Katy Perry’s Comments About ‘Controlling’ Ex-Husband Russell Brand Resurface After Prison Sentence

Perry’s 2013 Vogue remarks about Brand’s behavior resurfaced after his 10-year sentence for rape and sexual assault, renewing attention on their brief marriage.

  • On Monday, November 9, 2026, Southwark Crown Court in London sentenced Russell Brand to 10 years and six months for rape and sexual assault, reigniting scrutiny of ex-wife Katy Perry's 2013 remarks about their marriage.
  • Perry, who married Brand in 2010, described their 14-month relationship as "very controlling" in a 2013 Vogue interview, saying the comedian disliked "the atmosphere of me being the boss on tour."
  • A jury at the court convicted Brand, 51, of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault against four women, with Mr Justice Bennathan emphasizing that victims "retain the right to say no."
  • Following their 2011 separation, Perry hinted in 2013 that she discovered "the real truth" about the relationship breakdown, keeping the details "locked in my safe for a rainy day."
  • These resurfaced comments are unrelated to the criminal case, as the offenses occurred between 2004 and 2009, and authorities confirmed Perry provided no witness statement during the investigation into Brand.
