Rose has since made a post on Threads saying she can no longer talk about the incident while the police investigate her claims. 

'Last update on this: As of this afternoon, I have finalized all of my reports,' she wrote on Tuesday. 

'This means I am no longer able to comment, repost, or talk publicly about any of those cases, or the individuals involved.

'It's going to look like I am ignoring everything from supportive messages, to other people's experiences, but I'm not.

'This is a standard request from the police and in many ways, quite the relief. I can start the healing process now. And temporary [sic] move forward. I love you all so much.'

Daily Mail has reached out to Perry's representatives for comment.  

Perry hit back at Rose's 'dangerous and reckless lies' this week as she denied claims she had sexually assaulted the Orange Is The New Black star. 

Rose claimed in a social media post that the incident with the singer took place at a Melbourne nightclub when she was in her twenties.

However, a representative for Perry denied Rose's comments in a statement to Daily Mail this week.

'The allegations being circulated on social media by Ruby Rose about Katy Perry are not only categorically false, they are dangerous, reckless lies,' they said.

'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.'

Making the allegations in a post shared to Threads, Rose wrote: 'Katy Perry sexually assaulted me at Spice Market nightclub in Melbourne. Who gives a s*** what she thinks.

'I was only in my early 20s. I'm now 40. It has taken almost two 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.'

It is not the first time the Australian actress has criticised Perry in public. She described the singer's track Swish Swish as 'purposeful poop' in 2017.

However, Rose backtracked on the comments just days later, writing on X: 'Being mean doesn't suit me and leaves me feeling dirty.

'Truth is being mean leaves more leaks in your camp than the Titanic and I get so triggered when I think bullies don't get held accountable and it makes me think I should say something... but it's not [my] place.'
