A 2013 Vogue interview in which Katy Perry described ex-husband Russell Brand's behavior during their marriage as "very controlling" is resurfacing online this week, following Brand's conviction and sentencing on rape and sexual assault charges in London.

In the interview, Perry said Brand seemed to struggle with her growing authority on tour as her career expanded, and that she initially blamed herself for their 2012 split before later saying she learned "the real truth" about the relationship, without elaborating. The comments were not part of the criminal case against Brand and did not address the allegations directly.
