New details about what transpired the night Katy Perry allegedly assaulted Ruby Rose have been revealed.
The famous duo became the latest celebrities to be embroiled in an assault scandal after the “Orange Is the New Black” actress accused the singer of unsolicited sexual contact.
The drama began this week when Ruby Rose dropped her allegations on Threads, claiming the incident with Katy Perry happened more than a decade ago. Now, someone who was there has shared his side of the story.
Katy Perry And Ruby Rose Reportedly ‘Had Way Too Much To Drink’
The former manager of the since-closed Spice Market nightclub in Melbourne, Australia, recently addressed the assault allegations in an interview. He explained that he had been working at the club at the time of the alleged incident between Rose and Perry.
The source stressed that he did not witness the alleged incident in person, claiming he did not see any signs of conflict between the women, nor did he hear of one. He also seemingly shut down part of Rose’s claims about the alleged assault.
The actress had noted she vomited after Perry assaulted her, but the former club manager told the Herald Sun that he knew nothing of anyone throwing up that night. He confirmed that both Perry and Rose had been at the establishment, and they both “had way too much to drink.”
The ‘Roar’ Hitmaker Is Under Police Investigation Over The Allegations
The source added that Perry and Rose had left the establishment on good terms despite being heavily intoxicated. His words followed recent reports of the police’s involvement in the ongoing situation. The Blast covered the story, reporting that Perry was now under investigation.
Melbourne’s Sexual Offenses and Child Abuse Investigation Team (SOCIT) detectives were on the case, investigating what happened between Perry and Rose in 2010. The statement confirming the open investigation stressed that further comments would not be appropriate.
The statement matched Rose’s stance on the matter, as she posted a statement on Threads about her silence. She explained that she could no longer comment on her assault allegations due to police involvement and reassured fans that she was aware of their support.
The Actress Feels Like The Weight Is Off Her Shoulders
The Blast shared that Rose was full of gratitude in her statement, explaining that dropping the allegations and having the police investigate the case was “quite the relief.” She claimed the alleged incident had weighed on her mind and heart for too long, adding:
“I can start the healing process now. And temporarily move forward.”
Rose concluded her statement with her love for fans, who echoed similar sentiments of affection and support. She initially sparked mixed reactions when she dropped her allegations against Perry on Threads after seeing a post about her Coachella appearance.
The Singer Was Accused Of Unsolicited Sexual Contact
Rose addressed the alleged assault incident underneath a post about Perry and Justin Bieber. The singer had joked about Bieber’s livestream being on YouTube Premium because she did not want any ads, but something about the statement triggered Rose.
The TV personality fired back that no one should care about Perry’s thoughts because she once assaulted her at the Spice Market nightclub in Melbourne. When someone asked if Perry had kissed her and she didn’t like it, referencing the singer’s hit song, Rose detailed a horrific incident.
Rose claimed she had been resting on a friend’s lap when Perry approached her, bent down, pulled her underwear to the side, and “rubbed her disgusting v-gina” on Rose’s face. “My eyes snapped open, and I projectile vomited on her,” she recalled, per The Blast.
Katy Perry Vehemently Denies Assaulting Ruby Rose
Rose claimed she stayed silent about the alleged assault because Perry had agreed to help her get a US visa. She also shut down claims of her actions stemming from hate or falsehood, declaring that Perry was free to sue her for defamation if her allegations weren’t true.
The Blast reported that Perry finally addressed the assault allegations through her representative. The spokesperson argued that Rose’s claims were “not only categorically false,” but they were also “dangerous, reckless lies” that showcased her past behavior of attacking others.
“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,” the rep added. The case remains ongoing.
