Ruby Rose wrote in a 2011 essay about the night Katy Perry allegedly sexually assaulted her.
An article written for Australian news outlet news.com.au has resurfaced in which she wrote about her journey to sobriety and detailed a drunken night out with a pop star.
“I had been sober for 30 days, my first attempt at sobriety, and I was out partying with Katie,” Rose wrote at the time.
“What I remember thinking was, ‘I’m going to drink tonight. Of course I should. I mean, what’s the worst that can happen?'” Well, not stopping at one drink or 10, and then vomiting on Katie’s feet was the answer. ”
Rose also wrote in her essay that a night out with Perry inspired her to quit drinking.
“Long story short, I threw up on Katy Perry. That’s one of the reasons I’ve been off Grogu for about 90 days,” she wrote.
“Before you jump to conclusions, nothing terrible happened and I didn’t get a drunk driver. But I had enough. This was one of the best decisions of my life.”
Page Six has reached out to representatives for Perry and Rose for comment, but Perry has vehemently denied Rose’s accusations.
The model accused the singer of sexual assault in a series of posts in a thread on Sunday, saying the alleged incident happened at a nightclub in Melbourne, Australia, when she was in her 20s.
“I was sexually assaulted by Katy Perry at the Spice Market nightclub in Melbourne. Who knows what she would think,” Rose claimed in response to Complex Music’s post about Perry, 41, reacting to Justin Bieber’s 2026 Coachella performance.
“She didn’t kiss me. She saw me ‘resting’ on my best friend’s lap to avoid her, then bent over and rubbed her disgusting vagina in my face until my eyes snapped open. And I spat projectiles at her,” she claimed about Perry in a subsequent threaded message.
“After I threw up on her, I told the story publicly, but I didn’t know how else to deal with it, so I turned it into a ‘drunk funny story.’ She then agreed to help me get a US visa, so I kept it a secret. But I told her she wasn’t a nice person,” Rose claimed.
In another message on the thread, Rose said it took her “almost 20 years” to make the accusations public.
“I’m so grateful that I took the time to find my voice, but this shows how impactful trauma and sexual assault can be. Thank you for meeting me,” she said.
Perry’s rep denied Rose’s claims in a statement to Page Six.
“The claims Ruby Rose has spread on social media about Katy Perry are not only completely false, they are dangerous and reckless lies,” her representative said.
“Ms. Rose has a well-documented history of making serious allegations on social media against various individuals, allegations that have been repeatedly denied by those named,” the statement continued.
On Tuesday, Page Six reported that Perry was being investigated by Australian authorities in the case after Rose posted in a thread that she had “finished all reports” about Perry that day.
“Detectives from the Melbourne Sexual Offenses and Child Abuse Investigation Team are investigating a historic sexual assault that took place in Melbourne in 2010,” Victoria Police Acting Sergeant Paul Hogan said in a statement to Page Six on Tuesday.
“Police have heard that the incident took place at a licensed premises in Melbourne’s CBD.”
Since Rose’s bombshell, a former Spice Market club manager has spoken out about the incident, claiming that both women had “too much to drink” on the night of the alleged assault.
The former manager also addressed Rose’s claim that Perry vomited when he allegedly assaulted her, claiming he did not see the sexual assault taking place or vomiting.
