Katy Perry Would Be Canceled If She Was a Man

0:00 Guys, the things in DC are just getting way too weird, way too perverse.

0:03 So today we are going to take a little break.

0:06 We're gonna talk about how Katy Perry is being accused

0:08 of finger banging somebody's boobs and rubbing her hoohaw on somebody's face.

0:13 Refreshing, isn't it refreshing?

0:14 No.

0:15 But like seriously guys, as I was putting this episode together,

0:18 I was just realising how it seems like Hollywood and politics,

0:21 specifically politics on the right get closer and closer every single day.

0:25 Like maybe this right here is the real horseshoe theory.

0:27 Like we have drama that rivals Drunk, angry Housewives on Bravo like Megan Kelly

0:32 and Mark Levin tweeting about Mike Penises or Ben

0:35 Shapiro and Tucker Carlson social media teams

0:38 like having a meme war with each other.

0:41 And also even worse, it just seems like every single day there

0:44 is a new story about sexual transgressions and misconduct.

0:47 The perversions of people in government.

0:49 Like right before I sat down to write this episode,

0:52 I saw a TikTok of actually Sinclair, that's Elon Musk's Baby Alma,

0:56 former MAGA batty that accusing Madison Cawthorne of sexual harassment,

1:00 which maybe it's just me, but I feel like again,

1:03 kind of another open secret that's kind of like,

1:05 haven't we already heard that story before?

1:06 I dunno, we could talk about that later.

1:08 But then that wasn't all of course, because the horrors persist,

1:11 they continue, they get worse every single day.

1:12 And so then I saw a post about some rumour that representative Ruben Gallego,

1:16 he's the one who is best friends with Eric Swalwell,

1:18 that apparently they had a threesome on Ruben's wedding night.

1:21 Like it's just like, is this DC or is it a Vanity Fair after party?

1:26 Or are these the people that are upholding

1:28 the esteemed values that are founding father fought for?

1:31 Or are we simply just living in the middle of a gross euphoria episode?

1:34 Like that is genuinely what I think every single day.

1:37 So needless to say, I think we need a bit of a detour.

1:40 Let's just talk about Katy Perry.

1:41 'cause obviously that's gonna be a lot less sexual or not.

1:44 Anyway, before we get into this, make sure that you like this episode.

1:47 Subscribe to the channel if you have not already.

1:49 And of course, ring that notification bell if you wanna stay up

1:51 to date on every single thing we are uploading on the Red Cooper Show.

1:54 All right, so in my opinion, and this might be a hot take and I've

1:58 almost made tiktoks about this, and I was like,

2:00 hmm, I don't know, but I have been

2:02 feeling like Katy Perry has been having a comeback.

2:05 And I know, I know I spent hours mocking her last

2:08 year after she became an astronaut, all of that stuff.

2:11 After making an absolute meme of herself

2:14 on that feminist space mission with Jeff Bezos's wife,

2:17 she came back down to Earth literally and she started dating Justin Trudeau.

2:21 And I hate to say it, but that kind of makes sense to me.

2:24 Like I kind of get the relationship.

2:26 And in my opinion, they are a perfect match and it

2:28 has made her better and more relevant than ever before.

2:30 Like suddenly he's taking her to the world's economic forum.

2:34 She's like dressed in these beautiful pants suits.

2:36 They're going to Coachella together,

2:37 they're posting cute little selfies and going to brunch.

2:40 Justin Trudeau's son is going on podcasts being like they're wonderful together.

2:43 Like it just makes sense.

2:44 They're both, if I could like explain it,

2:46 they both feel like the perfect embodiment

2:49 of the liberalism that took hold in the 2000 tens.

2:52 Like she was a feminist, he was an ally.

2:54 Can I make it any more?

2:56 Sorry.

2:56 Had to.

2:57 Anyway, but they are both like peak millennial, liberal cringe.

3:01 It's like a different genre of Taylor

3:04 and Travis and, and to make it even better,

3:06 and this kind of ties into what we're talking about today,

3:07 but they both have very storied pasts.

3:10 Like you know, Justin Trudeau in politics, he did blackface if you know,

3:13 you know, and she allegedly sued nuns

3:16 and a dying veteran over real estate deals.

