"They were both drunk." An insider recounted the night Katy Perry allegedly harassed Ruby Rose.

Amid the official investigation into Katy Perry's sexual harassment allegations against her by 40-year-old actress Ruby Rose, an insider has shared details of the incident that occurred 20 years ago. The former manager of the Melbourne club Spice Market, where Rose claims the incident occurred, shared his memories of that evening in an interview with the Herald Sun, as reported by Us Weekly.

Although the manager (whose name has not been disclosed) claimed not to have witnessed the incident itself (Katy Perry allegedly pressing her exposed crotch into Rose's face, causing the actress to vomit), he shared his impressions of the girls' behavior that night. According to the insider, he remembers Perry and Rose arriving at the club together. A separate area was allocated for them and their group. "It was a security nightmare because there were 600 people there, and Katy kept coming out and dancing with everyone in the middle of the crowd," he explained.

According to him, both were drunk, "but not completely wasted, just like regular people drinking in a nightclub." The management knew Perry and Rose were public figures and "didn't want anyone taking photos of them like that," so they were escorted out the back exit and put in the same car. The manager assumed they were headed to the hotel.

On April 12, Ruby Rose accused 41-year-old Katy Perry of sexualized assault on her Threads* account. "Katy Perry sexually assaulted me at the Spice Market nightclub in Melbourne," the actress wrote. "I was in my early 20s. I'm 40 now. It's taken me almost two decades to speak out about this publicly. Although I'm incredibly grateful to have lived to speak out, it shows how powerful trauma and sexualized assault can be," Ruby Rose recalled.

According to the actress, she fell asleep on her friend's lap when Katy Perry allegedly approached her, removed her panties, and began rubbing her genitals against Ruby's face. The "touching" woke Rose up and she vomited. Rose claims she dismissed the incident as a funny story for a long time. Perry later helped her obtain an American visa so Ruby would stop telling everyone about it. Katy Perry's representatives have already commented on the scandal, calling Rose's accusations "dangerous, reckless lies."

Despite the fact that the situation has been going on for a long time, Australian police have launched an official investigation.

As a reminder, in 2025, Katy Perry split from actor Orlando Bloom, with whom she had a daughter, Daisy Dove. That same year, it was revealed that the singer was dating former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

"Orange Is the New Black" star Ruby Rose is an open lesbian**. The actress played the lead role in "Batwoman," but left the show after the first season. This was reportedly due to "numerous complaints" about her behavior on set.
