Anna Kendrick is back in the headlines after a resurfaced interview about Katy Perry began making the rounds online. During a 2014 appearance on Conan, Kendrick recalled what she described as a “weird” moment involving the pop star at the Grammys. At the time, the exchange was treated as humorous, but the clip has since resurfaced in a much different context.
“Katy Perry finger-banged my cleavage. It was a weird night,” Kendrick said during the interview as the audience erupted in laughter. “She’s very mature.”
The conversation continued as host Conan O’Brien asked for more details about the unexpected interaction. “I have met her before, and she’s like … she’s aggressive. I like it,” Kendrick said.
When asked about the moment, Kendrick suggested her outfit may have played a role. Her plunging Azzaro gown was “kinda asking for it,” she said, before adding, “If nobody had done it, I would’ve been a little sad.”
The renewed attention comes after Ruby Rose made explosive claims about Katy Perry over the weekend.
Ruby Rose Makes Bombshell Claims About Perry
Taking to social media, Rose alleged an incident that she says occurred years ago at a nightclub in Melbourne. “Katy Perry sexual assaulted me at spice market nightclub in Melbourne. Who gives a sh-t what she thinks,” Rose wrote.
She went on to describe the alleged encounter in graphic detail, claiming she previously reframed the story publicly. “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,” Rose alleged.
Rose also explained why she stayed silent for years. “I was only in my early 20s. I’m now 40. It has taken almost 2 decades to say this publicly,” she wrote. “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.”
Katy Perry Denies Claims As Cryptic Post Raises Eyebrows
A representative for Perry has strongly denied the allegations. “The allegations being circulated on social media by Ruby Rose about Katy Perry are not only categorically false, they are dangerous reckless lies,” the rep 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,” the statement continued.
Following the denial, Perry appeared to respond indirectly with a cryptic Instagram Stories. “I love you,” the singer wrote, sharing an image tied to her 2013 track “By the Grace of God,” a song centered on survival and recovery.
As the conversation around Perry continues to gain traction following recent allegations, past remarks from her ex-husband Russell Brand are also being revisited. During a podcast appearance last year, Brand reflected on their relationship, offering a notably different perspective amid the current controversy.
“What can I tell you is, when I was married to Katy Perry, she’s like a, not entirely normal, because she’s an extraordinary, massive star, but she’s not weird or off key,” he said during his podcast “Stay Free with Russell Brand” in April 2025. “And wasn’t involved in anything nefarious, as far as I could tell.”
He added, “The reasons that a marriage didn’t work are the normal human reasons marriages don’t work, and I have nothing but respect for her.”
Russell Brand Shares Rare Insight Into Katy Perry Marriage
While he acknowledged they didn’t always see eye to eye, Brand said that’s simply part of any relationship. “I obviously disagree with her political views,” he continued. “But I probably disagree with some of my wife’s political views, my beloved wife, Laura Brand’s political views. So, you know, you always disagree with people, don’t ya?”
Since their 2012 split, both Brand and Perry, who share daughter Daisy Dove with ex-fiancé Orlando Bloom, have only occasionally spoken about their time together, making his latest comments a rare glimpse into their past.
