MELBOURNE, AU. (THECOUNT) — Actress Ruby Rose, 40, has publicly alleged that Katy Perry sexually assaulted her during an incident at a Melbourne nightclub nearly two decades ago, according to a series of posts shared on social media.
The allegation was made in responses on Threads following a post related to Perry’s reaction to a performance at the Coachella music festival. In her initial reply, Rose directly accused Perry of sexual assault, referencing an incident she claims occurred at the now-closed Spice Market nightclub in Melbourne, Australia.

In subsequent posts, Rose elaborated on the allegation, stating the incident took place when she was in her twenties. She described the experience as traumatic and indicated that it had taken her nearly 20 years to publicly speak about it.
“I’m now 40,” Rose wrote. “It has taken almost 2 decades to say this publicly. Though I am so grateful to have made it long enough to find my voice, it just shows how much of an impact trauma and sexual assault takes.”
Rose further stated that she did not feel a need for public validation but wanted to share her account. She also expressed appreciation for messages of support from individuals responding to her posts online.
In additional responses to users, Rose claimed the alleged incident occurred while she was attempting to avoid contact at the nightclub. She provided a graphic description of the encounter in replies to questions from other users. The claims have not been independently verified.
Rose, who is originally from Australia, also alleged that following the incident, Perry offered to assist her in securing a visa to the United States. No documentation or additional evidence related to that claim has been publicly presented.
She stated in her posts that she is not currently interested in filing a formal police report regarding the alleged incident. However, she indicated she would be open to addressing the matter in court if legal action were initiated by Perry.
As of this report, Perry has not publicly responded to the allegations. No statements have been released by her representatives addressing the claims made by Rose.
The Spice Market nightclub referenced in the posts was a well-known venue in Melbourne before its closure. No official records or prior reports related to the alleged incident have been cited in connection with Rose’s claims.
Allegations of this nature, particularly those involving public figures and events said to have occurred many years ago, are often difficult to substantiate without corroborating evidence or contemporaneous reporting. Authorities have not confirmed any investigation related to the claims at this time.
Neither law enforcement agencies in Melbourne nor any other jurisdiction have announced an inquiry into the matter as of this writing.
This remains a developing situation. Updates will be provided if additional verified information becomes available or if either party issues further statements.
