"I Kissed a Girl" singer Katy Perry is defending her beau, Gym Class Heroes frontman Travis McCoy, who was arrested last week for third-degree assault after allegedly striking an audience member in the head with his mike.

"There are definitely two sides to every story and you always have to take [that] into account," Perry, 23, told Usmagazine.com at the taping of F'N MTV in Hollywood Thursday.

"He always learns from everything and we all learn from everything so I'm a 'stand by your man' type-of-girl," she added.

Rolling Stone reported that McCoy acted in response to the audience member calling him a "f---ing ignorant n---er."

Perry raved about McCoy, who recently gave her a ring as "a token of
his commitment and affection," she said.

"[The ring is] a nice way for him to say I love you," she explained.

The couple are on the Warp Tour together all summer.

"We have fun," Perry told Us. "We have the same personality – very humorous. We love stupid clothes, and we're so much alike. It's not important for us to go to a club and be a celebrity couple. We just chill. We listen to music."
