Actor Christina Ricci left a telling comment on a photo of pop star Katy Perry, who is embroiled in allegations of sexual misconduct, drawing attention.

Christina Ricci recently left the comment "Yikes" on a 2026 Met Gala photo of Katy Perry and Connor Sturrock released on Variety's official channel.

"Yikes" is an expression used to show surprise, disappointment or embarrassment at an unexpected or unpleasant situation, and is often used to react to light shock or discomfort. Given that Katy Perry has recently been the subject of various disclosures and allegations, some believe Christina Ricci's reaction is meaningful.

In particular, Christina Ricci co-starred with Ruby Rose, the actor who raised the sexual misconduct allegations against Katy Perry, in the 2013 film Around the Block, which gives the reaction added significance. However, it has not been confirmed whether Christina Ricci was targeting Katy Perry because of the allegations.

Earlier, Ruby Rose, known for the drama Orange Is the New Black, claimed on social media last month that she was sexually assaulted by Katy Perry at a club in Melbourne, Australia in the past.

Ruby Rose said, "Katy Perry sexually assaulted me at the Spice Market club in Melbourne," and alleged that while she was in her 20s and leaning on a friend's lap to rest, Perry approached, pushed her underwear to the side and rubbed her body part on Rose's face. Rose added, "I opened my eyes in shock and vomited on her."

She added that she is grateful to have survived long enough to find her voice, but that it shows how much trauma and sexual assault can affect someone.

Katy Perry's camp responded that the claims being spread by Ruby Rose are completely false and dangerous and irresponsible lies, saying that Rose has a history of repeatedly making serious public allegations against multiple people and that those claims have been repeatedly denied by the parties involved.

However, it was reported that an investigation into the matter is underway. Senior Constable Paul Hogan of Victoria Police said, "Detectives from the Melbourne sexual offences and child abuse investigation team are investigating an alleged historical sexual assault that occurred in Melbourne in 2010," and explained, "We have received a report that the incident occurred at a licensed venue in Melbourne's central business district."

Meanwhile, Katy Perry had a daughter with actor Orlando Bloom but they broke up, and she is publicly dating Canada's former prime minister Justin Trudeau.
