Comments Katy Perry made about ex-husband Russell Brand in 2013 resurfaced after multiple women accused him of sexual assault
Katy Perry’s comments about ex-husband Russell Brand resurfaced after he was accused of sexual assault by multiple women.
Perry, 38, described Brand, 48, as “very controlling” in a 2013 interview with Vogue — and admitted she didn’t want to publicly share everything that led to their 2011 split. “At first when I met him he wanted an equal, and I think a lot of times strong men do want an equal, but then they get that equal and they’re like, I can’t handle the equalness,” she said at the time. “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 continued: “I felt a lot of responsibility for it ending, but then I found out the real truth, which I can’t necessarily disclose because I keep it locked in my safe for a rainy day. I let go and I was like: This isn’t because of me; this is beyond me. So I have moved on from that.”
Brand and Perry tied the knot in October 2010 after a whirlwind romance that began in 2009.
