Police in Australia are investigating claims that Katy Perry sexually assaulted actress Ruby Rose during a night out at a Melbourne nightclub in 2010.
The singer denied Rose’s claims earlier this week.
Rose first made the accusations against Perry on Sunday, posting on Threads what she claimed the “California Girls” singer had done, while they were clubbing at Spice Market, a since-closed popular nightclub in downtown Melbourne.
Rose, who is Australian, said she had taken steps to file a police report and, on Tuesday, provided an update.
In her social media posts, Rose did not pinpoint the exact date of the alleged assault, but acknowledged it had occurred more than a decade ago.
Reports from Australian news outlets place Perry and Rose spending time together and hitting up the popular nightclub Spice Market in downtown Melbourne in August 2010.
Rose said she possessed corroborative photos and that the encounter was witnessed by numerous people.
The actress claimed she hadn’t shared the full scope of her experience, in part, because Perry had written letters of recommendation for Rose that helped her secure a visa to come to the United States.
In 2013, Rose starred in the breakout Netflix series Orange Is the New Black.
