## Summary

New coverage has added details of Katy Perry’s earlier account of her marriage to Russell Brand, whose sentencing has brought her 2013 comments back into focus. Perry described Brand’s behaviour as controlling and said their relationship was hurtful, but has not commented publicly on his legal case.

Perry said Brand disliked her being in charge on tour and that she initially blamed herself for their split before deciding it was not her fault. They married in 2010, separated the following year and divorced in 2012. Brand was acquitted of two rape charges and attempted indecent assault, convicted of one rape and three sexual assaults, and sentenced to more than 10 years in prison; Perry was not mentioned at his trial.
