Overview
- Brand used a recent Megyn Kelly Show interview to say he mishandled his 2010–2012 marriage to Katy Perry and took total responsibility for it.
- He said he has not spoken with Perry since he asked for a divorce in December 2011 and that he remains in touch with her parents, Keith and Mary Hudson.
- He reacted to Ruby Rose’s allegation by expressing sympathy and then questioning whether the described conduct constituted a crime during the on-air exchange.
- Ruby Rose alleged in an April 12 social media post that Perry assaulted her about 20 years ago in Melbourne, a claim Perry denies as Australian police conduct a criminal inquiry.
- He also criticized Perry’s reported relationship with Justin Trudeau, attacking his record on Canada’s 2022 trucker protests and a Parliament honors scandal, while he separately faces a UK trial later this year on rape and sexual assault charges.
