She would later find success as an actor in John Wick: Chapter Two and Batwoman.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">The former club owner recalled how the evening was a &#8216;security nightmare&#8217; due to the alleged bedlam their attendance at the venue brought, on top of there being hundreds of revellers to tend to in the club.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"The Aussie actress, 40, has accused Katy Perry of sexually assaulting her nearly two decades ago (Naomi Rahim\/WireImage)\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"article-image_image__XvzgU\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldS1pbWFnZXMuY29udGVudHN0YWNrLmNvbS92My9hc3NldHMvYmx0Y2Q3NGFjYzFkMGE5OWYzYS9ibHQ4MDg1M2U3.webp\"\/>The Aussie actress, 40, has accused Katy Perry of sexually assaulting her nearly two decades ago (Naomi Rahim\/WireImage)<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">&#8220;They came in together, they were also with Katy\u2019s hair and make-up girl and another guy who was friends with Ruby,&#8221;

he claimed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">In a series of posts shared to the social media site <a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.com\/@rubyrose\">Threads<\/a>, Rose alleged that she had been &#8216;resting&#8217; on her friend&#8217;s lap in a bid to &#8216;avoid&#8217; Perry inside the club.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">She claims that despite this, the &#8216;Firework&#8217; hitmaker made a beeline for her, &#8216;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&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"(Threads\/@rubyrose)\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"article-image_image__XvzgU\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldS1pbWFnZXMuY29udGVudHN0YWNrLmNvbS92My9hc3NldHMvYmx0Y2Q3NGFjYzFkMGE5OWYzYS9ibHQ5ZGRhNzBk.webp\"\/>(Threads\/@rubyrose)<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">The <a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ladbible.com\/australia\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Australian<\/a> actress went on to claim that she has &#8216;photos&#8217; and &#8216;witnesses&#8217; to back up her version of events &#8211; although a representative for Perry vehemently denied the claims.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">&#8220;The allegations being circulated on social media by Ruby Rose about Katy Perry are not only categorically false, they are dangerous, reckless lies,&#8221; they said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">&#8220;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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">According to the former boss at the nightclub in question, the <a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ladbible.com\/celebrity\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">famous faces<\/a> spent the majority of their night in a VIP area, which was cordoned off from other clubgoers, known as the Genie Bottle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">He recalled seeing the pair &#8216;having drinks and stuff&#8217;, while noting that they were &#8216;mainly in there doing their own thing&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Perry's team described Rose's claims as 'dangerous, reckless lies' (Monica Schipper\/Getty Images)\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"article-image_image__XvzgU\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldS1pbWFnZXMuY29udGVudHN0YWNrLmNvbS92My9hc3NldHMvYmx0Y2Q3NGFjYzFkMGE5OWYzYS9ibHQ1ZmNlMTA3.webp\"\/>Perry&#8217;s team described Rose&#8217;s claims as &#8216;dangerous, reckless lies&#8217; (Monica Schipper\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">&#8220;I wasn\u2019t aware of any alleged assault, or someone vomiting,&#8221; he told the Herald Sun. &#8220;They were drunk, they weren\u2019t paralytic or anything and just like any other person drinking at a nightclub.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">The ex-manager then claimed that Rose and Perry &#8211; who is currently in a relationship with the former <a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ladbible.com\/entertainment\/celebrity\/justin-trudeau-relationship-katy-perry-crazy-celebrity-962008-20251205\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau<\/a> &#8211; both probably had &#8216;too much to drink&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">&#8220;To avoid people taking photos of them in a state, we organised a car and driver to be waiting outside the Collins St entrance of the hotel,&#8221; he alleged.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">&#8220;We escorted them out the back and up the fire exit and put them in the car together. I think from there they went on to The Peel Hotel.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"The Melbourne nightclub where Rose claims the alleged incident took place shut its doors for good in January this year (Instagram\/@spicemarket)\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"article-image_image__XvzgU\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldS1pbWFnZXMuY29udGVudHN0YWNrLmNvbS92My9hc3NldHMvYmx0Y2Q3NGFjYzFkMGE5OWYzYS9ibHQxY2IyOWYx.webp\"\/>The Melbourne nightclub where Rose claims the alleged incident took place shut its doors for good in January this year (Instagram\/@spicemarket)<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Rose initially said she is &#8216;not interested in filing a report&#8217; with the police in regards to her allegations against Perry, however, it appeared as though <a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ladbible.com\/entertainment\/celebrity\/ruby-rose-katy-perry-police-update-latest-016919-20260414\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">she later changed her mind<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">In a post shared on Threads on Monday (13 April), the Pitch Perfect 3 actress said she would be &#8216;walking into a police station to see if any of my experiences can be investigated&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">And on Tuesday (14 April), she posted what she said would be her &#8216;last update&#8217; on the situation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">&#8220;As of this afternoon, I have finalised all of my reports,&#8221; Rose wrote. &#8220;This means I am no longer able to comment, repost, or talk publicly about any of those cases, or the individuals involved.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">&#8220;It\u2019s going to look like I am ignoring everything from supportive messages, to other people\u2019s experiences, but I\u2019m not. This is a standard request from the police and in many ways, quite the relief.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">&#8220;I can start the healing process now. And temporary move forward.
