  "textContent": "\n\n\nAustralian authorities have launched an investigation into allegations pop star Katy Perry sexually assaulted actress Ruby Rose at a Melbourne venue fifteen years ago.\n\nThe claims were strongly denied by Katy Perry's representatives, who described them as \"dangerous, reckless, lies\" and \"categorically false\".\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nVictoria Police confirmed on Wednesday detectives from the Melbourne Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team are examining claims of a historical sexual assault that reportedly occurred in 2010.\n\nA police spokesman stated officers had been informed the alleged incident took place at licensed premises in Melbourne's central business district.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\"As the investigation remains ongoing, it would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage,\" the spokesman added.\n\nMs Rose, best known for her role in Orange Is the New Black, indicated on Tuesday she had completed filing her reports with authorities and would therefore be unable to discuss the matter publicly while the inquiry proceeds.\n\nThe 40-year-old Australian actress first made her claims public on Sunday in a series of posts on Threads, alleging Ms Perry assaulted her at the Spice Market nightclub in Melbourne when she was in her early twenties.\n\nMs Rose provided graphic details of the alleged encounter, writing: \"(Katy) didn't kiss me. She saw me 'resting' on my best friend's lap to avoid her and bent down, pulled her underwear to the side and rubbed her disgusting v****a on my face until my eyes snapped open and I projectile vomited on her.\"\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe Batwoman star explained she had previously recounted the story publicly but reframed it as a \"funny little drunk story\" because she was uncertain how to process what had happened.\n\nMs Rose claimed she subsequently kept quiet because the I Kissed a Girl singer helped her obtain a US visa.\n\nThe 41-year-old singer has firmly rejected Ms Rose's accusations through her representatives.\n\n\"The allegations being circulated on social media by Ruby Rose about Katy Perry are not only categorically false, they are dangerous reckless lies,\" Ms Perry's spokesman told Variety.\n\n### LATEST DEVELOPMENTS\n\n\n\n\n  * Ruby Rose accuses Katy Perry of sexual assault as singer issues categorical denial\n  * Royal Ballet boss thanks Timothée Chalamet after ‘no-one cares’ comment sparks sales: 'Cheers Timmy'\n  * Shirley Ballas exposes ex’s ‘unforgivable’ actions as she swears off love: 'No dates!'\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe statement went on to allege: \"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.\"\n\nSources close to Ms Perry have suggested the singer was blindsided by the accusations.\n\nAccording to The Sun, the pair have \"a complicated backstory\" and have \"never really been friends,\" with the allegations coming \"as a massive shock to everyone\".\n\nMs Rose's initial claims emerged in response to Ms Perry's comments about Justin Bieber's Coachella performance last Saturday.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nMs Perry and her partner, former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, made waves at the 2026 California music festival.\n\n****The couple, who have been romantically linked since mid-2025 and went \"Instagram official\" in December.\n\nThe controversy surrounding Ms Perry has intensified following the re-emergence of a 2014 television interview featuring Anna Kendrick.\n\nDuring an appearance on Conan O'Brien's talk show, the Pitch Perfect actress alleged Ms Perry had inappropriately touched her cleavage at that year's Grammy Awards ceremony.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nDescribing the encounter, Ms Kendrick remarked sarcastically: \"She's very mature.\"\n\nWhen Mr O'Brien enquired whether Ms Perry simply behaves that way, Ms Kendrick responded that her revealing dress that evening meant she was \"kind of asking for it\".\n\nThe 40-year-old actress added: \"If nobody had done it, I would've been a little sad.\"\n\nThe clip began circulating widely on social media in the days following Ms Rose's allegations against the Firework singer.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
