Katy Perry's troubling confession about the dark side of being married to Russell Brand resurfaces after his sentencing
As former British comedian and convicted rapist Russell Brand begins his 10.5-year jail sentence following yesterday's sentencing, his ex-wife Katy Perry's past comments about their troubled relationship have resurfaced.
Pop star Perry, who was married to Brand for just 14 months from 2010 to 2011, claimed that her ex-husband was not a fan of her being the boss whilst she was on tour, eventually calling him "very controlling" in a 2013 interview with Vogue.
Katy Perry has spoken somewhat openly about her controlling marriage
While the California Girls singer has spoken previously about the brutal way Brand ended the marriage, reportedly via text on New Year's Eve, she also admitted she blamed herself for their divorce at first.
However, she later discovered "the real truth" about their breakup, but has never revealed what it is, claiming she is keeping it secret for a rainy day, which could come sooner than expected given the thunderstorm surrounding Brand this week.
In the Vogue interview, Perry recalled Brand making jokes about her during one of his stand-up shows, not realising she was in the audience.
Earlier this year, the star, who is now in a relationship with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, hit out at Brand during a concert in the UK.
During her performance, a fan asked her to act out her reaction to seeing her ex, and the singer joked, "I hope my ex isn't here. He should be in jail!"
A disturbing video of how Brand treated Perry has resurfaced online
Also earlier this week, a shocking clip resurfaced online, showing Brand holding an alarming message on a piece of paper during a red carpet interview with his then-fiancée.
When an interviewer asked them how the award ceremony was, Brand was starting to answer when Perry called him out for not watching the show.
He then quipped, telling a fake anecdote about the ceremony that didn't take place, and the reporter told the 'Teenage Dream' songstress: "You just put him in it right now."
Brand then said he did watch the award show while Perry told the reporter: "I call him on his bull****."
The disgraced comedian then scolded Perry, telling her not to swear.
At that moment, Brand took a small piece of paper that had the word "Obey" on it.
Perry glanced at the paper and stopped speaking, while Brand answered the question himself, saying he was "happy for everyone."
She then laughed and proceeded to hold his hand.
The reporter then asked the pop star, "How do you deal with this guy?"
The former Hollywood star was found guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault. Despite pleading not guilty to all charges, which span 10 years from 1999, Brand was found guilty on four counts and has now been sentenced to 10.5 years in prison.
They included raping a woman at his house in London and sexually assaulting three different women at their workplaces at a radio station and a TV studio.
