Ruby Rose shares heartbreaking news amid life away from Hollywood

Ruby Rose shared heartbreaking news on Monday that her father, Peter passed away, just a few days before Christmas.

In regards to this, the 38-year-old wrote on Instagram Stories, “RIP Dad. You leave me. Alone. With so many complex emotions,” while expressing her grief.

Ruby did not disclose the cause of her father’s demise but alluded to their complicated relationship, something she has openly discussed in the past.

The Orange Is The New Black star was raised in rural Victoria by her mother, Katia, and her father, who was a racehorse breeder.

According to Daily Mail, Ruby’s parents separated when she was just one year old, leading to a transient childhood spent moving between Churchill, Gippsland, Surfers Paradise, and Melbourne.

During a 2011 interview with The Sydney Morning Herald, Ruby reflected on her relationship with her father by saying, “I didn’t see my dad for a long time, but when I hit adolescence, I wanted to know where I came from. I had my trust broken a lot by my dad, and in life, it all comes down to trust.”

Moreover, Ruby has stepped back from the spotlight in recent years, following her controversial exit from the CW superhero series Batwoman in 2020.

Additionally, she cited poor working conditions on set, later clarifying in a scathing online post, “I DID NOT QUIT. They ruined Kate Kane and destroyed Batwoman, not me.”

Despite her retreat from Hollywood, Ruby has remained active on social media, recently debuting a shaved head and sharing photos from a visit to The Gentle Barn animal sanctuary in California.

Meanwhile, she was accompanied by Malaysian-Australian actor Remy Hii, with whom she enjoyed the therapeutic experience of connecting with rescued animals, as per the publication.

It is worth mentioning that Ruby’s career began in Australia as a model, DJ, and TV presenter for MTV, before she shot to international fame with her breakout role in Orange Is the New Black in 2015.

Furthermore, she later starred in blockbuster films like John Wick: Chapter 2, Pitch Perfect 3, and The Meg.
