Ruby Rose Breaks Silence on Relationship with Jess Origliasso and Upcoming Memoir
Ruby Rose has opened up about her relationship with Jess Origliasso from The Veronicas. In an interview with Fitzy & Wippa, she also revealed why she wrote the now-deleted social media post calling the twins out.
Ruby and Jess were in a romantic relationship from 2016 until 2018. And though their split was initially amicable, their relationship has since deteriorated.
Earlier this month, Ruby announced that she was writing a book. In an Instagram story, she implied she would be would be singling out The Veronicas in her memoir.
“The truth. It will p*ss a lot of people off… On the sisters? You’re first. How horrific you were,” she wrote, with the “sisters” in question being the Veronicas.
But in an interview with the radio hosts, the Aussie actress revealed why she lashed out at the time.
“I just was really kind of hurt in that moment and definitely lashed out, and I need to be away from social media,” she said.
She recalled the time she stumbled across a picture from “Pitch Perfect 3” premiere when she was still with Jess. She told the hosts how “emaciated”, “dissociated” and “broken” she looked in the image, adding, “I got filled with rage, because I was like, ‘how did I let it get that bad?’ So that’s why I wrote what I wrote.”
While the post hinted at The Veronicas being the target of her memoir, Rose clarified it’s not a “revenge book”.
“It’s really important to me that I do clarify some things, some truths that were really not cool,” she explained. “It’s not some sort of tell-all, or like Prince Harry.”
Rose also revealed that she wrote the book with the help of her therapist. It will also cover other aspects of her life, like the neck injury she sustained while filming the “Batwoman” series.
“There’s a lot that I’ve stayed silent on because I was already at a place where I didn’t want to be adding flame to the fire,” she said. “I got taken advantage of because people knew my hands were sort of tied, in that I don’t want to create more of a fuss of a situation.”
Rose wants her book to inspire others. She’s doing this by sharing her experiences and how she has navigated dark times and found healthy coping mechanisms.
“Here are some things that happened that are pretty hard, and this starts from your birth, this is not just like recent, whatever,” she said.
“And here are the things that worked, and here are the things that didn’t… How to kind of find your way through dark times in a way that you can kind of keep it together and find inspiration and light.”
It’s clear to see that the Aussie actress has gone through some challenging experiences. However, it remains to be seen what truths she will reveal in her upcoming memoir.
