Popstar's Unique Moniker for Ex-Husband Unveiled
In a recent interview, Piers Morgan shared an interesting tidbit about Katy Perry's nickname for her ex-husband, Russell Brand. According to Morgan, Perry referred to Brand as "Rasputin," in reference to the infamous Russian figure known for his seductive ways and influence in the Russian court. Brand, who appeared on Morgan's show in 2011, was reportedly thrilled by the moniker.
The Chaotic End of Perry and Brand's Marriage
Perry and Brand's 14-month marriage came to an end in 2012, a time during which Brand has described as "chaotic." While Perry has never publicly spoken about the reasons behind their breakup, she recently hinted at the real truth behind their split during an interview with Vogue. The popstar stated, "I felt a lot of responsibility for it ending, but then I found out the real truth, which I can't necessarily disclose because I keep it locked in my safe for a rainy day."
Brand's Troubles Continue
Amidst Perry's revelation, additional allegations have surfaced against Brand. Four women have accused the comedian of rape and sexual assault during the height of his fame between 2006 and 2013. Brand denies all of the allegations, claiming that his sexual relationships were consensual. YouTube has suspended adverts on Brand's channel as a result of the allegations, potentially costing him £1 million a year in earnings.
Uncomfortable Encounters with Brand
Brand's behavior towards women has received criticism from various sources. Fearne Cotton recently unfollowed Brand on Instagram, despite previously referring to his wife, Laura, as her "best mate." TV presenter Lorraine Kelly also recalled an uncomfortable encounter with Brand on The Graham Norton Show in 2007, where he called her a "slut."
In light of the allegations, the BBC and Channel 4 have removed episodes and podcasts featuring Brand from their platforms. This includes episodes of Big Brother, Bake Off, and QI.
Brand's Brand Takes a Hit
The recent allegations have had a significant impact on Brand's career. With YouTube suspending advertisements on his channel and networks pulling his content, the comedian could face substantial financial losses in addition to the damage to his reputation.
While the truth behind Perry and Brand's relationship remains a mystery, it is clear that the couple's colorful past continues to make headlines. The chilling nickname given to Brand by Perry adds to the intrigue surrounding their failed marriage.
