Katy Perry responds to Ruby Rose allegations

A representative for pop star Katy Perry has issued a strong response to allegations of sexual assault made by Ruby Rose. In a series of social media posts, Rose accused Perry of assaulting her at a spice market nightclub in Melbourne when she was in her twenties. The claims come from the 40-year-old Australian actress, known for her roles in the Netflix series Orange Is the New Black, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, XXX: Return of Xander Cage and John Wick: Chapter 2, as well as her role as Batwoman in the Arrowverse television series.

Ruby Rose made her allegations on Threads, following a post from Complex Music about Perry’s reaction to Justin Bieber’s recent Coachella performance. In her statements, Rose claimed she had kept the alleged assault secret for years because Perry had helped her obtain a U.S. visa. However, those claims have been strongly denied by Perry’s representative.
