It's been a rough couple of months for Katy Perry, and now an old interview clip isn't exactly helping matters.
A resurfaced video of Anna Kendrick recounting a bizarre physical interaction with Perry on a late-night talk show has gone viral - and its timing could hardly be worse.
It comes after the singer was accused of sexual assault by actress Ruby Rose in a series of explosive posts on Threads in April.
The clip comes from a 2014 appearance on Conan, where Kendrick told host Conan O'Brien about a wild night at the Grammy Awards and a very hands-on encounter with Perry.
"Katy Perry finger-banged my cleavage," Kendrick told a stunned O'Brien.
"It was a weird night. She's very mature!"
The Pitch Perfect star had been wearing a slightly revealing dress to the ceremony and joked that she'd been 'kind of asking for it' with the outfit she'd chosen.
"If nobody had done it, I would've been a little sad," she added.
When O'Brien asked if that kind of behavior was typical for the pop star, Kendrick didn't hesitate: "I have met her before, and she's aggressive. I like it."
The audience laughed, O'Brien riffed on it, and at the time, nobody batted an eyelid.
It was one of those classic late-night anecdotes that gets a few laughs and is promptly forgotten about.
That is, until now.
The resurfacing of Kendrick's interview is directly linked to the bombshell allegations made by Ruby Rose against Perry.
Rose, who starred in Orange is the New Black and Batwoman, accused Perry of sexually assaulting her at a nightclub in Melbourne when Rose was in her early 20s.
She described the alleged incident in graphic detail on Threads, saying it had taken her 'almost 2 decades' to speak about it publicly.
The actress also claimed she had previously told the story but reframed it as a 'funny little drunk story' because she didn't know how else to process what had happened.
Rose added that she stayed silent in part because Perry later helped her obtain a US visa.
In the wake of those allegations, social media users have been trawling through old interviews and footage involving Perry - and Kendrick's 2014 Conan appearance was quickly flagged and shared widely.
As is always the case when old celebrity clips resurface during a controversy, the response has been mixed.
Some users have pointed out that Kendrick's anecdote was told as a joke and clearly wasn't presented as a complaint - she seemed genuinely amused by the whole thing.
Others have argued that the story takes on a different tone when viewed alongside Rose's far more serious allegations, suggesting a pattern of Perry overstepping physical boundaries.
There are also plenty of people urging caution, noting that a funny talk show story from 2014 and an allegation of sexual assault are two very different things.
It's worth noting that Kendrick herself has not commented on the resurfacing of the clip or weighed in on the current allegations against Perry.
As of writing, Perry has not publicly addressed the allegations from Rose, nor has she commented on the Kendrick clip doing the rounds.
Rose has since stated that she intends to go to the police with her claims, though she acknowledged they may fall outside the statute of limitations.

