Per Page Six, Perry claimed Diaz was “immediately stoned” when arriving to their date, which was a group dinner, and she “wasn’t interested in [him] at all.”
Perry wrote that he said “something witty” to Diaz during a game of Pictionary, and she “accidentally” hit him in the face when aiming for his shoulder.
