Rose Accuses Perry of Sexual Assault
14 Apr
Summary
- Ruby Rose accused Katy Perry of sexual assault on April 12, 2026.
- Perry's representative has strongly denied the allegations.
- This incident follows a 2017 public feud over a song.
Actress Ruby Rose has accused singer Katy Perry of sexual assault. Rose shared these allegations on the platform Threads on April 12, 2026, stating the incident occurred when she was in her early twenties. Katy Perry's representative has issued a statement vehemently denying the accusations.
This recent claim revives a past public disagreement between Rose and Perry. In May 2017, Rose publicly criticized Perry's single 'Swish Swish,' featured on Perry's album 'Witness.' Rose expressed that she felt the song targeted her close friend, Taylor Swift. Rose also commented on Perry's shift in musical focus, calling it a 'bummer.'
Shortly after her critical tweets in May 2017, Ruby Rose later expressed regret for her online posts. She stated she disliked being 'mean' and that her reaction stemmed from experiences with bullying. Rose acknowledged that she should not 'stoop' to a level that could confuse her message.
Katy Perry did not directly respond to Rose's 2017 tweets, nor did Taylor Swift. The long-standing feud between Perry and Swift, which began around 2014, was contextually relevant at the time, with Swift alleging that Perry had attempted to sabotage her tour.