A resurfaced article has revealed more disturbing allegations about the night Ruby Rose claims Katy Perry sexually assaulted her.
Earlier this week, the 40-year-old Orange Is The New Black star made the explosive allegation about the pop star, 41, claiming the incident took place at Spice Market nightclub in Melbourne back in 2010.
"She saw me ‘resting’ on my best friend's lap to avoid her and bent down, pulled her underwear to the side, and rubbed her disgusting vagina on my face till my eyes snapped open, and I projectile vomited on her," she said, adding that she has photographic proof and witnesses.
Rose explained that she initially downplayed the incident publicly because she "didn’t know how else to handle it" and was concerned about jeopardising her chances of obtaining a US visa with Perry’s help.
"I’m now 40. It has taken almost 2 decades to say this publicly. Though I am so grateful to have made it long enough to find my voice, it just shows how much of an impact trauma and sexual assault takes. Thank you for seeing me," she added.
Australian police confirmed they have launched a formal investigation into the claims, while 'Fireworks' singer's representatives have strongly denied the claims.
"The allegations being circulated on social media by Ruby Rose about Katy Perry are not only categorically false, they are dangerous, reckless lies," they said.
"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," they added.
The controversy has since intensified with the reappearance of Rose’s own account of that night, which was written in an article more than a decade ago.
Per the Herald Sun, Rose described a chaotic night out with Perry that led her to quit alcohol in a resurfaced news.com.au article. But she made no mention of any assault at the time.
"I spectacularly lost dignity (and keys) one night not too long ago. Remember when Katy Perry and I crashed the year 12 formal? I don’t. I had been off the grog for 30 days - my first attempt at sobriety - and I was out partying with Katy," she wrote at the time.
"What I do remember thinking was: 'I'll have a drink tonight, I deserve one. I mean, what’s the worst that could happen?' Well, not stopping at one drink, or ten, and then vomiting on Katy’s foot was the answer."
She added: “Before you jump to conclusions, nothing horrific happened, nor have I been hit with a DUI - but I just had enough, and it has been one of the best decisions of my life."
Footage from the night has been shared online, showing the 'Roar' songstress on the evening of August 15, 2010, at the Grand Hyatt hotel, where she and Rose crashed a high school prom.
Perry can be seen grabbing a microphone and singing along to several songs, including Beyoncé's 'Single Ladies', while appearing relaxed and in good spirits. Rose is not visible in the footage.
From there, the pair reportedly went to Melbourne nightclub Spice Market - the venue attached to the hotel where Rose alleges the assault took place.
A former Spice Market manager described the evening as a "security nightmare," adding: "I wasn’t aware of any alleged assault, or someone vomiting... they were drunk, they weren’t paralytic or anything."
He said they probably had "too much to drink," recalling: "To avoid people taking photos of them in a state, we organised a car and driver to be waiting outside the Collins St entrance of the hotel.
"We escorted them out the back and up the fire exit and put them in the car together. I think from there they went on to The Peel Hotel," he added.
The renewed scrutiny comes as a previous allegation involving the 'Dark Horse' singer has also resurfaced.
Actor Josh Kloss, who appeared in her 2010 Teenage Dream music video, claimed in 2019 that she exposed him by pulling down his Adidas sweats and underwear in front of a crowd.
"Can you imagine how pathetic and embarrassed I felt?" he wrote, adding that he felt "assaulted and belittled" by the experience.
Kloss also spoke about the lasting impact, saying he felt restricted from speaking out at the time.
"I made only $650 from the video while being lorded over by her reps, about not discussing a single thing about anything regarding Katy publicly," he said in a since-deleted Instagram post in August 2019, per RadarOnline.

Ruby Rose has accused Katy Perry of sexual assault in a number of bombshell posts on Sunday night (April 12).
The Orange Is The New Black actress, 40, took to Threads to speak about the alleged incident, which she says happened almost two decades ago.
Rose was replying to an article posted online about Perry's reaction to Justin Bieber's unorthodox Coachella set, admitting that it has "taken almost 2 decades to say this publicly."
Perry, 41, was attending the popular music festival with partner Justin Trudeau, and caused some chatter online after joking about Bieber having YouTube Premium, in reference to his nostalgic, MacBook-led Coachella set.
But now, the artist is at the centre of some very serious allegations from the Australian actress.
Rose commented below the article about Perry, stated: “Katy Perry sexual assaulted me at spice market nightclub in Melbourne. Who gives a s*** what she thinks.”
Many social media users then flooded her replies with questions, leading to the Batwoman star to providing the full background on her claims.
She explained that it took place in her "early 20s", adding: “It has taken almost 2 decades to say this publicly.
“Though I am so grateful to have made it long enough to find my voice, it just shows how much of an impact trauma and sexual assault takes.”
Replying to another comment, Rose alleged: “She didn’t kiss me. She saw me ‘resting’ on my best friends lap to avoid her and bent down, pulled her underwear to the side and rubbed her disgusting vagina on my face till my eyes snapped open and I projectile vomited on her.
“After it I threw up on her. I told the story publicly but changed it to be a ‘funny little drunk story’ because I didn’t know how else to handle it.
"Later she agreed to help me get my US visa. So I kept it a secret. But I DID tell yall she wasn’t a good person. Instead I got attacked by.. everyone.”
Rose then opened up about the "traumatic" experience, explaining: “Before I open up about something incredibly raw and traumatic, I tell myself ‘it’s ok, you don’t need people to believe you, you just need to get it out of your poor body, before it gives you cancer.’
"But then I see this post and … tears consume me, in a good way. Thank you.”
Perry is yet to respond to the allegations from Rose, with it still unclear if there is any truth to them.
The pair have a history of not getting along, as the actress had criticized Perry's music in 2017, describing it as "purposeful poop."
Speaking more on Threads, the actress wrote: "I want to thank all the brave women who have come forward with their stories about sexual abuse. Especially the ones who went through the painful process of going through the police and court system.
"For years I have been too wounded and afraid to take the appropriate steps because I know the system seldom works."
She spoke of being "awoken by PTSD flashbacks" due to the trauma, saying that she has "lashed out" in the past as she "needed to protect myself."
Rose then revealed that she has gone to police with regards to her claims, telling followers: "Today I will be walking into a police station to see if any of my experiences can be investigated. I imagine they are past their statute of limitations, but all the more reason to try.
"I have a long list, it will probably take more out of me than I’m prepared for, but I will come back here to update others on the process, as soon as I am ready."

