Katy Perry is reportedly under investigation by Australian police following shocking allegations made by Ruby Rose. Page Six reported the update just days after Ruby’s claims went viral. Rose accused the ‘I Kissed A Girl’ singer of rubbing her bare vulva on Rose’s face inside a nightclub in 2010. While Rose claimed to have evidence and witnesses, Perry’s rep has called the claims false.

What Did Ruby Rose Accuse Katy Perry Of Doing?
Ruby Rose launched her sexual assault claims against Katy Perry on Sunday. First, she replied to a Complex article which highlighted Katy Perry’s reaction to Justin Bieber’s Coachella performance. Rose replied, “Katy Perry [sexually] assaulted me at Spice Market nightclub in Melbourne. Who gives a sh*t what she thinks.” In another post, the ‘Orange Is The New Black’ actress revealed she was in her early 20s when the incident happened.
“I’m now 40. It has taken almost 2 decades to say this publicly,” Ruby Rose wrote on Threads. “Though I am grateful to have made it long enough to find my voice, it just shows how much of an impact trauma and sexual assault takes. Thank you for seeing me.”
Another reply, per PEOPLE, said that Katy Perry saw Ruby Rose resting her head on her friend’s lap in the nightclub “to avoid her,” then suddenly the singer, “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 actress continued to reveal details as fans asked questions about the incident. She confirmed she didn’t file a report at the time. However, she welcomed a lawsuit from Katy Perry , doubting it would actually happen. “She won’t, because it happened, I have photos and it was literally in public and witnessed by multiple people. Plus there is so much more that happened in the years leading up to her silly song she won’t want me discussing. The psychological manipulation is strong with that one.”
Ruby Rose said she turned the nightclub incident into a “funny little drunk story” while telling it publicly because she “didn’t know how else to handle it.” Also, Perry later allegedly agreed to Rose secure her US visa, and Rose kept what happened “a secret.”
Katy Perry’s Rep Slams “Dangerous” Allegations
On Monday (April 13), a rep for Katy Perry shut down the sexual misconduct allegations. The rep also called out Ruby Rose, claiming she has a history of making baseless accusations.
“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,” the rep reportedly said, per PEOPLE.
Melbourne Police Involved Amid Sexual Assault Allegations
On Tuesday (April 14), Ruby Rose circled back to Threads to double down on her sexual assault allegations against Katy Perry. She had followed through on a previous post about taking the matter to the police, and her Tuesday post served as a “last update.”
“As of this afternoon, I have finalized all of my reports. This means I am no longer able to comment, repost, or talk publicly about any of those cases, or the individuals involved. It’s going to look like I am ignoring everything from supportive messages, to other people’s experiences, but I’m not,” Ruby Rose wrote on Threads. “This is a standard request from the police and in many ways, quite the relief. I can start the healing process now. And temporary move forward. I love you all so much.”
That same day, the Acting Sergeant of Victoria Police, Paul Hogan, gave a statement to Page Six on the matter. Hogan confirmed an investigation is underway.
“Melbourne Sexual Offenses and Child Abuse Investigation Team detectives are investigating a historical sexual assault that occurred in Melbourne in 2010,” Hogan said. “Police have been told the incident occurred at a licensed premises in Melbourne’s Central Business District.”
Katy Perry has spoken out against Ruby Rose’s claims aside from her rep’s statement. However, also on Tuesday, she reportedly shared her 2013 song, ‘By The Grace of God’, on Instagram Stories with the message, “I love you.”
