U.S. pop star Katy Perry is facing renewed scrutiny over allegations of sexual misconduct after old video clips, particularly involving singer Justin Bieber and a teenage fan, recently resurfaced and went viral on social media, reigniting debate over celebrity behavior and consent.

The resurgence of these videos has intensified criticism of the singer, coming amid recent accusations from multiple women claiming inappropriate behavior.

According to a recent report by the UK-based Daily Mail, the viral videos have sparked fresh discussions online regarding celebrity conduct, consent, and perceived double standards.

One such clip, from 2012, shows Perry greeting Justin Bieber backstage at an event and unexpectedly touching him.

Another widely circulated video depicts Perry kissing a 14-year-old fan on stage after a conversation. The clip’s reappearance years later has provoked strong reactions across social media platforms.

Adding to the controversy, several women have recently accused Perry of inappropriate conduct. Actress Ruby Rose previously made allegations of misconduct against Perry, while two other women have separately claimed unwanted physical contact.

A representative for Perry has denied Ruby Rose’s accusations. To date, no criminal charges have been filed against the pop star in connection with any of the allegations.

Online commentators have shown mixed reactions to the viral videos. While some have dismissed the incident involving Bieber as trivial, many others have voiced strong criticism regarding the interaction with the teenage fan.