Video and photos have surfaced that allegedly show the night Ruby Rose claims she was sexually assaulted by Katy Perry at a Melbourne nightclub in 2010.
The footage, obtained by TMZ, confirms that the two were together on the night in question - something that was not in dispute, but which now has visual evidence to support it.
It comes as Australian police confirmed they have launched a formal investigation into the claims, while Perry's representatives have strongly denied the allegations, calling them 'categorically false' and 'dangerous, reckless lies'.
The footage shows Perry and Rose together on the evening of August 15, 2010, at the Grand Hyatt hotel, where the pair crashed a high school prom.
Perry can be seen grabbing a microphone and singing along to several songs, including Beyoncé's 'Single Ladies', while appearing relaxed and in good spirits.
Rose was with her at the time, though she is not visible in the footage.
From there, the pair reportedly went on to Melbourne nightclub Spice Market - the venue attached to the hotel where Rose alleges the assault took place.
At the time, Perry had just released 'California Gurls', the lead single from her Teenage Dream album.
Rose was primarily known as a model and had not yet broken through as an actress.
Rose first made the claims on Sunday (April 12) in a series of posts on Threads, responding to an article about Perry's reaction to Justin Bieber's Coachella set.
"Katy Perry sexual assaulted me at [Spice Market] nightclub in Melbourne. Who gives a s*** what she thinks," she wrote.
She later provided graphic details of what she alleges happened, claiming Perry approached her while she was resting on a friend's lap and assaulted her.
Rose said she 'projectile vomited' as a result.
The actress, now 40, said it had taken her 'almost [two] decades' to speak about it publicly, and that she had previously told the story but reframed it as a 'funny little drunk story' because she didn't know how else to handle it.
She also claimed Perry later helped her obtain a US visa, which kept her silent.
Rose's posts on Threads have since been deleted.
On Tuesday, she confirmed she had filed reports with police.
"As of this afternoon, I have finalised all of my reports," she wrote.
"This means I am no longer able to comment, repost, or talk publicly about any of those cases, or the individuals involved."
Victoria Police confirmed on Wednesday that detectives are investigating.
"Melbourne Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team (SOCIT) detectives are investigating a historical sexual assault that occurred in Melbourne in 2010," police said in a statement.
"Police have been told the incident occurred at a licensed premises in Melbourne's CBD.
"As the investigation remains ongoing, it would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage."
Police did not name either individual involved.
Perry's representatives issued a strong denial after Rose's posts went viral.
"The allegations being circulated on social media by Ruby Rose about Katy Perry are not only categorically false, they are dangerous, reckless lies," they said.
"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."
Perry herself has not commented publicly.
She was at Coachella over the weekend with her partner, former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, when Rose first posted the allegations.
The former manager of Spice Market, which closed its doors for good earlier this year, also spoke publicly about the night in question.
Speaking to the Herald Sun, he recalled that Perry and Rose arrived at the venue together, along with Perry's hair and make-up team and a friend of Rose's.
"It was a security nightmare because there were 600 people there and Katy kept coming out and dancing with everybody and going right in the middle of the mosh pit," he said.
He said the pair spent most of the evening in a cordoned-off VIP area known as the Genie Bottle, where they were 'having drinks and stuff' and 'mainly doing their own thing'.
"I wasn't aware of any alleged assault, or someone vomiting," he told the paper.
He added that the pair were escorted out through the back of the venue at the end of the night and left together.
With the police investigation now formally underway and Rose confirming she has completed her reports, the matter has moved beyond social media and into the hands of authorities.
Rose has said she is unable to comment further while the investigation is ongoing.
Perry's team has made clear they consider the claims to be false.
The emergence of the TMZ footage confirms the two were together that night - but what happened between them at Spice Market remains, for now, a matter of dispute.
The investigation is ongoing.

