Victoria Police Open Investigation Into Ruby Rose’s Assault Allegation Against Katy Perry

Police scrutiny signals a shift from online claims to a formal process with public comment now limited.

Overview

  • Victoria Police, which confirmed Wednesday an inquiry by its Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team, is reviewing a reported 2010 incident at Melbourne’s Spice Market nightclub.
  • Ruby Rose says she has filed statements with investigators and, at their request, will stop commenting publicly while the case is reviewed.
  • Katy Perry’s representatives reject the accusation as categorically false and describe it as dangerous, reckless lies.
  • Perry has not issued a detailed personal rebuttal and instead posted a brief Instagram Story that read “i love you” with artwork for her song By the Grace of God.
  • Rose’s now‑deleted posts described the alleged encounter in graphic terms and said she delayed speaking out due to trauma, a pattern that police procedures acknowledge by asking complainants and witnesses to limit public remarks during active inquiries.
