Katy Perry in 'active discussions' over documentary detailing her 'dark marriage' to Russell Brand
Sources say Perry is weighing a tell-all project after Brand’s conviction, with her team in talks with Netflix and Hulu, officials said.
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.
