Australian actress Ruby Rose has publicly accused pop star Katy Perry of sexual assault, alleging the incident took place nearly two decades ago at a Melbourne nightclub. Perry has strongly denied the claim, calling it false and reckless.
The allegation surfaced on social media, where Rose responded to a post about Perry’s recent public appearance. In her comment, Rose claimed the incident occurred at a nightclub in Melbourne when she was in her early 20s.
Allegations Shared on Social Media
Rose went on to describe the alleged incident in detail across multiple posts, stating that she had kept the story private for years. She said she initially reframed it publicly as a humorous anecdote, as she struggled to process the experience at the time.
According to her posts, it took nearly two decades to speak openly about the allegation. She also suggested that career-related factors may have influenced her decision to remain silent in the past.
Perry’s Team Rejects Claims
A representative for Perry responded quickly, issuing a firm denial. The statement described the allegations as “categorically false” and warned against the spread of what they called harmful misinformation.
The response also pointed to what the representative described as a pattern of unverified public accusations, asserting that such claims had been denied previously by those involved.
Legal Step Underway
In a follow-up post, Rose indicated that she had approached authorities regarding the matter, stating she had visited a police station. However, no official confirmation or details of a formal complaint have been released so far.
Efforts to reach Rose’s representatives for additional comment have not yet received a response.
A Sensitive and Complex Situation
The situation has quickly drawn attention online, with public reactions divided. As with many cases involving historical allegations, the matter raises broader questions around timing, evidence, and the role of social media in amplifying claims.
Both individuals remain prominent public figures, and the development continues to unfold without independent verification of the allegation.
