Perry revealed that Brand had ended their marriage by sending her a text message on 31 December 2011. And, she never heard from him again.

Perry explained that Brand first wanted a partner who was his equal. Things changed when her career grew, and she became the boss on tour.

"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,” Perry told the publication.

She said he struggled with that shift. She described his behaviour as controlling, which hurt her deeply and left lasting emotional scars.

“He didn’t like the atmosphere of me being the boss on tour. So, that was really hurtful, and it was very controlling, which was upsetting," Perry added.
