Markets 
Ruby Rose says she has formally completed a police report tied to explosive claims involving pop star Katy Perry, saying the move marks a turning point that prevents her from publicly discussing the case further.
Rose claimed the alleged assault occurred nearly 20 years ago at the Spice Market nightclub in Melbourne, Australia.
The 40-year-old actress revealed on Threads that law enforcement has now closed off her ability to speak about the matter.
“Melbourne Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team detectives are investigating a historical sexual assault that occurred in Melbourne in 2010,” Acting Sergeant Paul Hogan of Victoria Police told The California Post. “Police have been told the incident occurred at a licensed premises in Melbourne’s Central Business District.”
“As of this afternoon, I have finalized all of my reports,” Rose wrote on Threads. “This means I am no longer able to comment, repost, or talk publicly about any of those cases, or the individuals involved.”
She added that the restriction may give her some emotional breathing room despite the public attention surrounding the claims.
“It’s going to look like I am ignoring everything from supportive messages, to other people’s experiences, but I’m not,” the “Orange Is the New Black” star said. “This is a standard request from the police and in many ways, quite the relief.”
Rose continued, “I can start the healing process now. And temporarily move forward. I love you all so much.”
The development comes after Rose made a series of allegations over the weekend, responding online to a Katy Perry clip involving Justin Bieber’s Coachella performance.
In a post on Threads, Rose wrote: “Katy Perry sexually assaulted me at spice market nightclub in Melbourne. Who gives a s— what she thinks.”
When pressed by a user for more details, she described a disturbing incident and also said she initially reframed it as a joke to cope.
“After it I threw up on her. 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.”
She also alleged there were professional ties that kept her silent at the time.
“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.”
A representative for Perry strongly rejected the accusations, calling them completely untrue.
“The allegations being circulated on social media by Ruby Rose about Katy Perry are not only categorically false, they are dangerous, reckless lies,” the statement read. “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.”
Rose also said the alleged incident happened when she was in her early 20s and claimed she is now 40, saying it has taken nearly two decades to speak out publicly.
“I was only in my early 20s. I’m now 40. It has taken almost 2 decades to say this publicly,” she wrote. “Though I am so grateful to have made it long enough to find my voice, it just shows how much of an impact trauma and sexual assault takes. Thank you for seeing me.”
She also commented on what she described as the difficulty of speaking about alleged women-on-women violence.
Rose further claimed she is not seeking to avoid legal consequences and even welcomed a lawsuit.
“[Katy] is more than welcome to sue me (she won’t, because it happened, I have photos and it was literally in public and witnessed by multiple people). Plus there is so much more that happened in the years leading up to her silly song she won’t want me discussing. The psychological manipulation was strong with that one,” she wrote.
Meanwhile, Perry appeared to respond indirectly on Instagram Stories by sharing a clip of her song “By the Grace of God” along with the message, “I love you.”
Lyrics from the 2013 album “Prism” track include: “It was not about me / Now I have to rise above / Let the universe call the bluff / Yeah the truth will set you free.”
As questions about Perry’s past behavior emerge, an old 2014 interview has resurfaced where Anna Kendrick is seen playfully describing a similar incident while appearing on Conan O’Brien’s late-night show.
