Allegations and Police Investigation
Australian actor Ruby Rose has accused pop star Katy Perry of sexually assaulting her at the Spice Market nightclub in Melbourne in 2010. Rose, now 40, made the allegations public through a series of posts on the social media platform Threads, stating, “Katy Perry sexual assaulted me at spice market nightclub in Melbourne.” Following these claims, the Victoria Police confirmed they are investigating a “historical sexual assault” that reportedly occurred at a licensed premises in Melbourne's Central Business District (CBD). The police stated that the investigation is ongoing and declined to provide further comments at this stage.
Details of the Allegation
In her posts, Rose described a graphic encounter, claiming that Perry “bent down, pulled her underwear to the side and rubbed her disgusting vagina on my face until my eyes snapped open and I projectile vomited on her.” Rose indicated that she had reframed the incident in the past as a “funny little drunk story” due to her inability to process the trauma at the time. She also mentioned that Perry had previously assisted her in obtaining a U.S. visa, which contributed to her silence about the incident for many years.
Official Responses
Perry's representatives have categorically denied Rose's allegations, labeling them as “categorically false” and “dangerous reckless lies.” They emphasized that Rose has a “well-documented history of making serious public allegations on social media against various individuals,” which have been denied by those named. Perry's team did not provide further comments regarding the ongoing investigation.
Ruby Rose's Statements
After initially expressing reluctance to file a police report, Rose confirmed that she had finalized her reports with authorities and would no longer be able to comment publicly about the case. She expressed relief at this decision, stating, “I can start the healing process now. And temporarily move forward.” Rose's posts have garnered significant attention, with some supporters praising her for speaking out, while others have questioned the timing and validity of her claims.
Criticism and Opposition
Critics of Rose's allegations have pointed to her past public statements and controversies, suggesting that her history of making serious allegations may undermine her credibility. The response from Perry's representatives has been firm, asserting that the claims are part of a pattern of behavior from Rose.
What's Next
As the investigation by the Melbourne Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team continues, both parties remain firm in their positions. The outcome of the investigation and any potential legal ramifications remain to be seen, with public interest in the case likely to persist as more information becomes available.