3:18 And she has apparently a history of groping her fellow celebrities.

3:22 Maybe she should run for office is all I'm saying.

3:24 Anyway.

3:24 Anyway, so I have been feeling like Katy

3:26 Perry has been like coming back into relevance.

3:28 Her songs have been going viral on TikTok and then boom,

3:31 now all of that comeback progress could be hindered by the story.

3:36 And this latest story is a lot more insane allegedly than groping.

3:39 And it all started last weekend at Coachella.

3:42 So if you didn't know Katie Perry,

3:44 Justin Trudeau, they were at Coachella weekend one,

3:46 and she essentially vlogged their entire experience watching Bieber perform.

3:50 She had the phone out, she and Justin,

3:53 you know, he had like the backwards hat on.

3:55 They were canoodling and watching Justin sing the whole

3:58 thing and a lot of those clips went viral.

4:00 So the magazine complex was posting about this and sharing

4:03 some of her funny quotes from these videos,

4:05 which you can see here in this post on threads.

4:07 And then outta literally nowhere,

4:09 no rhyme or reason somebody named Ruby Rose jumps into the comment section.

4:14 Now I personally, and this might be me showing my age,

4:16 but I had no idea who this woman was.

4:19 Like I've heard the name Ruby Rose thrown

4:21 around would not have been able to pick this woman out in a crowd for the entire

4:25 day that I was trying to track the story.

4:27 I thought that we were talking about Amber Rose, and I was like,

4:30 girl, you should have talked about this in your RNC speech.

4:32 Like that would've been far more interesting.

4:33 And then I realised this was totally somebody else.

4:35 And according to my Google search, she is an Australian queer icon.

4:40 She is a queer icon.

4:42 That is her job description.

4:43 She's an actress, artist, singer, dj, all of the things.

4:47 But apparently it's easier to sum it all up as just being a queer icon.

4:50 You know, I didn't know that that was a job option, but good to know now.

4:53 Anyway, moving on from that, she jumps

4:54 into the comment section and she drops this bombshell.

4:57 So she writes, Katy Perry sexually assaulted

4:59 me at Spice Market nightclub in Melbourne, who gives a shit what she thinks,

5:04 but like, excuse me,

5:06 you can't just post that on a random thing and just move on.

5:09 And so immediately people start screenshotting, they start replying,

5:12 they start saying like, what do you mean you need to explain?

5:14 I mean, in my opinion, I'm watching all of this unfold and I genuinely

5:17 feel like the world is going up in flames.

5:19 Like this is just one more thing that I cannot keep track of in my brain.

5:23 Like I am hearing about Swalwell, I am hearing excerpts from RFK Junior's diary

5:28 about how he has to fight lust demons.

5:30 I'm seeing these tiktoks about Madison Cawthorne grabbing the inner

5:33 thighs of women taking photos of their butts at work.

5:36 Like seriously like, and then suddenly I'm smacked in the face with this story.

5:40 Now speaking of being smacked in the face,

5:42 you need to hear what Ruby Rose is specifically accusing Katy

5:46 Perry because this is when I was just like, I'm out.

5:48 Like I cannot take any of this anymore.

5:51 So she says she kissed a girl and you didn't like it.

5:53 And she goes, she didn't kiss me.

5:55 She saw me resting on my best friend's lap to avoid her bent down,

5:59 pulled her underwear to the side and rubbed her disgusting vagina

6:02 on my face until my eyes snapped open and I projectile vomited on her.

6:10 Like what the actual F did we just read?

6:13 Like, is this real life?

6:14 Because it seems like a scene out of the gay

6:16 portal that they shot at the congressional hearing room,

6:19 if you catch my drift, because of how insane this is.

6:22 Like again, people were just gobsmacked.

6:24 It was like, okay, this is not what we expected to be watching unfold at all.

6:27 It took on a life of its own.

6:28 It blew up rightfully so, because if this is true,

6:32 it is horrifying, it is disgusting, gross, obviously inappropriate behaviour.

6:35 But people online were also quick to point

6:37 out that this story did happen 20 years ago.

6:41 So why now?

6:42 Why are you just unloading all of this on threads?

