Katy Perry is suing an Australian magazine company for a reported six figures in damages after one of its gossip titles claimed she cheated on new hubby Russell Brand.
The pop star filed the claim against ACP Magazines on Wednesday, which owns Aussie gossip rag NW, after it published a story last month saying Perry had an "intimate relationship" with her record producer Benny Blanco, Australian newspaper the Herald-Sun reported.
Blanco, who mixed the singer's hit "California Girls," has also worked with Ke$ha, Britney Spears and Justin Bieber.
"By reason of the publication of the article, the plaintiff [Perry] has been gravely injured in her reputation and feelings [and] has suffered distress, embarrassment and humiliation," the suit claims, according to the report.
Perry and Brand were married in India last October.
Despite the lawsuit, the "Teenage Dream" singer is set to perform at "The Logies" ? the Australian television industry awards show ? even though it is partially sponsored by ACP.
The magazine company decline comment, telling the Telegraph it had not been served with any court documents.
