Katy Perry in 'active discussions' over documentary detailing her 'dark marriage' to Russell Brand

Sources say Perry is considering an autobiography and a streaming series after waiting for the trial outcome, with offers on the table for years.

  • On July 1, 2026, pop singer Katy Perry told fans at Blenheim Palace that her ex-husband Russell Brand 'should be in jail,' a remark that resurfaced following his conviction for rape and sexual assault at Southwark Crown Court last week.
  • Perry and Brand married in 2010, but their 14-month marriage ended in 2011 when Brand texted he wanted a divorce. Perry later described the relationship as 'very controlling,' citing his jealousy over her professional success during tours.
  • Sources claim Perry is now in 'active discussions' with Netflix and Hulu regarding a potential docuseries and autobiography about their marriage. She reportedly waited for the trial's conclusion before finalizing these projects.
  • On Monday, November 9, 2026, Judge Joel Bennathan sentenced Brand to 10.5 years in prison for raping one fan and sexually assaulting three others, calling him a 'sexual predator' whose fame had enabled abuse.
  • Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy called the conviction a 'wake-up call' on Sunday, warning that such exploitation is 'probably happening today' in entertainment and urging organizations to adopt whistleblower protections.