6:45 Why in the comment section of a random article about Justin Bieber,

6:49 are you deciding to drop this ginormous disgusting bomb?

6:53 Especially because allegedly Ruby Rose,

6:55 the queer icon has a history of making up stories about people

6:58 or randomly bringing them to light whenever they are having a moment,

7:02 whenever it might be advantageous to her.

7:04 For example, when Nicki Minaj earlier

7:06 this year got involved in conservative politics,

7:08 suddenly Ruby went from posting,

7:10 you know, a year and a half ago about how Nicki Minaj was lovely,

7:13 she loved touring with her.

7:14 She's been a great collaborator to then posting that she

7:17 was a narcissistic asshole the week after she met JD Vance.

7:21 Convenient is all I'm saying.

7:22 Now, on top of that, when she was starring in the Batwoman TV show,

7:25 she accused her co-star of verbal abuse.

7:28 She accused the chairman of Warner Brothers of harassing women.

7:31 She's called Sydnee Sweeney, a homophobic Cretin.

7:34 She also accused conservative commentator who was in Hollywood years ago,

7:37 Jillian Michaels of trapping her at her home

7:39 saying that she was afraid that Jillian

7:41 was going to put her in a blender and turn her into protein powder.

7:45 And this was all after Jillian came out as maga.

7:47 So then she's like releasing all of this information, like call me crazy.

7:50 But I am starting to see a pattern here like Ruby Rose,

7:53 the call is coming from inside the house and it

7:55 is coming from my friends over at Peer Talk.

7:57 Now you might not know,

7:58 but my wireless company Peer Talk is veteran led and they

8:01 have donated over a million dollars to America's Warrior Partnership,

8:03 which is a fantastic organisation that is

8:05 on the front lines of preventing veteran suicide.

8:07 Now, not only that peer talk is creating American jobs with a US only workforce,

8:11 and of course it would be so much cheaper and easier

8:13 for them to send jobs overseas like so many other companies do.

8:16 But they are truly committed to delivering the best experience possible

8:19 for their customers and supporting our veterans

8:21 and our employees here in America.

8:23 And yes, on top of all of that, I love peer talk service.

8:26 They give you the same towers, the same network,

8:28 the same 5G coverage as one of the big guys,

8:30 but for a fraction of the price I choose to do business with a company who

8:34 shares my values of supporting veterans every single

8:36 day in creating American jobs boosting our economy.

8:38 And you should too.

8:39 Plus the service is just incredible.

8:41 So just go to peer talk.com/cooper to switch to peer talk.

8:43 Again, that is pure talk.com/cooper to switch to my wireless company,

8:47 America's Wireless Company Pure Talk.

8:49 And once you get switched over, then you need to call my friends over at Helix.

8:52 Now I am simply obsessed with my Helix mattress.

8:55 I've said it before as well, but the only person who might be more

8:57 obsessed with the Helix Mattress is my baby.

8:59 He loves it.

8:59 He sleeps best when he is in our bed on that helix mattress.

9:02 Now Helix sleep makes premium mattresses

9:04 and bedding customised to fit your personal needs.

9:06 There are different options for side stomach and back

9:09 sleepers and they conveniently ship everything right to your door.

9:11 The Helix lineup offers 20 plus unique

9:13 mattresses to choose from a variety of mattress

9:15 toppers and ways to upgrade your mattress

9:17 with premium cooling options and so much more.

9:19 Helix truly has a sleep solution for just about everyone.

9:21 Plus Helix is the most awarded mattress brand

9:23 out there from companies like Forbes and Wired.

9:26 And the happy with Helix Guarantee offers a risk free customer first

9:29 experience designed to ensure that you

9:30 are completely satisfied with your new mattress,

9:32 which I know you will be, you are going to love it.

9:34 So if you are ready to make the switch,

9:35 go to helix sleep.com/bread for 20% offsite wide,

9:39 which is an amazing deal and it is

9:40 exclusive for viewers of the Brett Cooper Show.

9:42 Again, that is helix sleep.com/bread for the best sleep of your life.

9:46 Just trust me on this.

9:47 Alright, so back to the point with Ruby Rose.

9:49 Needless to say she has a history and I

9:51 was not the only person who noticed that.

