Ruby Rose‘s allegations of sexual assault by Katy Perry are “categorically false” and “dangerous reckless lies”, a representative for the singer has said.
Orange is the New Black star Rose, 40, claimed on Threads that Perry, 41, “sexually assaulted” her in a nightclub in Melbourne almost 20 years ago.
When someone responded light-heartedly referencing Perry’s song ‘I Kissed a Girl’, Rose told them: “She didn’t kiss me. She saw me ‘resting’ on my best friends lap to avoid her and 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.”
Now, a representative for Perry has responded, providing a statement to PinkNews.
It reads: “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.”
Rose has responded to multiple posts on Threads about the statement from Perry’s camp.
In one, she said: “Well-documented history of what now? I have never, ever, made serious public allegations on social media like this.”
PinkNews has contacted a representative for Ruby Rose for comment.
Rose claimed on Threads that she told people about the alleged incident “but changed it to be a ‘funny little drunk story’ because [she] didn’t know how else to handle it”.
She added: “Later she agreed to help me get my US visa. So I kept it a secret. But I did tell y’all she wasn’t a good person.”
Rose continued: “You don’t need people to believe you, you just need to get it out of your poor body, before it gives you cancer.”
The social media situation started after Complex posted about Perry’s reaction to Justin Bieber’s Coachella set.
