‘Disgusting’ red carpet interaction between Russell Brand and Katy Perry resurfaces after his conviction

Following Russell Brand's conviction for rape and sexual assault the internet has been revisiting old footage of him and finding things they don't like.

Brand was convicted on one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault at Southwark Crown Court on Thursday (5 November), and acquitted on two further counts of rape and one of attempted indecent assault.

He will be sentenced tomorrow (9 November) and the judge told him to expect 'a significant custodial term'.

One of the parts of his past the internet has resurfaced is his relationship with Katy Perry, who he was married to between 2010 and 2012, and a particular video of them on the red carpet has been called out as 'disgusting'.

They were being interviewed on the red carpet in Los Angeles when Perry revealed that Brand hadn't seen something he'd been asked about, with the interviewer saying 'you've just put him right in it now'.

Saying she 'called him on his bull', Brand fiddled around for a small tag which appeared to say 'Obey' on it, and people seeing the clip again are worried that his message was quite clear.

Brand held up the tag in front of Perry, then went on a lengthy monologue himself.

When the interviewer asked Perry 'how do you deal with this' he started walking off while still holding her hand while she said that Brand was 'actually hilarious' as she was pulled away.

One parting comment from the interviewer was addressed to Perry as she was told 'I'm glad you find him funny'.

Those revisiting the clip have said it's disgusting' and the 'strangest interaction', while several others said that Brand holding up a sign saying 'Obey' on it when he wanted Perry to stop talking gave them 'the ick'.

These days Brand is about to hear his prison sentence and Perry appears to still be together with Canada's former prime minister Justin Trudeau.

Perry said that Brand ended things with her via text and contact between them pretty much stopped from there.

In 2013 she told Vogue: “He’s a very smart man, and I was in love with him when I married him.

"At first when I met him he wanted an equal, and I think a lot of times strong men do want an equal, but then they get that equal and they’re like, I can’t handle the equalness."

She then went on to say that he'd texted her on 31 December, 2011 to say he was divorcing her and that was basically the last she heard from him.

They finalised their divorce several months later in 2012.
