In a 2013 interview with Vogue, Perry said Brand struggled with her authority while she was touring. “He didn’t like the atmosphere of me being the boss on tour. So that was really hurtful, and it was very controlling, which was upsetting,” she said. She also recalled initially feeling responsible for the marriage’s end, but said she later stopped blaming herself: “This isn’t because of me; this is beyond me.”
The couple met in 2009 while Brand was working on the film “Get Him to the Greek” and married in India in October 2010. Their marriage lasted about 14 months. In late 2011, Brand told Perry by text that he was filing for divorce, reportedly shortly before she was due to perform. The moment appeared in her 2012 documentary, “Katy Perry: Part of Me”; Perry later told Vogue she had not spoken to him since receiving the message.
The Mail on Sunday reported that Perry has received offers to tell her story and is now considering a “Netflix-type series” and an autobiography. A Hollywood source quoted by the newspaper said Perry and her team had been in active discussions and described the marriage as “a very dark period” in her life. Representatives have reportedly contacted streaming platforms including Netflix and Hulu, but no deal has been announced.
Perry has not publicly commented on Brand’s conviction. She was mentioned in legal submissions relating to an allegation by a Channel 4 employee, but the prosecution agreed not to refer to her during the trial. The Crown Prosecution Service said she was not approached by police, asked for a witness statement or called to testify.
On November 5, Brand was found guilty in London of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault. The convictions concerned allegations by several women over incidents said to have taken place between 1999 and 2009. Brand had pleaded not guilty and was sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison.
