In the middle of actress Ruby Rose's allegations that she was assaulted by the singer, Katy Perry's very uncomfortable American Idol kissing scandal recently resurfaced, as confirmed by local media outlets.
Contestant Benjamin Glaze showed up on Season 16 of this show in 2018, where the star was seen planting a smooch on the young man after he mentioned that he was waiting for this type of intimacy until he found a meaningful relationship.

Fellow judge Luke Bryan mentioned: 'Have you kissed a girl and liked it?' and this was a clear reference to the 2008 breakthrough hit, 'I kissed a girl!'
"No, I have never been in a relationship," the 19-year-old amateur singer and guitarist replied. This was the point where the singer replied in shock and mentioned 'Really!' "I cannot kiss the girl without being in a relationship'- Glaze mentioned to Perry as his audition was about to get underway.

"Come here, come in right now!" Perry demanded, and that's when Glaze came over, and she intimately kissed him. When he first gave her a peck, she was not happy and instead showed him how to actually do it, leaving people stunned.
