An accusation that comes two decades later
Ruby Rose used Threads to talk about an alleged sexual assault she suffered almost 20 years ago. The Australian actress claims that it was Katy Perry, who was her friend at the time, the author.
It all started with a comment about Perry’s presence at Coachella with Justin Trudeau. From there, he began to recount a traumatic experience from 2006.
From ‘funny anecdote’ to recognized trauma
Rose confessed that for years she told what happened as a simple drunken story. Time made him see the true nature of the event.
“Katy Perry sexually assaulted me at the ‘Spice Market’ nightclub in Melbourne. I was in my early 20s, now I’m 40. It has taken me almost two decades to say it publicly.”
He explained that he continued to associate with Perry after the incident because the singer offered him help in obtaining an American visa. “So I kept it a secret,” he admitted.
The description of the moment is graphic and disturbing. Responding to a follower who joked about the lyrics of I Kissed a Girl, Rose detailed:
“She didn’t kiss me. She bent over, pulled aside her underwear, and rubbed her disgusting vagina in my face until my eyes flew open and I vomited buckets all over her.”
Without complaint, but without fear
The actress made it clear that she does not plan to file a formal complaint. Nor is he afraid of a possible defamation lawsuit.
“You can sue me if you want (you won’t, because it happened, I have pictures, and it was literally in public).”
He claims to have evidence and witnesses. He also hinted that there are “a lot of things leading up to his stupid song” that Perry wouldn’t want mentioned.
Perry’s team’s categorical refusal
Katy Perry’s rep quickly responded to the allegations when contacted by TMZ. He denied it completely.
“The accusations that Ruby Rose spreads on social media about Katy Perry are not only categorically false, they are dangerous and reckless lies.”
They also argued that this is not the first time that Rose has used her networks to defame other public figures. The case now remains in the court of public opinion, two decades later.
