Ruby Rose has accused Katy Perry of sexually assaulting her at the Spice Market nightclub in Melbourne nearly 20 years ago. The allegations, made public on the Instagram Threads app, have ignited a significant controversy, with Perry’s team categorically denying the claims as “dangerous, reckless lies.”
The alleged incident reportedly took place in August 2010 when Ruby Rose was in her early twenties. Rose, now 40, stated that she had previously downplayed the incident as a “funny little drunk story” but felt compelled to speak out after years of silence. She claimed that her silence was influenced by the fact that Katy Perry had assisted her in obtaining a U.S. visa.
A former manager at the Spice Market nightclub described the night as a “security nightmare” due to the crowd size, which was around 600 people, and the high profile of Katy Perry. While the manager noted that both women were heavily intoxicated, they did not witness any incident.
Ruby Rose’s allegations have not led to any legal charges as of now, although she reported that she filed a police report against Perry. The incident has been widely documented in Australian media, with reports confirming both women were present at the nightclub on that night.
Ruby Rose stated, “Katy Perry sexually assaulted me at Spice Market nightclub in Melbourne. Who gives a sh!t what she thinks.” In response, a representative for Katy Perry said, “The allegations being circulated on social media by Ruby Rose about Katy Perry are not only categorically false, but they are also dangerous, reckless lies.”
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the police report filed by Ruby Rose, and no formal findings have been made concerning the allegations. As the situation develops, further information may emerge regarding the claims and the responses from both parties involved.
