On April 12, 2026, Ruby Rose made serious allegations against Katy Perry, claiming that the pop star sexually assaulted her nearly two decades ago at the Spice Market nightclub in Melbourne. The incident reportedly took place in August 2010, during a night when approximately 600 people were present at the venue.
Ruby Rose, who has a history of sharing personal stories on social media, described the alleged assault in graphic detail, stating that she had “photos” and “witnesses” to support her claims. Initially, Rose expressed that she was “not interested in filing a report,” but later indicated she would contact the police to finalize her reports.
At the time of the allegations, Katy Perry was attending Coachella, and her team quickly responded, labeling the accusations as “categorically false” and “dangerous, reckless lies.” They emphasized that the claims were unfounded and dismissed them outright.
The former manager of the Spice Market nightclub confirmed that both women were indeed present at the venue that night. He noted that while both were intoxicated, they were not “paralytic” and described the atmosphere as typical for a nightclub setting. He recalled, “Katy kept coming out and dancing with everybody and going right in the middle of the mosh pit.”
As of now, no criminal charges have been filed, and it remains unclear if any law enforcement investigation has been confirmed. Ruby Rose has stated that she has finalized her reports and can no longer comment on the matter publicly.
The nightclub where the alleged incident occurred closed its doors in January 2023, adding another layer of complexity to the situation. Ruby Rose had previously shared the story of the incident but framed it as a “funny little drunk story” at the time, which raises questions about the motivations behind her recent allegations.
Details remain unconfirmed, and the public is left to navigate the unfolding narrative surrounding these serious accusations. The implications of this situation are significant for both Ruby Rose and Katy Perry, as it brings to light issues of accountability and the impact of past actions on present reputations.
