Katy Perry Denies Ruby Rose Sexual Assault Allegation

Katy Perry has denied former Orange Is The New Black actor Ruby Rose’s allegation that the singer once sexually assaulted her on a night out.

On Sunday, the Australian performer responded to a social media post by Complex about the California Gurls singer, commenting on Threads: “Katy Perry sexually assaulted me at Spice Market nightclub in Melbourne. Who gives a shit what she thinks?”

Rose then wrote: “She saw me ‘resting’ on my best friend’s 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.”

The Batwoman star went on to allege: “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.”

In response, a spokesperson for Perry told BuzzFeed: “The allegations being circulated on social media by Ruby Rose about Katy Perry are not only categorically false, they are dangerous, reckless lies.

“Ms. Rose has a well-documented history of making serious public allegations on social media against various individuals, claims that have repeatedly been denied by those named.”

Rose’s international breakthrough came when she was cast in the third season of Orange Is The New Black, which began streaming on Netflix in 2015.

She later went on to play the titular superhero in Batwoman, shared the screen with Keanu Reeves in the second John Wicks movie, appeared in the third instalment in the Pitch Perfect series and had a minor role in the action film The Meg.

Her other on-screen work includes co-hosting Australia’s Next Top Model and guest judging on the reality show Ink Master.

Back in 2017, Rose spoke out against Perry around the release of her single Swish Swish, perceived by many as a “diss track” in response to Taylor Swift’s song Bad Blood.
