Watch: Katy Perry’s Rep Denies Ruby Rose’s “Categorically False” Sexual Assault Allegation
Content warning: This story discusses sexual assault.
Katy Perry‘s team is responding to Ruby Rose‘s allegations.
After the Orange is the New Black alum accused the “Roar” singer of sexually assaulting her, Perry’s rep denied the claim.
“The allegations being circulated on social media by Ruby Rose about Katy Perry are not only categorically false,” a representative for Perry told E! News April 13, “they are dangerous reckless lies.”
“Ms. Rose has a well-documented history of making serious public allegations on social media against various individuals,” the statement continued, “claims that have repeatedly been denied by those named.”
E! News has reached out to Rose’s team for comment and has not yet heard back.
Rose made the claim after seeing a post about Perry’s reaction to Justin Bieber’s Coachella set April 11. In the clip, Perry joked about being happy the “Baby” singer had YouTube premium so the crowd wouldn’t have to watch ads during his internet-centered performance.
“Katy Perry sexual assaulted me at spice market nightclub in Melbourne,” Rose, 40, wrote on Threads in response to the video. “Who gives a s–t what she thinks.”
While Rose went on to share that she wasn’t interested in filing a police report over the alleged incident, or any other sexual crimes that she’s experienced over the years, she later decided to seek legal action against Perry, 41, and other unnamed perpetrators.

“Today I will be walking into a police station to see if any of my experiences can be investigated,” Rose wrote on Threads April 13. “I imagine they are past their statute of limitations, but all the more reason to try. I have a long list, it will probably take more out of me than I’m prepared for, but I will come back here to update others on the process, as soon as I am ready.”
Hours later, Rose posted, “I did it.”
The John Wick actress has been vocal about alleged experiences she’s faced over the years. Most notably, Rose came forward with multiple accusations regarding unsafe working conditions on the set of CW’s Batwoman in 2021, citing such conditions as her reason for exiting the series after one season.
In response, Warner Bros TV claimed that Rose was terminated because of her behavior.

“Despite the revisionist history that Ruby Rose is now sharing online aimed at the producers, the cast and crew, the network, and the Studio,” the network said in an official statement at the time, “the truth is that Warner Bros. Television had decided not to exercise its option to engage Ruby for season two of BATWOMAN based on multiple complaints about workplace behavior that were extensively reviewed and handled privately out of respect for all concerned.”
Meanwhile, Rose’s ex Jessica Origliasso previously accused the Dirty Angels actress of harassment in 2018 after she left a comment under The Veronicas singer’s post with her new partner.
“@rubyrose I have requested you not contact me for over 4 months now,” she replied. “You have been given my grace of being ignored on every other private platform, so the fact you continue to ignore this to contact me here publicly under the guise of wishing me well, is continued harassment.”
