Australian Authorities Investigate Ruby Rose’s Sexual Assault Accusation Against Katy Perry
Australian authorities have initiated an investigation into a sexual assault allegation made by actress Ruby Rose against singer Katy Perry. This claim is linked to a purported incident that took place in 2010 at a nightclub in Melbourne.
Investigation Details
The Victoria Police confirmed that their Melbourne Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team (SOCIT) is handling the case. The incident allegedly occurred in Melbourne’s central business district. Authorities have withheld further comments, citing the ongoing nature of the investigation.
Accusations and Denials
Ruby Rose initially shared her allegations on social media earlier this week, responding to a lighthearted article about Perry from Complex magazine. Rose claimed, “Katy Perry sexually assaulted me at spice market nightclub in Melbourne. Who gives a sh*t what she thinks.” This post has since been deleted.
In response, Katy Perry has denied the accusations. Her representative described Rose’s claims as “categorically false” and labeled them “dangerous reckless lies.” They have not commented further following the announcement of the police investigation.
Reported Developments
- Ruby Rose’s accusation dates back to a 2010 incident.
- Investigation is led by Victoria Police’s Melbourne SOCIT.
- Perry has categorically denied the allegations through her representatives.
- Rose has since decided to file a formal police report.
Initially, Rose indicated she was “not interested” in pursuing legal action but later confirmed her decision to file a report. She expressed that this step was a relief, allowing her to begin the healing process.
Context of the Allegations
The allegations emerged during a period when Katy Perry was in the public eye for her recent work, including the release of her seventh studio album “143” in 2024 and a subsequent world tour. Additionally, in April 2025, Perry was part of a space tourism mission with Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin, alongside prominent figures like Gayle King and Lauren Sanchez Bezos.
As the investigation unfolds, both parties remain tightly guarded in their communications. The outcome will likely have significant implications for both Ruby Rose and Katy Perry in the public domain.
