From the article: “I felt a lot of responsibility for [their marriage] 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.”

So what does she have in that safe?
so she admits to, vaguely... possibly having evidence of illegal activity he did to release one day.... um okay.. isnt that like a crime?
shareits not a crime if the info is not about anything illegal. maybe he's bi, or gay, or kinky with unicorns.... nothing illegal, but could be brand damaging
sharei mean we already know he was a drug addicted, alcoholic and unpredictable toxic dick in his past.
What could be more damaging than that besides illegal activity?
shes just making pathetic veiled threats. and believe me i ahve no horse in this race, i dont like Brand.
Her statement infers some illegal, as these jurno articles have been released, however, her statement may actually be nothing related to crimes nor support the articles' claims. BUT, "we have to question!", "Brand is a rapist"! without any real information of such being provided.
It's a cliffhanger, she can provide, without breaking her own NDA regarding the couple's marriage. BUT we still have to "suspect".
It's merely an open-ended statement to damage someone she no longer cares about while upholding her NDA. It's just that simple.
**AND, NO. I am not excusing any of these allegations regarding RBrand; just trying to keep a level head about this situation.
There is nothing in Perry's statement that indicates she was aware that Brand could one day be accused of criminal activity. The quote has been brought up in connection to recent revelations by sensationalist newspapers -- but there is no good reason to believe she was referring to these current accusations in any way at all.
We simply have no idea what 'real truth' about Brand his ex-wife felt she had uncovered. But for one hypothetical example of the many things it could be: extramarital affair(s) she had been unaware of during the marriage. For another: she'd looked up Narcissistic Personality Disorder on the internet and many of the patterns of behaviour resonated with her experiences with Brand.
Of course, she could have been referring to these allegations or other similar allegations, in which case -- why not speak out? Perhaps she'd been given information that she believed, but didn't have the requisite evidence to reveal the story to the world because Brand is litigious and it wasn't her story to tell.

shareBrand molested me 1n 1933.
shareIs it true he made sweet unwanted love to you while this played on the radio?

Sooooo, she knew something that could have maybe helped other people avoid harm and she kept quiet.
Sounds like a nice person.
so.... woman withholding information that could help/support/protect other women?
nice job, women, way metoo it properly. (sarcasm) Gret teamwork! way to support those rape accusations, and make sure more women feel safe coming forward (10, 20, 30 years down the line)
The quote is from 2013. There weren't any rape allegations in 2013. We don't know what Katy Perry was even talking about. Just because the quote has resurfaced in articles about these allegations doesn't mean it's actually connected to them in any way.
'Russell Brand seems to have done some awful stuff and... oooh, look at this oblique thing his ex-wife said about him ten years ago.' So what?
It's kind of a tabloid journalist's grubby little job to make leaps of logic. We don't have to follow suit.
Isn’t it strange when so-called “allegations” that pop up 10 years after the so-called “fact”, they always involve someone the machine is targeting politically. ALWAYS.
The same people who lied across the board about Covid, vaccines, Russia collusion, Russia/Ukraine, 911, Iraq. But this time they’re surely telling “the truth”, because trust us.
How many lies does it take for a left-winger to wake up? Voyager is more likely to find out what’s beyond the edge of the universe before that question is answered.
Forgive me, but it's not at all clear to me how this response relates to my post -- which was a simple observation that a rather vague comment from Katy Perry ten years ago may not be connected to recent revelations about Russell Brand. It reads like a non sequitur.
shareYou don't think the difficulty in getting rape convictions and the heat it often brings on accusers has anything to do with women feeling hesitant to speak up on their own at the time?
shareI think a 30 year time frame is doing more damage. If someone hits my car, I start the process that day, not wait 30 years.
Maybe forcing a Statute of Limitations could help accusers to get some real justice. Without waiting 30 years
You're equating accusing someone of sexual assault and identifying yourself as a victim, with applying for payment for accidental damage. You clearly have no fucking grasp of what you're talking about.
shareWhy not report a crime immediately?
Or can it change from consent to crime over time? That seems pretty weird
It's not weird at all.
Do you think rape accusers are only treated with skepticism if there's a delay in reporting it as a crime? Do you understand how difficult a rape conviction can be even if reported timeously? Can you understand how that might make a victim hesitant to go through the process? And can you understand how, after some time has passed, someone might feel more tolerable of the slim chances of getting justice and prepared to go through the system anyway?
I do understand there are several sides to everything.
Maybe justice would work out better if:
- they didn't come YEARS or DECADES later when all evidence, proof, alibys, and witnesses are long, long gone, and everything comes down to heresay.
- women were known to have NEVER cried wolf once, never lied for money
if people want justice, they have to put their weak ass FEELINGS aside and fight for it like everyone else.
All this stuff does is tell women: you CAN get drunk and ploughed in college by your own choice, and change your mind later and get money. There's a WIN for society! :D
No no no, Mr Washington wouldn't hat of it
shareMarries rapist then tries to excuse herself all she was doing was feeding his ego marrying him, giving him more media attention, more chances for more rapes.
sharelol
That's BS
She was blaming herself - thinking that she was the reason why RB wasn't turned on in bed with her. Then she prolly found him with another dude and that's that.
Having said that, it's surprising that RB got married again and had 3 kids (3rd on the way).
I suspect we'll learn the 'truth' eventually.
BTW - I'm drawing these conclusion from 2 sources - her comment and the fact that RB always acted pretty darn feminine - trying to kiss dudes that sat next to him during interviews (it was always played off as a joke, but his behavior was similar to that of Andy Dick in those days).
Truth is, his transformation in the last 3 years was astounding (could be longer - I didn't follow his career after observing his Andy Dick-like behavior in a number of interviews 15-20 years ago). Is it his new religious beliefs that changed him? Is it just the age? It's hard to tell if he was acting before or if he acting now? Or if perhaps there was indeed this incredible transformation that he went through.
I think Brand probably couldn't get it up with Perry because he couldn't handle being the lesser celebrity in that relationship.
I once saw Simon Amstell's live show and he talked about how his unnamed "friendy-wend" would proposition every single woman in the street with "you know who I am?"
Could be - there are actual scientific studies on that subject. If a woman makes more money than man - divorces are more common when compared to instances where the situation is reversed, and early onset of male impotence, too.
Again though - I've recall him displaying Andy Dick behavior on more than one occasion back in the day - so I'm not ruling out him being bi. Heck, Hollywood fucks over a lot of people - an evil place that corrupts the souls of those who get too close to the core.
No I mean he used his fame (such as it was) to get away with behaving badly. But he couldn't hack it with Perry because she was the actually famous one in the relationship.
I have no interested in his sexuality and it has never once been an issue in the press either.
I'm not talking about the press - I'm merely providing my own interpretation of Perry's cryptic remark. And I'm using my recollection of his behavior back in the day as supportive evidence.
