Ex-husband of Katy Perry received a prison sentence: what the singer said about marriage

After reports of the conviction of British comedian Russell Brand, journalists again drew attention to the statements of his ex-wife, American singer Katy Perry. In an interview with Vogue back in 2013, the actress called her husband an overly controlling person and said that he did not like her independence during the tour. According to the singer, Brand painfully perceived situations in which she held a leadership position.

Perry also admitted that after the divorce long blamed himself for the destruction of the marriage, but later learned the circumstances that forced her to reconsider what happened. The actress refused to disclose details, explaining that she prefers to keep this information secret. The attention of users was again attracted by a recording from the 2010 red carpet, on which Brand showed an icon with the inscription “Submit” after a comment from his wife.

The couple married in 2010, but in December 2011, the comedian informed Perry of his intention to divorce via text message. In July 2026, the singer joked during a concert in England that her ex-husband should be in prison. According to a report by TMZ, Brand was sentenced to ten years and six months in prison on November 9 in a rape and sexual assault case, after which Perry’s previous stories were again actively discussed.
