Katy Perry’s representative denied Ruby Rose’s sexual assault allegations, calling them “categorically false” and “dangerous reckless lies”. The response came after Rose accused Perry on social media of an incident she said happened nearly 20 years ago at Spice Market nightclub in Melbourne.

What the allegation said

Rose claimed the encounter happened when she was in her early 20s and later said it took almost two decades to speak publicly about it. In the posts, she described the alleged assault in graphic terms and said she had told the story before in a softer way because she did not know how else to handle it.

Perry’s response

Perry’s camp said the claims are not only false but also irresponsible, and pointed to what it described as a history of Rose making serious public accusations that were denied by the people named. The dispute erupted in the middle of broader online chatter around Perry’s Coachella reaction to Justin Bieber’s set.
