Ruby Rose's father has died.
The 38-year-old actress has previously spoken about the difficult relationship she had with her dad Peter, but she has lemented being left "alone" with "complex emotions" to deal with after her parent passed away.
With many complex emotions." Further information about Peter's passing have not been made public.
Ruby grew up on a farm in Victoria, Australia, with Peter and her mother Katia but when she was 12 months old, they split, and the star did not see her dad "for a long time" and ended up becoming a "gypsy kid" due to moving around a lot.
Ruby had a difficult relationship with her father She told the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper in 2011: "I didn't see my dad for a long time, but when I hit adolescence I went through that period of self-discovery and wanted to know where I came from.
The former Orange is the New Black star has largely retreated from the spotlight after quitting her lead role in 'Batwoman' after just one season in 2020.
The actress said on Instagram at the time: "I’m going to tell the whole world what really happened on that set… I will come for you so what happened to me never happens to another person again.
And so I can finally take back my life and the truth.
Ruby later discussed the injuries allegedly suffered by cast and crew members during production.
However, Warner Bros later denied the allegations.
The company said in a statement: "Despite the revisionist history that Ruby Rose is now sharing online aimed at the producers, the cast and crew, the network, and the studio, the truth is that Warner Bros.
Television had decided not to exercise its option to engage Ruby for season two of Batwoman based on multiple complaints about workplace behaviour that were extensively reviewed and handled privately out of respect for all concerned."
