After Batwoman actress Ruby Rose accused Katy Perry of sexual assault in a series of Threads posts on Sunday (April 12), the singer’s team responded on Monday morning (April 13) with a denial of the claims they called “categorically false.”

In a statement to Billboard, a representative for Perry said, “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 went on to refer to what Perry’s team described as Rose’s “well-documented history of making serious public allegations on social media against various individuals,” saying those claims have “repeatedly been denied by those named.”

Former Orange Is the New Black star Rose made the allegations in a response to a news story about Perry’s reaction to Justin Bieber’s Saturday Coachella, in which Perry appeared to make a lighthearted jab about the portion of the show in which Bieber sang along to his old YouTube videos.

Australian native Rose commented in response to Complex’s Threads post, “Katy Perry sexual assaulted me at spice market nightclub in Melbourne. Who gives a s–t what she thinks.” After a Threads user asked for additional details, Rose, 40, claimed the alleged assault took place when she was in her 20s, writing, that “as a woman, for a myriad of reasons, opening up about W on W violence and sexual abuse, seems to be 100 times harder than speaking about the male predators, at least for me.”

When another commenter attempted to make a joke by referring to one of Perry’s early hits with the quip, “She kissed a girl and you didn’t like it?,” Rose provided what she claimed were the details of the alleged incident.

Rose then added, “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. 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.”

In her series of posts, Rose wrote, “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.”

Initially, Rose said she was not interested in filing a report over the incident, “not when I haven’t even filed a report for the numerous rapes at the hands of grown men.” She also said she invited Perry to sue her over the allegations, claiming, “she won’t, because it happened,” claiming she has photos from the night and that it was “witnessed by multiple people.”

She ended the posts by reiterating her claims that Perry wrote and signed letters of recommendation for her U.S. visa application in the 2010s.

The two stars have a history dating back to 2017, when Rose took aim at Perry over her song “Swish Swish,” widely believed to be a diss aimed at Rose’s friend Taylor Swift. At the time, Rose tweeted, “Purposeful poop’ to ‘bomb a petit’ to a sloppy mess of writing over the top of Funkagenda..stop trying to make ‘Wit..I mean ‘fetch’ happen,” later retracting her comment and tweeting, “being mean doesn’t suit me and leaves me feeling dirty … I get so triggered when I think bullies don’t get held accountable and it makes me think I should say something.”

At press time, it appeared as if Rose might have had a change of heart about taking her allegation to the authorities, writing late Sunday, “Today I will be walking into a police station to see if any of my experiences can be investigated. I imagine they are past their statute of limitations, but all the more reason to try. I have a long list, it will probably take more out of me than I’m prepared for, but I will come back here to update others on the process, as soon as I am ready.” It was unclear at press time if Rose discussed the alleged Perry incident or another one during her reported visit the police.

She also thanked all the “brave women” who came forward with their own stories of sexual abuse. “Especially the ones who went through the painful process of going through the police and court system. For years I have been too wounded and afraid to take the appropriate steps because I know the system seldom works.”

When another user questioned why she hadn’t filed a police report, Ruby responded Monday, “Just left the police station.” A spokesperson for Rose has not yet returned Billboard‘s request for comment.

Asha Bhosle, one of India’s most versatile Bollywood singers whose performances shaped the country’s musical memory and modern cinema, has died. She was 92.

The legendary singer across genres died Sunday (April 12) of multiple organ failure at Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai, Pratit Samdani, a physician at the hospital said. Her son, Anand Bhosle, told reporters that her last rites will be performed on Monday.

Asha was admitted at the hospital on late Saturday with a chest infection and exhaustion, her granddaughter Zanai Bhosle said in a social media post.

Asha’s timeless voice resonated across a film-obsessed India for nearly eight decades, recorded on about 12,000 songs. She boldly embraced cabaret and Western-influenced melodies to forge a distinct musical identity that stood uniquely apart from her sister, Lata Mangeshkar, herself a legendary voice revered as the “Melody Queen.”

Asha’s death was widely condoled.

“I am deeply saddened” by her passing, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in a social media post.

“Her unique musical journey spanning decades has enriched our cultural heritage and touched the hearts of countless people around the world,” Modi said. “From soulful melodies to spirited compositions, her voice carried a timeless brilliance.”

Born on Sept. 8, 1933, Asha Bhosle was initiated into music by her father Dinanath Mangeshkar, who was also a trained singer. All her four siblings became accomplished singers and musicians.

Asha’s first marriage, in 1949, ended in separation in 1960. Her second marriage was to iconic music composer R.D. Burman in 1980. She is survived by a son and grandchildren.
