Ruby Rose has shed light on a night she says changed the course of her life.
In a resurfaced 2011 essay written for Australian media outlet news.com.au, the actress and model described a drunken night out with Katy Perry that she now claims was the night of a sexual assault.
“I had been 30 days without grog — my first attempt at sobriety — and I was partying with Katy,” Rose recalled in the article.
“What I remember thinking was, ‘I’m going to have a drink tonight, I deserve one. I mean, what’s the worst that could happen?'” she wrote.
She admitted she relapsed that night, consuming “not one drink, not 10,” before vomiting on Perry’s foot.
Rose described the incident as a turning point, saying: “The short answer: I threw up on Katy Perry.
And that’s one of the reasons why I haven’t had a hot toddy in almost 90 days.
She emphasized that “nothing horrible happened” and that she did not face a DUI.
At the time, she described the incident as a “funny little drunken story” that inspired her to recommit to sobriety.
But in recent posts on Threads, Rose alleged that Perry sexually assaulted her at Melbourne nightclub Spice Market.
“She didn’t kiss me. She saw me resting on my best friend’s lap to avoid her and leaned over, pulled her cock to the side and rubbed her disgusting pussy on my face until my eyes snapped open and I projectile vomited all over her,” Rose claimed.
She added that she kept the story a secret for years, even though Perry later helped her obtain a U.S. visa.
Perry’s representatives have strongly denied the accusations, calling them “categorically false” and “dangerous and reckless lies.”
They highlighted the fact that Rose had made public allegations against various people, all of which were denied.
Australian authorities have since confirmed they are investigating a “historic sexual assault” that allegedly took place in Melbourne in 2010.
Acting Sergeant Paul Hogan of Victoria Police said detectives from the Sexual Offenses and Child Abuse Investigation Team were looking into the allegations.
A former manager of the club also spoke out, saying the two women had “drank too much” that evening and insisting he had not witnessed any assault or vomiting.
For Rose, the essay resurfaced and her recent posts highlight how long it took for her to speak openly.
“While I am so grateful to have found my voice, it shows how impactful trauma and sexual assault are,” she wrote.
