A new chapter has unfolded in a growing controversy involving Katy Perry and Ruby Rose, as authorities in Australia confirm an active investigation tied to claims dating back years.
The situation has quickly escalated from social media accusations to a formal police matter, drawing global attention and raising serious questions about what comes next.
Katy Perry Under Investigation By Australian Authorities
The situation surrounding Katy Perry took a significant turn after officials confirmed that law enforcement is now involved.
Authorities in Australia have acknowledged they are examining an alleged incident said to have occurred more than a decade ago.
According to a statement provided to The Hollywood Reporter, Victoria Police said, “Melbourne Sexual Offenses and Child Abuse Investigation Team (SOCIT) detectives are investigating [an alleged] historical sexual assault that occurred in Melbourne in 2010.”
The statement continued, “Police have been told the incident occurred at a licensed premises in Melbourne’s [Central Business District]. As the investigation remains ongoing, it would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage.”
The confirmation has intensified scrutiny around the allegations, marking a shift from public claims to a formal investigative process.
Ruby Rose Steps Back After Filing Case Against Katy Perry
As the investigation moves forward, Katy Perry remains at the center of claims first raised publicly by Ruby Rose.
However, Rose has now made it clear that she will no longer discuss the matter openly.
In a statement shared on Threads, she explained her decision, writing, “Hi! Last update on this: As of this afternoon, I have finalized all of my reports.”
She added, “This means I am no longer able to comment, repost, or talk publicly about any of those cases, or the individuals involved.”
The actress acknowledged that her silence could be misinterpreted but insisted that was not the case.
“It’s going to look like I am ignoring everything from supportive messages, to other people’s experiences, but I’m not,” she continued.
Her decision signaled a shift toward letting the legal process unfold without further public commentary.
Ruby Rose Describes Emotional Impact Of Reporting
For Ruby Rose, taking the step to involve the police has been both significant and emotional.
After years of carrying the experience privately, she described the process as a turning point.
“This is a standard request from the police and in many ways, quite the relief,” she shared.
The 40-year-old also indicated that filing the report has helped her begin to move forward.
“I can start the healing process now. And temporary move forward,” she wrote.
Before stepping away from public discussion, Rose also expressed appreciation for those who supported her.
“I love you all so much,” the star noted.
Allegations Detail Past Encounter In Melbourne
The controversy stems from claims Ruby Rose says date back nearly two decades.
Earlier this week, she revealed that she had recently contacted authorities about the alleged incident, stating she had “just left the police station.”
In a separate post, Rose reflected on why she chose to speak out now, explaining, “I was only in my early 20s. I’m now 40. It has taken almost 2 decades to say this publicly … I told the story publicly but changed it to be a ‘funny little drunk story’ because I didn’t know how else to handle it. Later she agreed to help me get my US visa. So I kept it a secret. But I DID tell yall she wasn’t a good person. Instead I got attacked by.. everyone.”
She also responded directly to a comment referencing Katy Perry’s hit song, “I Kissed a Girl,” clarifying her account of what happened.
“She didn’t kiss me. She saw me ‘resting’ on my best friends lap to avoid her and bent down, pulled her underwear to the side and rubbed her disgusting v-gina on my face until my eyes snapped open and I projectile vomited on her.”
Katy Perry Team Strongly Denies Allegations
Amid the escalating situation, Katy Perry’s representatives have firmly denied the accusations.
Her team issued a strong response, pushing back against the claims circulating online.
“The allegations being circulated on social media by Ruby Rose about Katy Perry are not only categorically false, they are dangerous, reckless lies. 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,” a representative for Perry said.
For now, the matter remains unresolved, with authorities maintaining that it is still under review.
As both public and legal attention intensifies, the situation continues to evolve, leaving many waiting to see what developments may come next.
