In a series of explosive posts on Threads, Australian actress Ruby Rose claimed Perry sexually assaulted her at a nightclub in Melbourne nearly two decades ago, when the Around the Block star was in her early 20s.
“She saw me ‘resting’ on my best friend’s lap to avoid her and bent down, pulled her underwear to the side and rubbed her disgusting v—– on my face until my eyes snapped open and I projectile vomited on her,” she recalled. “I told the story publicly but changed it to be a ‘funny little drunk story’ because I didn’t know how else to handle it. Later, she agreed to help me get my US visa. So I kept it a secret. But I DID tell yall she wasn’t a good person. Instead, I got attacked by… everyone.”
She filed a police report, which prompted detectives from the Melbourne Sexual Offenses and Child Abuse Investigation Team to launch a probe into “a historical sexual assault” that occurred “at a licensed premises in Melbourne’s Central Business District.”
A representative for Perry responded to the claims in a statement to an outlet on April 13.
“The allegations being circulated on social media by Ruby Rose about Katy Perry are not only categorically false, they are dangerous reckless lies,” said the spokesperson. “Ms. Rose has a well-documented history of making serious public allegations on social media against various individuals, claims that have repeatedly been denied by those named.”
