Ruby Rose breaks silence on The Veronicas, reveals ‘rage’ over Pitch Perfect premiere photo

The Aussie actress has broken her silence on her ugly feud with The Veronicas – revealing why this photo from the Pitch Perfect premiere filled her with “rage”.

Ruby Rose has broken her silence on her ugly feud with The Veronicas star Jess Origliasso, while also explaining why she recently vowed to expose her “horrific” ex.

The 36-year-old Melbourne actress is back in Australia for the first time in five years, and sat down with Nova’s Fitzy & Wippa Tuesday morning where she was asked about her Instagram post in which she promised to out Jess and her twin sister Lisa in her upcoming book.

Explaining why she made the explosive post, Rose said she was triggered with “rage” after seeing a photo of herself at the Pitch Perfect 3 premiere while doing research for the memoir.

“I stumbled across a picture from Pitch Perfect 3, the premiere. And I’d forgotten that, just how … I mean, I look, I’m emaciated. I’m just dissociated, I look so broken,” Rose recalled.

“And I got filled with rage, because I was like, ‘How did I let it get that bad?’ And so that’s why I wrote what I wrote [on Instagram].”

Rose attended two premieres for the popular film in late 2017 – one in Sydney in November with her then-girlfriend, and another on her own in California two weeks later.

She didn’t specify which premiere she was referring to.

Rose, who dated 38-year-old Jess from 2016 until 2018, openly targeted the Brisbane-born sisters on social media earlier this month, and said outing them was her “first” priority in her expose.

“The truth. It will p*ss a lot of people off,” Rose wrote on her Instagram stories. “But maybe you should have been better? Excited to be free. Excited to tell the truth.

“On the sisters [Veronicas]? You’re first. How horrific you were.”

In her radio interview today, Rose suggested she was in a difficult headspace when she made the post. She said she hit the publish button at midnight while filming a movie in Greece.

“It’s not a revenge book, and it’s not a gossip book,” she clarified. “That isn’t all about those girls [Veroncias] you know … I shouldn’t have been doing it [research] at the same time as the film in Greece at midnight.

“Because that’s what I have to do, is research times, dates, and seeing that picture … I just realised how … and I haven’t been the same.

“It just brought back a lot for me. And it’s definitely not a book I should be writing without my therapist, which I have been writing while talking to her, but I didn’t at that time.”

Rose took to Instagram with a scathing warning earlier this month.

Rose and Jess announced their amicable split in April 2018, with Rose saying Jess was “an amazing human being” at the time.

A few short months later, Jess revealed their break-up was anything but amicable, as she publicly hit out at Rose on Instagram and accused her of “continued harassment”.

Jess had shared a photo of herself kissing her new partner, US musician Kai Carlton (the pair have since split), which Rose commented on.

“Congratulations! So happy for you both,” Rose wrote alongside the image at the time.

Jess slammed the Orange is the New Black star, writing, “@rubyrose I have requested you not contact me for over 4 months now.

“You have been given my grace of being ignored on every other private platform, so the fact you continue to ignore this to contact me here publicly under the guise of wishing me well, is continued harassment.”

Speaking on The Veronicas’ 2019 Foxtel reality show Blood is for Life,Jess revealed the toll the relationship had on her behind closed doors, as she confirmed reports of a well-documented feud with her twin sister.

“Lis and I didn’t talk for a year. I was in a relationship that wasn’t good for me. I became isolated. I had nobody anymore, I only had my relationship,” Jess said.

“Although I have so many regrets in staying as long as I did, and not standing up for myself, I did the most that I could to love that person the best I could.

“I do so much work on the idea of acceptance and forgiveness, and whatever happens from there is that person’s karma. They will continue to manifest what their life is and I will continue to manifest what is for me.”

Rose has rarely spoken about her relationship with Jess, but had a well-known feud with Lisa, whom she criticised for celebrating same-sex marriage being legalised in Australia in 2017.

“So glad to see Lisa Origliasso screaming in excitement about the yes vote after telling us she thinks we should feel ‘lucky’ we don’t get stoned to death like they do in other countries and to get over it a few months ago. Really warms my heart,” Rose wrote in a since-deleted tweet.

Lisa hit back a short time later, insisting the accusations were false.

“I did not make those statements and I do not hold those views,” she said in a statement.
