Russell Brand Left Katy Perry Via Text Message?

In 2012, we added Russell Brand and Katy Perry’s marriage to the ever-expanding list of short-lived, unsuccessful marriages between two Hollywood stars.

Russell Brand speaks freely of his decision to end things with Katy, informing us all that he couldn’t stomach the celebrity way of life he had to lead while being married to her. In his new documentary BRAND: A Second Coming, he opens up even more about their failed relationship.

Here’s what he says:

“Oh my f**king god. I’m living, like, this life of the very thing I detest: vapid, vacuous celebrity.”

Visiting Africa in 2010 strongly affected Russell and Katy’s relationship, and he still claims that trip was one of the bigger reasons they broke up. Katy, on the other hand, says that the reason for their divorce was that Russell just couldn’t stand her being “the boss” while they were on tour. She also reveals that Russell informed her of his intention to divorce her via text message.
