Katy Perry est accusée d’inconduite sexuelle

On le sait: la grande majorité des personnes qui ont pris la parole dans la foulée de #MeToo sont des femmes. En effet, le mouvement a ouvert un dialogue et un espace de parole, qui a permis à de nombreuses femmes de dénoncer les travers du patriarcat.

Cela dit, dans certains cas, ce sont des hommes qui prennent la parole et qui dénoncent les abus de femmes. Selon nous, c’est important d’écouter la parole de ceux et celles qui formulent des allégations d’inconduites sexuelles, peu importe leur genre.

C’est donc important pour nous de parler du mannequin Josh Kloss qui accuse Katy Perry d’avoir commis des actes à caractères sexuels non consentis à son égard.

C’est sur son compte Instagram que Josh Kloss est sorti de l’ombre, pas plus tard qu’hier.

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.

Comme il l’explique dans sa publication, Josh Kloss a tenu la vedette dans un vidéoclip de Katy Perry, Teenage Dream, il y a presque 10 ans.

Sur Instagram, le mannequin décrit le comportement déplacé qu’aurait eu la chanteuse à son égard, lors d’une soirée d’anniversaire: « Quand je l’ai vue, j’avais un kick sur elle. Elle m’a fait un câlin. Mais quand je me suis tourné pour lui présenter mon ami, elle a tiré mes pantalons et mes sous-vêtements pour montrer mon pénis à ses ami.e.s et la foule qui étaient sur place. Pouvez-vous imaginer à quel point je me suis senti humilié? »

Josh Kloss explique aussi qu’il n’a jamais porté plainte parce que Katy Perry était en position de pouvoir vis-à-vis de lui, et qu’elle lui a fait promettre de ne jamais en parler.

Quelques heures plus tard, Josh Kloss a fait paraître une seconde publication, dans laquelle il s’adresse à ceux et celles qui l’accusent de mentir et qui protègent Katy Perry.

Dans cette deuxième publication, il affirme que des femmes comme Kim Kardashian et Kris Jenner sont des femmes de pouvoir et qu’elles l’ont toujours traité avec respect. Il invite les gens à se montrer loyaux envers elles, plutôt qu’envers leur « Queen » Katy Perry.
