Katy Perry faces backlash as old clips with Justin Bieber resurface amid allegations
Actress Ruby Rose has previously accused Katy Perry of misconduct
Katy Perry is facing renewed scrutiny after previously circulated videos involving Justin Bieber and a teenage fan resurfaced online, sparking fresh debate across social media.
According to reports, the clips — originally from the early 2010s — have gone viral again, drawing attention amid recent allegations of inappropriate behaviour involving the singer.
In one widely shared video from 2012, Perry is seen greeting Bieber backstage before appearing to make an unexpected physical gesture toward him.
Another resurfaced clip shows Perry interacting with a 14-year-old fan during an onstage segment, where she kisses him — a moment that has drawn criticism from some users revisiting the footage years later.
The renewed attention comes as multiple women have recently made separate allegations of inappropriate conduct against Perry.
Actress Ruby Rose has previously accused the singer of misconduct, while two other individuals have also shared claims involving unwanted physical contact.
Perry has denied the allegation made by Rose through a representative, and no criminal charges have been filed in relation to any of the claims.
Online reaction to the resurfaced videos has been mixed. While some users have downplayed certain moments, others have raised concerns about consent and questioned perceived double standards in how such incidents are judged within celebrity culture.
The situation continues to unfold as public discussion around the clips and allegations grows.
