Disturbing Russell Brand and Ex-Wife Katy Perry Footage Resurfaces Amid His Criminal Conviction
Russell Brand is facing the consequences of his horrendous actions. The British actor was sentenced to 10 years and six months for r— and s—– a——. Following the court’s verdict in his case, a video of Brand has resurfaced in which he can be seen acting unusually with his ex-wife Katy Perry and allegedly asking her to “obey” him.
Brand and Perry’s marriage was short-lived. The two first met on the sets of Get Him to the Greek in 2009. As the British actor popped the question to the pop star on their trip to India, they tied the knot in a Hindu ceremony in India on October 23, 2010. A little over a year later, Brand filed for divorce, which was finalized in July 2012.
According to The Independent, a clip of Brand and Perry resurfaced that hinted at what the dynamics in their marriage looked like. The footage was from the former couple’s red carpet appearance at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in 2010. When an interviewer asked Brand what he thought about the Oscar winner, the singer interrupted him, saying, “You didn’t watch it!”
Brand, who appeared to be a bit surprised, then tried to make a joke when the interviewer told Perry, “You just put him in it right now.” The British actor then argued, saying he watched the Academy Awards. However, his then-wife bluntly told the reporter, “I call him on his b——-.” As the former pair’s interaction with the interviewer continued, Brand pulled out a badge that read “Obey.”
He showed the badge to Perry, who then went silent. As the brief interview became awkward, the reporter asked the Dark Horse crooner how she dealt with Brand. In her response, Perry said, “He’s actually hilarious.” Many branded the Forgetting Sarah Marshall actor’s behavior “disturbing,” especially toward Perry.
Following their divorce, the pop star once set the record straight about what she thought of her ex-husband. During her concert at Blenheim Palace Festival in 2025, she had a segment where she interacted with her fans. As the text on the screen read, “I just saw my ex,” Perry responded, “I hope my ex isn’t here. He should be in jail.”
She did not clarify whom she was talking about at the concert. Following her divorce, she dated John Mayer on and off for four years. Later, Perry got engaged to Orlando Bloom during their years-long relationship. The former couple called off the engagement in July last year. The singer is currently dating Justin Trudeau.
Meanwhile, many are waiting for Perry to disclose details about her marriage with Brand. According to the Daily Mail, the 42-year-old singer is considering breaking her silence on her previous marriage. An insider claimed that she is actively discussing a documentary or a book to detail her “dark marriage.”
The insider said, “Katy has received multiple offers over the years to tell her story, but would not consider anything until after the trial. She has a lot to say.” They further claimed that the Harleys in Hawaii singer was considering a “Netflix-type series and an autobiography.” There have been “active discussions” regarding the project. The source also described her marriage as a “very dark period in her life.”
