Katy Perry never had many nice things to say about Russell Brand once their marriage collapsed. With Brand now convicted, fans are digging up her past remarks.

In a 2013 magazine interview, the pop star said her former husband was "very controlling." She claimed he did not like the idea of her calling the shots while she was out on tour.

Perry also said she first pinned the blame for the divorce on herself. That changed once she learned what she described as "the real truth" about why it ended. She never shared the details, saying she was saving that story for a rainy day.

An awkward red carpet moment

A clip from a 2010 red carpet chat with the pair is also getting a second look.

In the video Perry teases Brand for acting like he had seen the Oscars. He responds by telling her not to swear. Brand then seems to show off a tiny button with the word "Obey" printed on it, a moment that lands very differently today.

Perry used that same 2013 chat to remember a night Brand made her the punchline of his stand-up act. According to Perry, he had no idea she was in the crowd.

A short marriage

The two wed in 2010. Things fell apart quickly. Brand told Perry by text in December 2011 that he was filing for divorce.

Perry did not mince words this summer either. At a July show in England a fan asked how she would react if she spotted her ex. Her reply: "I hope my ex isn't here. He should be in jail!"

On Monday Brand was handed a prison term of 10 years and six months. A jury had found him guilty of one count of rape along with three counts of sexual assault.
