.”
Some were disturbed by the resurfaced clip, one person wrote, “She is just… so… gross.”
Ruby Rose recently claimed she kept the alleged incident “a secret” because Perry had agreed to help her secure a U.S. visa. She also said she filed four separate police reports against different individuals, including Perry.
In response, a representative for Perry issued a statement:
“The allegations being circulated on social media by Ruby Rose about Katy Perry are not only categorically false; they are dangerous and reckless lies. Ms. Rose has a well-documented history of making serious public allegations on social media against various individuals, claims that have repeatedly been denied by those named.”
Rose later said she had finalized the reports and would not comment further, following instructions from authorities.
As the situation unfolds, several older clips and claims involving Perry have resurfaced online.
One widely shared video shows her grabbing Justin Bieber’s backside at the 2012 Capital Summertime Ball.
Actor Josh Kloss, who appeared in her Teenage Dream music video, also previously accused Perry of misconduct, alleging she exposed him in front of others without consent. Separately, TV presenter Tina Kandelaki claimed Perry once tried to kiss her without consent at an event.
In 2018, Perry also made headlines after kissing an American Idol contestant, Benjamin Glaze, on the lips without warning after he said he had never been kissed. Glaze later said he didn’t consider it harassment, but admitted it made him uncomfortable.
