00:16Past comments by Katy Perry are resurfacing, where she called out her ex-husband and now
00:21convicted rapist, Russell Brand, for upsetting behavior during their marriage.
00:26The two were married for 14 months. According to The Telegraph, Russell Brand's legal
00:29team blocked prosecutors from bringing up their failed union at his trial.
00:34But a 2013 interview with the pop star revealed the dynamics that led to her divorce from Brand.
00:38Perry told Vogue magazine,
00:40He didn't like the atmosphere of me being the boss on tour. It was very controlling, which was upsetting.
00:46But she wasn't finished. Perry went on to say,
00:48At first when I met him, he wanted an equal. And I think a lot of times strong men do
00:53want an equal.
00:54But then they get that equal and they're like, I can't handle the equalness.
00:57The singer went on to make a cryptic comment that she felt a lot of responsibility for
01:02the end of the romance until she, quote, found out the real truth.
01:05But she was cagey about what that comment meant, adding,
01:08I can't necessarily disclose because I keep it locked in my safe for a rainy day.
