Who Is Ruby Rose? Get to Know the New Gorgeous Aussie on OITNB

Ruby landed a gig as a VJ for MTV Australia back in 2007; the job won her the ASTRA Award for favorite female personality two years later. Since then, she's appeared as a guest judge on Australia's Next Top Model and cohosted Aussie talk show The 7pm Project, and will be making her American TV debut as new inmate Stella Carlin in season three of Orange Is the New Black.

She was born Ruby Rose Langenheim in 1986 to single mother and artist Katia Langenheim. Ruby is the goddaughter of famed boxer Lionel Rose and the great-granddaughter of Alec Campbell, the last surviving soldier of the Australian Battle of Gallipoli during World War I.

In a 2009 interview, Ruby opened up about being tormented in school; she was bullied so severely that she wound up in the hospital with injuries and became "scarily depressed." Of the horrifying incident — she was 16 at the time — Ruby said, "There were five girls and one boy who picked on me badly . . . sometimes they would just come up and punch me in the head, but there was a lot of intimidation." She explained that the group "started by just being rude to me and yelling the usual high-school stuff," before one of the girls hit her in the head with a metal chair, and added, "She was just smashing it against the back of my head. My mates tried to stop her but she kept going until management ran over and said 'Enough!' Security arrived and the police. It was a big deal. My head was bleeding. I had to go to hospital."

During her acceptance speech at the 2009 ASTRA Awards, Ruby called out her former attackers, saying, "To all those girls who bullied me in high school, where are you now?" She currently lends her time to anti-bullying initiatives and the Australian youth mental health organization Headspace.

In addition to acting, modeling, and DJing, Ruby also has her hands in fashion. In 2010, she collaborated with the Australian label Milk and Honey to design a capsule collection of jeans, t-shirts, and leather jackets called Milk and Honey Designed by Ruby Rose. She also released a line with the footwear brand Gallaz. Last year, Ruby began collaborating with her fiancée, Phoebe Dahl, on ethically produced clothing for her line, Faircloth & Supply.
