Katy Perry once claimed to know the “real truth” about Russell Brand, who has now been accused of raping four women – but promised to “keep it in my safe for a rainy day.”
The cryptic comments from Perry, who split from Brand in 2012 after the English comedian asked for a divorce via text, came in a 2013 Vogue interview.
Brand is primarily accused in an attack that occurred just months after her divorce from the pop phenomenon.
“I felt a lot of responsibility for it to end, but then I found out the real truth, which I didn’t necessarily reveal because I kept it in my safe for a rainy day,” the singer said. “I let go and I was like: This is not because of me; this is beyond me. So I’ve moved on from that.”
Perry refused to elaborate on what he knew about Brand, with fans speculating at the time that Brand might be jealous and unsupportive of his ex-wife’s fame, which was beyond him.
The theory emerged after the “American Idol” judge said Brand didn’t like her being “the boss,” and described him as “very controlling” in an interview with Vogue.

Although the pop singer has remained silent about her ex, her earlier comments have resurfaced following allegations leveled against Brand that he sexually assaulted four women, including a 16-year-old, between 2006 and 2013, according to a joint investigation published on Saturday. by the Times of London and Channel 4 Dispatches.
Following the report, the BBC – where Brand was working as a radio presenter at the time of the first attack – said it was launching its own internal investigation into the allegations. Production company Banijay UK launched its own investigation.
One of the accusers, named Nadia, claimed that the English actress raped her “against a wall” in her Los Angeles home in July 2012, five months after her divorce from Perry was finalised.

Nadia was treated at a rape crisis center the same day, according to medical records cited by investigative reporters.
At the time, Perry was completely out of Brand’s life, with the “Roar” singer telling Vogue: “Let’s just say I haven’t heard from her since she texted me saying she divorced me on December 31, 2011.”
The moment was especially painful for Perry, who was depicted in the documentary “Part of Me” as she sobbed after receiving his goodbye text before she was set to perform on stage.

The pair have been together since 2009 — they met after she made a cameo in his movie, “Get Him to the Greek,” and the pair officially started dating after that year’s MTV Video Music Awards.
Perry and Brand married the following year, with their marriage lasting only 14 months.
In 2016, Perry met actor Orlando Bloom, who proposed to her in 2019. The couple are engaged and share a 3-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove.
