Russell Brand Flashes ‘Obey’ Card at Katy Perry During Oscars

The clip has drawn millions of views as commenters say the interaction looks more sinister after Brand was found guilty of rape and sexual assault.

  • A 2010 video of Russell Brand flashing an 'Obey' card at Katy Perry on the Oscars red carpet resurfaced on X this week, going viral following Brand's rape conviction on Thursday.
  • Brand, 51, was found guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault on Thursday at Southwark Crown Court, where he remains in custody pending sentencing.
  • Viewers labeled the interaction 'bizarre' and 'uncomfortable,' with the clip receiving more than three million views on X. Analysts suggest Brand was posing as an anti-Hollywood 'bad boy philosopher' when he flashed the card.
  • Katy Perry is reportedly in 'active discussions' to detail her 14-month marriage to Brand in a book and docuseries, having previously stated at a summer concert that he 'should be in jail.'
  • Judge Mr Justice Bennathan warned Brand he faces 'a custodial sentence of some length' at his sentencing on Monday. Police are investigating two additional alleged rapes, including one involving a 16-year-old victim.
