Model and actress Ruby Rose has accused singer Katy Perry of sexually assaulting her almost twenty years ago. She made the allegation through a series of posts on the social media platform Threads.
Rose, known for her role in Orange Is the New Black, stated the incident occurred at a nightclub in Melbourne when she was in her early twenties. She revealed that she had carried the emotional burden privately for nearly two decades before deciding to speak out publicly.
In her posts, Rose described the lasting emotional impact of the experience and expressed relief at finally acknowledging it openly. She framed this revelation as part of a prolonged personal struggle with trauma.
Responding to supportive messages from followers, Rose shared that disclosing the allegation brought a difficult but significant emotional release. She emphasized how long it took her to reach a point where she felt able to share her story.
In a significant development, Rose indicated her intention to approach authorities to explore the possibility of formally reporting or investigating the incident, despite potential legal limitations due to the passage of time. She expressed a strong sense of obligation to pursue this step regardless.
Rose also noted her previous hesitation to report such incidents, citing a lack of confidence in the effectiveness of systems designed to handle these cases and concerns about achieving meaningful outcomes.
Later, she confirmed that she had filed a report and was surprised by how straightforward the process felt. Rose suggested she might provide further details about the reporting experience and the handling of cases involving events from many years ago.
Neither Rose’s nor Katy Perry’s representatives have issued public statements regarding the allegation. This development adds to a broader pattern of controversies surrounding Perry, who has faced other allegations of inappropriate conduct in media reports, which she has not publicly addressed in detail.
