Katy Perry to drop bombshell Russell Brand details she ‘kept locked in safe’
Katy Perry’s comments about her marriage to Russell Brand have resurfaced ahead of his sentencing for sexual offences. In a 2013 interview, she said she had learnt the “real truth” about why their relationship ended but was keeping it “locked in my safe for a rainy day”.
Perry and Brand were married for 14 months before separating in 2011, and she described their relationship as chaotic and his attitude towards her career as controlling. Brand was convicted of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault, and cleared of two other rape charges and attempted indecent assault; his barrister said Perry might have been present during one assault, but she was not asked to testify or approached by police.
In short
