For Katy Perry, the day that Ruby Rose says ended in an alleged sexual assault started the complete opposite -- light, loud, and carefree -- and TMZ’s got a pic and a video from that very night 16 years ago.
Check it out ... Katy was all smiles on August 15, 2010, crashing a high school prom at Melbourne’s Grand Hyatt, where she grabbed a mic and belted out a few songs, including Beyoncé's "Single Ladies." Ruby was with her at the time, though she’s nowhere to be seen in the shots.
From there, the pair later hit Melbourne nightclub Spice Market -- the same spot Ruby claims things took a dark turn. Since the "Orange Is the New Black" star came forward with these allegations ... a police probe has been sparked in Australia.
The manager of the nightclub where Ruby Rose says she was allegedly sexually assaulted by Katy Perry more than 15 years ago is weighing in on the claim.
A former manager of the since-closed Spice Market nightclub in Melbourne, Australia told the Herald Sun that he never saw the alleged incident ... but confirmed Ruby and Katy were at the establishment that night and both "had way too much to drink."
As we reported ... Ruby posted a series of messages Sunday on Threads, claiming Katy had "rubbed her disgusting vagina on my face" while they were at a nightclub in Australia. Ruby, who is 40, said she was in her early 20s at the time and vomited during the alleged sexual assault.
Katy Perry is being investigated by the police in Australia following Ruby Rose's shocking claims the singer sexually assaulted her over 15 years ago.
In a statement to TMZ, the Victoria Police say detectives are investigating a historical sexual assault that occurred in Melbourne in 2010, adding that the incident allegedly occurred at a licensed premises in the Central Business District.
As a result, Ruby wrote on Threads she's no longer allowed to speak about the case after the actress filed a police report with her allegations against Katy, who categorially denies the incident.
Katy Perry is vehemently denying allegations she sexually assaulted actress Ruby Rose back in the day.
Katy's rep tells TMZ ... "The allegations being circulated on social media by Ruby Rose about Katy Perry are not only categorically false, they are dangerous reckless lies. 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."
The "Dark Horse" singer's response comes just hours after Ruby made a series of sexual assault claims in a flurry of social media posts.
