Russell Brand's conviction revives scrutiny of his brief marriage to Katy Perry
The Independent reported that the brief marriage between Russell Brand and Katy Perry, which ended with a breakup text in 2011, has resurfaced after Brand was sentenced to a lengthy prison term for rape and sexual assault; Perry, now linked to former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau, reflected on the relationship. Yahoo noted that Perry's 2013 interview describing Brand as controlling reappeared in media coverage following his sentence.
The Independent also said that archival 2010 interview clips of the couple were shared online after the conviction, and that public figures Neil Oliver and Megyn Kelly publicly backed Brand, while his wife Laura Gallacher testified to his caring nature in court. LADbible shared a red-carpet footage clip of the pair as Brand awaited sentencing.
