I don\u2019t. I had been off grog for 30 days \u2014 my first attempt at sobriety \u2014 and I was out partying with Katy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Recalling that she had decided to have \u201cone drink\u201d, because \u201cwhat\u2019s the worst that could happen?\u201d Rose continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, not stopping at one drink, or ten, and then vomiting on Katy\u2019s foot was the answer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rose asserted that nothing bad had happened beyond that, however.<\/p>\n<p>Love Music?<\/p>\n<p class=\"observer-desc mb-2\"> Get your daily dose of everything happening in Australian\/New Zealand music and globally.<\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/spinner.gif\" width=\"30\" height=\"30\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBefore you jump to conclusions, nothing horrific happened, nor have I been hit with a DUI \u2013 but I just had enough, and it has been one of the best decisions of my life,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1066\" data-end=\"1382\">The column has resurfaced days after Rose, now 40, publicly alleged that Perry assaulted her at Melbourne nightclub Spice Market. The claim was made in a post responding to commentary about Justin Bieber, where Rose wrote, \u201cKaty Perry sexually assaulted me\u2026 Who gives a sh*t what she thinks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1384\" data-end=\"1617\">Rose later expanded on the allegation in a detailed social media post, claiming the incident occurred while she was attempting to avoid Perry inside Melbourne\u2019s Spice Market. She also said she has witnesses and photographic evidence from the night.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1619\" data-end=\"1881\">Explaining the discrepancy between her earlier account and current claims, Rose said she initially downplayed the incident because she \u201cdidn\u2019t know how else to handle it,\u201d and was concerned about jeopardising a US visa Perry was assisting her with at the time.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1619\" data-end=\"1881\">\u201cI\u2019m now 40. It has taken almost 2 decades to say this publicly,\u201d she shared to social media. \u201cThough 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.
