Katy Perry faces backlash as old Justin Bieber and teen fan clips resurface amid new allegations
Katy Perry is facing renewed criticism after old footage involving Justin Bieber and a teenage fan resurfaced online amid fresh misconduct allegations.
According to a recent Daily Mail report, the clips have gone viral again on social media and reignited debate over consent and double standards in celebrity culture. One resurfaced video from 2012 shows Perry greeting Justin Bieber backstage at an event before appearing to grab him unexpectedly.

Another widely shared clip shows Perry interacting with a 14-year-old fan onstage before kissing him, drawing strong reactions online years later.
Actress Ruby Rose previously accused Perry of misconduct, while two other women have also shared separate claims involving unwanted physical contact. Perry has denied Rose’s allegation through a representative, and no criminal charges have been filed in connection with any of the claims.
Online reactions to the resurfaced videos have been divided, with some users dismissing the Bieber moment while others strongly criticized the incident involving the teenage fan.
