Ruby Rose has accused Katy Perry of sexually assaulting her two decades ago.
The actor, best known for the show 'Orange is the New Black' made the allegation in a series of posts on Threads yesterday, 12 April.
Rose, 40, claimed that the pop star assaulted her at an Australian nightclub when she was in her 20s.
The allegation was first brought up by rose on a Complex Music Threads post, mentioning the singer.
She said: "Katy Perry sexual [sic] assaulted me at spice market nightclub in Melbourne. Who gives a [damn] what she thinks."
She thanked her fans for her support as she alleged: "I was only in my early 20s. I'm now 40. It has taken almost 2 decades to say this publicly.
"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 replied to another fan, who assured the Australian TV presenter that they believed her.
"Before I open up about something incredibly raw and traumatic, I tell myself 'it's ok, you don't need people to believe you, you just need to get it out of your poor body, before it gives you cancer,'" she wrote.
"But then I see this post and … tears consume me, in a good way. Thank you."
Perry has not commented on these accusations at this time.
