UPDATE: Comedian Russell Brand publicly criticized his ex-wife Katy Perry for dating former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during a Turning Point USA event in Phoenix on Thursday. Brand’s remarks come amidst growing media attention on Perry’s new relationship with Trudeau.
Speaking to a crowd of over 6,000 attendees, Brand expressed his disapproval of Perry’s romantic choice, saying, “I was okay with Orlando Bloom, but Justin Trudeau? C’mon, man! Don’t put me in a category with that guy! That globalist stooge.” His comments drew a mixed reaction from the audience, highlighting the emotional undertones of his words.
Brand’s remarks add a personal layer to the narrative of Perry’s dating life, as the couple was married from 2010 to 2012. Brand’s emotional connection to Perry was evident as he continued, “I love her still, and I’m glad that her mom’s in the room to hear me say this.”
Perry and Trudeau’s relationship first sparked rumors earlier this month when they were spotted dining together in Montreal. Reports suggest that the two have been spending significant time together, including attending a concert where Perry hinted at her new romance. On October 30, during a concert stop in Prague, Perry confirmed she was dating someone but did not disclose the identity of her new partner at that time.
In a recent Instagram post, Perry made her relationship with Trudeau official, sharing photos from their time together in Japan. The post included a heartfelt message, “Your happiness is our happiness. All the love to you!”
Brand’s on-stage comments have reignited discussions about his past with Perry. In a 2013 interview, Perry described Brand as “a very smart man, a magical man,” but also revealed the challenges they faced during their marriage, including feelings of control and hurt.
Following her marriage to Brand, Perry moved on to high-profile relationships with musician John Mayer and actor Orlando Bloom. Perry and Bloom, who share a daughter, ended their decade-long relationship this past July.
As the entertainment world buzzes with news of Perry and Trudeau’s budding romance, Brand’s comments serve as a reminder of the complex emotions surrounding celebrity relationships. Brand’s vocal disapproval also raises questions about the dynamics of their past marriage and its lingering effects on their current lives.
As this story develops, fans and followers are eager to see how Perry and Trudeau’s relationship unfolds, especially in light of Brand’s public comments. Keep an eye on further updates as the situation continues to evolve.
