Old Photo of Russell Brand, Katy Perry and Justin Bieber Draws Scrutiny

A photo from the 2010 American Music Awards showing Russell Brand and Katy Perry beside a 16-year-old Justin Bieber is drawing renewed attention online. Fans have described the image as uncomfortable, as Brand faces prison after being found guilty of rape and sexual assault.

In the picture, Perry and Brand flank Bieber. Brand, wearing a shirt and waistcoat, has a hand against the teenager’s face; Bieber looks away from the camera, while Perry poses with one hand on his chest. The image was reposted on X on November 9 and had also been uploaded to Reddit seven months earlier, where the poster said it felt awkward to look at.

The renewed discussion has come amid Brand’s legal troubles. On November 5, he was found guilty on one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault. The source says he was sentenced to 10 years and 6 months in prison. One Reddit commenter called the photo “creepy as hell” and listed other people they believed had preyed on Bieber. Bieber has made no statements accusing Brand of misconduct. More than 60 users agreed with another comment: “Any picture of Russell Brand is uncomfortable.”

Perry discussed her brief marriage to Brand in a 2013 Vogue interview, saying he disliked the atmosphere of her being the boss on tour. “It was very controlling,” she said. Perry added that she had felt responsible for the marriage ending, but later concluded the cause was “beyond me” and said she had moved on.
