According to the Daily Mail, Rose, who spent several years residing in America, discussed the challenges she faced while living in the country. One of the hardest things she revealed about life in the U.S. was its "draining and toxic" attitude towards the gay and trans community.

In a recent interview with Stellar Magazine, Rose admitted, "I don't know that I have the emotional bandwidth and energy to withstand another year of living in the States with that anger and that oppression and what they're doing to the gay community and the trans community – it has become so exhausting."

The 37-year-old actress opened up to her mother about being a lesbian before her teenage years. Over the years, her sexual identity has evolved as she now identifies as being gender-fluid.

When asked about the most surprising change she noticed in Australia and what's been fascinating since her return, Rose highlighted the country's remarkable progress in the use of technology to get things done.

"I'm in awe of how technologically savvy everyone is," she exclaimed, explaining she used a QR code to pick up prescription medication. "No one in the United States is doing that."

The "Pitch Perfect 3" actress has undeniably made a powerful impact on the Hollywood scene with her remarkable rise to stardom from her early days as a model, DJ, and TV presenter for MTV Australia.

From her breakthrough role in "Orange Is the New Black" to becoming the first openly gay lead in a superhero series as "Batwoman," Rose has consistently defied conventions, pushing boundaries and breaking stereotypes. By portraying Batwoman, a strong and fearless LGBTQ+ superhero, she shattered barriers and brought much-needed representation to the screen.

Elsewhere in her candid interview with Stellar magazine, Rose expressed regret over her past actions involving her former girlfriend, Jessica Origliasso, of the pop duo The Veronicas. The actress admitted that threatening to expose details of the sisters on social media was a "terrible idea" and reflected on the tumultuous nature of their romance.

Rose and Jessica were in a relationship between 2016 and 2018, where they garnered significant attention during their time together. However, their love story took an unfortunate turn, leaving both parties hurt and emotionally scarred, with Rose threatening to expose "the sisters" for "how horrific" they allegedly were to her.

"It was a terrible idea. That wasn't a wise or healthy or happy thing to do," the DJ admitted. "I was doing too much. I was trying to write the book as well as doing a very serious film and it was so heavy."

However, Rose noted that she may still go on with writing about The Veronicas in her upcoming memoir.

"I still strongly feel that I have to write this book and it has to come out soon. I feel like maybe it'll be very healing for me," Rose said.

According to The Guardian, Rose recently shared her experience of working on a revised version of her memoir, describing it as a journey of self-discovery. Rose, known for her candidness and openness, revealed that revisiting her life story for the new edition has allowed her to delve deeper into her personal journey, reflecting on her past and gaining new insights along the way.

"I'm glad I didn't release the one back then – I cringe at some of it," she said. "I've had ups, I've had downs – I've lived very publicly and not always been the best representation of myself."

Her memoir, which she hopes "could help people, and I think it might be good to get it out of myself," offers readers a glimpse into her life, including her struggles with gender identity, mental health, and her rise to fame in the entertainment industry. However, she felt compelled to revisit her story and provide an updated perspective on her experiences.
