‘Trying to kill us': Ruby Rose makes troubling claims
Australian actor Ruby Rose has sparked concern among fans after claiming people are 'trying to kill' her and making a chilling comparison to Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre. The 39-year-old made the troubling claims on Monday while responding to an innocuous question on Threads. An American radio host posted a question on his own account, asking: 'Who is a celebrity that gave it all up at the height of fame to go live a 'normal' life?' Ruby re-posted the question, writing, 'We just leave when people try to kill us. When we are illegally debanked and (redacted). Hope that helps'. She continued: 'I don't want to be labelled 'crazy' and I don't want to pretend to know how Virginia Giuffre died — but DOZENS of people including a school bus, have tried to run me off the road in the last few years. The posts Ruby Rose made on Threads. Credit: Threads 'I have been followed almost every time I leave my home, since the day I broke my neck back and ribs on Batwoman. Since then I have doubled down on (redacted) and Epstein. 'This has resulted in some seriously wild attempts on my life. Believe it or don't. But I might as well update you.' Virginia Giuffre was a high-profile victim of billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein who died on her farm in Neergabby, about 80km north of Perth, in April in circumstances that were not deemed suspicious. Just weeks before Giuffre's death, she claimed she had just days to live after being involved in a crash with a school bus. However, police later confirmed the collision was minor and no major injuries were reported after the crash. Australian actress and television presenter Ruby Rose in 2023.

Fans took to the comments section to express their concern over Ruby's safety. One person said: 'If you're truly being followed and targeted, staying put is dangerous. You need to move ideally to another country , where you can be safe and off the radar. Trust no one unless you're absolutely sure of them. Change your routine completely. This isn't about fear, it's about survival. Your safety comes first act now !!!' 'I really hope that from now on that you have are able to stay safe and live a happy life,' another said. PerthNow has reached out to Ruby for comment. If you need help in a crisis, call on 13 11 14.

Controversial Perth Supercars plan wins a famous fan
Supercars veteran Will Davison has thrown his support behind Western Australia constructing a street track near the Perth CBD, saying it will help bring the sport to the people. In January, WA Premier Roger Cook committed $217 million to create a new motorsport street circuit as well as a 20,000-seat music bowl and a function centre. The motorsport circuit would be constructed in the Burswood Precinct area, which houses the 60,000-seat Optus Stadium. But the plan quickly attracted fierce criticism, with opponents raising concerns over noise pollution and the loss of natural green space. Melbourne, Gold Coast, Adelaide and Townsville are among the Supercars venues already boasting street circuits. Newcastle also had a street track, but a combination of the COVID-19 pandemic, pushback from locals and the failure to secure a new Supercars deal resulted in the council restoring the area back to normal use. Davison, in Perth for this week's Supercars event at Wanneroo Raceway, feels a new street track would work wonders for the sport in Perth. "I've been around this sport for a long time, and I've been a part of a lot of the street races that have started from scratch over the last 10 or 15 years," Davison said. "Some have worked, some haven't. But I'm a huge supporter of local motor sports circuits. "You explain it in a way where you're bringing your sport to the people, particularly in the heart of the CBD. "We have our die-hard fans that love Supercars, love motorsport. "(But) there's a lot of people that are on the fence and (won't change their mind) until they come and experience it first hand, and feel that it's much more than a motor sport event." Davison said street circuits brought a different aspect to motor racing. "There's so much going on at street events that are good for the kids, good for the family. There's entertainment everywhere you look left, right and centre. "They create a vibe and atmosphere that makes it much more than a motorsport event." In a huge sporting weekend for Perth, the Socceroos face Japan in a crucial World Cup qualifier at Optus Stadium on Thursday night, while the Supercars will be in action from Friday. Davison and his Dick Johnson Racing teammate Brodie Kostecki took on Socceroos pair Martin Doyle and Mat Ryan in a remote control car battle at Perth's Elizabeth Quay on Monday.
