"Katy Perry sexual [sic] assaulted me at a spice market in Melbourne. What gives a s--- what she thinks," Rose wrote via Instagram's Threads on Sunday, April 12.
"She saw me ‘resting’ on my best friend's lap to avoid her and bent down, pulled her underwear to the side and rubbed her disgusting v----- on my face until my eyes snapped open and I projectile vomited on her," Rose alleged.
The Australian actress said she kept the story a secret because Katy Perry helped her get a U.S. visa.
"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," the Batwoman alum confessed. "But I DID tell yall she wasn’t a good person. Instead I got attacked by... everyone."
Though she didn't report the incident at the time, the Australian star decided to do so now, though she acknowledged it may be past the statute of limitations.
