LOS ANGELES, April 14, 2026 Pop star Katy Perry has vehemently denied allegations of sexual assault made by Australian actress Ruby Rose, calling the claims "not only categorically false but also dangerous, reckless lies."
Background of the Allegations
The controversy erupted after Ruby Rose, known for her roles in *Orange Is The New Black*, *John Wick: Chapter 2*, *Pitch Perfect 3*, and *Meg*, publicly accused Perry of misconduct. The specifics of the allegations have not been detailed in the available reports, but the claims have sparked significant media attention.