9:53 So it was very understandable for people to start commenting things like this.

9:56 Somebody said, it seems like you've been assaulted by everyone in the industry.

10:00 Have you ever thought about going to the police?

10:02 Crazy idea, crazy idea.

10:03 And then this is how she responded.

10:05 She said, yeah, not interested in filing a report over this.

10:08 Not when I haven't even filed a report

10:09 for numerous rapes at the hands of grown men,

10:11 but she is more than welcome to sue me.

10:13 She won't because it happened and I have photos

10:15 and it was literally in public and witnessed by multiple people.

10:18 Plus there was so much more that happened in the years

10:19 leading up to her silly song that she won't want me discussing.

10:22 The psychological manipulation was strong with that one, but hey,

10:25 she wrote and signed letters of recommendation

10:27 for my US visa application in the 2000 tens.

10:29 So there's that.

10:30 So she's not interested.

10:31 She's been raped so many times,

10:33 harassed so many times, she just can't even keep track.

10:35 So she's not gonna go to the police with any of this.

10:37 However, I'm guessing that after just a few

10:39 too many of these comments of people being like,

10:41 okay, well this is really gross, if this happened,

10:43 we should try to get some accountability.

10:44 Well apparently now 20 years later,

10:47 Ruby Rose is taking it seriously and she officially went to the police.

10:50 So somebody said, so you have the balls to make

10:52 the accusations but not enough of them to file a report.

10:54 If you did, you could stop others

10:56 from potentially being victimised by her as well.

10:58 That is if it even actually happened in the first place.

11:00 And then Ruby responds and goes, just left the police station.

11:03 So it seems like all of these accusations caught up with her.

11:06 People were saying, we're not interested in this anymore.

11:08 You have like dangled the carrot in front of our faces.

11:10 Nothing has ever happened before.

11:11 And so she finally went and did it.

11:13 And that has been confirmed by the Australian police.

11:15 They are now looking into this incident from 20 years ago.

11:18 Now obviously Katie Perry probably still hungover from Coachella,

11:21 canoodling with Trudeau, she leapt into action and she denied all of this.

11:25 So her team put out a statement and they said the allegations being circulated

11:28 on social media by Ruby Rose about Katy Perry are not only categorically false,

11:32 they are dangerous reckless lies.

11:34 Ms.

11:34 Rose has a well documented history

11:36 of making serious public allegations on social

11:39 media against various individuals claims that have

11:41 been repeatedly denied by those named.

11:43 And so now at this point,

11:44 everybody is involved because obviously this is just so insane.

11:47 It is so out of left field everyone

11:49 is investigating The club owner where they were,

11:52 where this allegedly happened 20 years ago,

11:54 confirmed that yes, they were both there.

11:56 They had too much to drink, they were actually escorted out of the back.

11:59 Apparently prior to even getting to that club,

12:01 Katie and Ruby Rose had crashed a prom earlier in the evening.

12:04 And so TMZ found that footage.

12:06 People are zooming in on all their outfits in the photos of them

12:08 at the club trying to see if they could spot any of that projectile vomiting.

12:12 I mean again, this has totally taken on a life of its own.

12:15 Now I do wanna say that even though people

12:17 are not quick to believe Ruby Rose these days,

12:19 they also aren't quick to think that Katy Perry is totally innocent.

12:23 That this is something that she would not have done because videos

12:25 of her crossing boundaries throughout the years

12:28 with her fellow celebrities are now going viral.

12:30 Just take a look at this- From groping, Justin Bieber,

12:39 Sean Mendez,- Are you staying hydrated and are you carbo loading because I-

12:44 Was just touching my butt I- To flirting with an 18-year-old Bo Burnham.

12:54 Okay, I totally can't wait for this next performer.

12:58 He is funny, he's filthy and he is gotten over 20

13:01 million views on his YouTube and he is only 18 years old.

13:04 Thank God you're 18,

13:07 at least he's here to play his world premiere of his new song.

13:12 Welcome to YouTube.

13:13 Come on everybody, make some noise for Bo.

13:20 Thank you Mrs.

13:21 Perry.

13:22 That's just what we have on video.

