Ruby Rose Accuses Katy Perry of Sexual Assault (Trigger Warning)

On Sunday, April 12, in response to a Threads post about Katy Perry's reaction to Justin Bieber's Coachella set, Ruby Rose alleged, "Katy Perry sexual assaulted me at spice market nightclub in Melbourne. Who gives a s**t what she thinks. I was only in my early 20s. I’m now 40. It has taken almost 2 decades to say this publicly … 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.”

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ruby Rose was replying to a separate Threads user who quipped, "She kissed a girl and you didn’t like it?,” referring to Katy Perry's song "I Kissed a Girl". Ruby Rose Slams Sydney Sweeney Over ‘Christy’ Box Office Flop, Reveals She Was Originally Cast as Boxer Christy Martin.

Ruby Rose gave a graphic account of what happened that night with her in Melbourne. She wrote in her reply to the comment: “She didn’t kiss me. She saw me “resting” on my best friends lap to avoid her and 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 … not interested in filing a [police] report over this, not when I haven’t even filed a report for the numerous rapes at the hands of grown men. But she is more than welcome to sue me (she won’t, because it happened, I have photos and it was literally in public and witnessed by multiple people). Plus there is so much more that happened in the years leading up to her silly song she won’t want me discussing. The psychological manipulation was strong with that one.” Ruby Rose further wrote, “Just left the police station,” implying that she had possibly filed a police complaint.
