Ruby Rose has revealed how, upon seeing a confronting photo of herself when she was physically and mentally “broken”, she publicly lashed out at her ex-girlfriend Jessica Origliasso earlier this month.
Ruby was photographed looking worryingly thin while attending the Pitch Perfect 3 premiere in Sydney with her then-partner Jess in November 2017.
As she sat down to write her memoir several weeks ago, she came across the photo and was reminded of how toxic the couple’s relationship was at the time.
She took to Instagram to launch a scathing attack on Jessica and her sister Lisa, who are members of the pop band The Veronicas, calling them out for “how horrible” they allegedly were to her.
Addressing her outburst on Nova FM’s Fitzy & Wippa on Tuesday, Ruby said she had shared the posts because she was writing about her trauma from past relationships.

He explained to co-hosts Ryan ‘Fitzy’ Fitzgerald and Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli that the photo from the Pitch Perfect 3 premiere brought back painful memories.
At the time, fans raised concerns for the actress amid unconfirmed reports that her weight had dropped to an alarming 44kg.
“To be honest, I came across a picture of Pitch Perfect 3, the premiere. And I had forgotten that… the way I look, I’m emaciated,’ she said.
“I’m just disassociated, I look so broken and I was filled with rage, because I was like, ‘How did I let it get so bad?'” she added.
‘And that’s why I wrote what I wrote. But what the book really is, and what matters to me in order to change its narrative, [is] It’s not kind of a tell-all, like Prince Harry…it’s kind of like, “Here are some things that happened that are pretty harsh.”
Ruby was responding to her Instagram outburst weeks earlier in which she announced she was writing a memoir that was going to “upset a lot of people.”
‘Book writing. The truth. It will piss off a lot of people… but maybe you should have been better? she wrote.
‘Excited to be free. Excited to tell the truth. About the sisters? you are the first. How horrible you were… Imagine mistaking kindness for weakness…’

Ruby clarified to Fitzy & Wippa on Tuesday that it won’t be a “revenge book,” but rather that she hopes to inspire others.
“I want it to be more of an inspirational book, as opposed to, you know, it’s not a revenge book, and it’s not a gossip book,” she said.
‘Definitely not a book I should be writing without my therapist.
“But the other parts are more about other things that have been said about, you know, when I broke my neck and was almost a paraplegic, and creating controversy for things that didn’t happen, because that’s how Hollywood can be.
‘There are a lot of things I’ve kept quiet about because I was already in a place where I didn’t want to add flames to the fire. I think everyone was going to keep doubling down on these things because I was silent.
‘You know, it’s like you ignore the bullies… I was taken advantage of because people knew my hands were tied and I didn’t want to create more of a ruckus in the situation.’
The feud between Ruby and The Veronicas was laid bare after Jessica broke off their on-and-off relationship in 2018.
The two women dated briefly in 2008 before rekindling their romance in 2016, only to break up again two years later.
The feud between Ruby (pictured) and The Veronicas was exposed after Jessica broke off their on-and-off relationship in 2018.
The Origliasso sisters (pictured in Los Angeles on June 25, 2019) said their band nearly fell apart due to their family breakup while Jessica was dating Ruby Rose.
Not only did the relationship not end amicably, but while Jess was dating Ruby for nearly two years, she was feuding with her twin sister and bandmate Lisa.
Lisa explained that the siblings’ relationship became extremely strained during Jessica’s time with Ruby, and for an entire year they did not speak or act together.
She called the period when they didn’t speak was “heartbreaking”, with Jessica adding: “When you have a twin, you have support for everything.”
“But sometimes, in order to evolve as an individual and find the love for myself that I needed to find, I needed to go through [that] experience for myself.
The sisters admitted that from 2016 to 2018, the band almost fell apart due to family breakdown, but the love of music eventually brought them back together.