Katy Perry has now responded to claims that she sexually assaulted actress Ruby Rose, calling them "categorically false".
The Orange Is The New Black star came out with the bombshell claim on Sunday evening (April 12), in a reply to an article about the artist's reaction to Justin Bieber's Coachella set.
Rose, 40, said that it has "taken almost 2 decades to say this publicly," as she alleged that she was sexually assaulted by Perry at a nightclub in Melbourne when she was in her early 20s.
The Australian actress and model, who is known for her roles in titles such as Batwoman and John Wick: Chapter 2, made the allegations against the American artist in a series of posts on Threads, concluding that she had gone to police with her claims.
But now, Perry has hit back with a statement of her own.
A representative of Katy Perry's has now unequivocally denied the claims brought to her by Ruby Rose, in a statement shared on Monday.
It read: “The allegations being circulated on social media by Ruby Rose about Katy Perry are not only categorically false, they are dangerous, 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."
Since the actress' initial allegations, she has posted a number of times about the topic on Threads.
Rose admitted to followers that "as a woman, for a myriad of reasons, opening up about W on W [women-on-women] violence and sexual abuse, seems to be 100 times harder than speaking about the male predators, at least for me."
Replying to a follower who suggested that she was speaking out in relation to a Twitter feud which she had with Perry in 2017, she replied that she's "not interested in filing a report over this."
The actress further alleged: "[Perry] is more than welcome to sue me (she won’t, because it happened, I have photos and it was literally in public and witnessed by multiple people),
"Plus there is so much more that happened in the years leading up to her silly song she won’t want me discussing. The psychological manipulation was strong with that one."
The actress had replied to a post of Perry at Coachella, when she wrote: “Katy Perry sexual assaulted me at spice market nightclub in Melbourne. Who gives a s*** what she thinks.”
When asked by followers, she further explained: “I was only in my early 20s. I’m now 40.
“It has taken almost 2 decades to say this publicly.
“Though I am so grateful to have made it long enough to find my voice, it just shows how much of an impact trauma and sexual assault takes.”
Rose went on: “She didn’t kiss me. She saw me ‘resting’ on my best friends lap to avoid her and bent down, pulled her underwear to the side and rubbed her disgusting vagina on my face till my eyes snapped open and I projectile vomited on her.
“After it I threw up on her. I told the story publicly but changed it to be a ‘funny little drunk story’ because I didn’t know how else to handle it. Later she agreed to help me get my US visa. So I kept it a secret. But I DID tell yall she wasn’t a good person. Instead I got attacked by.. everyone.
"Though I am so grateful to have made it long enough to find my voice, it just shows how much of an impact trauma and sexual assault takes," she stated.

Perry’s representatives have issued a strong denial of the claims, relating to an alleged incident in an Australian nightclub.

She then explained how the incident took place while she was in her ‘early 20s’ and said: “It has taken almost 2 decades to say this publicly.

“This is a standard request from the police and in many ways, quite the relief.
“I can start the healing process now.
“And temporary move forward.”