13:23 Katie Perry's CoStar, Josh kloss on the music video Teenage Dreams spoke out

13:28 and accused Perry of exposing his privates to people at a party.

13:32 He was quoted saying she pulled my Adidas sweats and underwear out as far as she

13:36 could to show a couple of her guy friends and the crowd around us, my privates.

13:41 I went on to say, can you imagine how pathetic and embarrassed I felt?

13:44 I know Ka Perry was tweeting you too,

13:46 saying she wants to get a hold of that or something.

13:48 Yeah, I mean- It was a crazy night.

13:50 I've never been around so many Ka Perry finger banged my cleavage.

13:53 It was a weird night.

13:56 Ka Perry finger banged Anna Kendricks boobs.

13:59 Like that is the most insane statement.

14:01 But also like I'm watching all of these videos

14:03 and these tiktoks and I'm not even surprised,

14:05 like this is the woman who made a career

14:07 off of singing about kissing a girl and liking it.

14:09 Like maybe she released a song about groping Justin Bieber and we all missed it.

14:12 But like regardless,

14:13 it seems like this woman has always been a bit much like if she were a man,

14:17 she would've been cancelled long ago for this behaviour.

14:19 Like if she was a man walking up behind women, groping them on red carpets,

14:23 grabbing Justin Bieber's butt tweeting at 17-year-old saying

14:26 that she wanted to get a piece of that.

14:27 Like again she would have been cancelled however she were man in Congress,

14:31 they probably still would be protecting her.

14:34 Just saying anyway, sorry, the point here that I'm trying to make is

14:37 the number one Hollywood is very similar to DC now.

14:39 Like the two are just intermingling, but also two things can be true.

14:42 Ruby Rose is the girl who cried Wolf and Katy Perry

14:45 might be out of her mind and not know any boundaries whatsoever.

14:48 Meanwhile, because of that, you know the internet

14:50 is not rushing defend feminist astronaut Katy Perry.

14:53 They certainly aren't taking the side of the queer icon either.

14:56 Like somebody commented and said this denial was quick and strong.

14:59 Ruby has a track record of throwing out serious accusations

15:01 like this against multiple people that get denied every time.

15:04 Timing feels way off too.

15:05 20 years later, right after some viral Coachella

15:07 stuff smells like clout chasing more than anything else.

15:10 Somebody else said Ruby Rose has had public

15:12 feuds and reputation issues in the industry before.

15:14 Not saying it's impossible, but the story sounds too extreme,

15:17 almost unbelievable, to be honest.

15:19 And I just have to say this kind of common sense, this nuance I,

15:22 it's more about the nuance is so refreshing

15:24 after years and years of the Me Too movement.

15:27 And granted that was more about shaming

15:29 men than actually seeking any kind of accountability.

15:30 But for years people were accused right and left and their lives

15:34 were destroyed with little to no investigation or tact or care.

15:37 And now thanks to brave people like Johnny Depp,

15:39 who actually fought back actually four years ago,

15:41 exactly, it was when that trial took place, which is crazy.

15:43 People like Justin Maloni who continues to fight

15:45 to clear his name against Blake Lively, I think people have finally woken up.

15:50 They're looking at these stories with nuance,

15:52 they're looking at the context they are looking

15:54 at, the timeframe they're looking at when these accusations are levied.

15:57 All of that is important to consider.

15:59 So I'm sorry Ruby Rose, but you do not get to claim

16:02 that you have been harassed by every single individual

16:04 in the industry just so that you can

16:06 try to regain some relevance as your queer icon.

16:09 And yes, like Katy Perry, she might be a weirdo.

16:11 She obviously has a storied past.

16:13 She deserves to be called out for this behaviour,

16:15 especially if this disgusting thing happened.

16:17 But Ruby Rose, your track record is certainly not compelling.

16:20 And so if the internet, if the authorities in Australia do not believe you,

16:23 if the Australian authorities are not wanting to jump

16:26 into this investigation 20 years later, that's why.

16:28 So I will save you the breath.

16:29 This is not a homophobic system against you, it is just you.

16:33 So, alright, now that we have handled the Hollywood Perversions,

16:36 we can now turn our attention back to Washington DC oh Joy.

16:39 I'm sure there'll be another story for us to cover tomorrow.
