Is Russell Brand trashing ‘vapid’ Katy Perry in his new film’s trailer?

Katy Perry

In August, a rumor started about how Russell Brand would feature his time with Katy Perry in a new documentary. I didn’t believe the story because Rusty seems to have wholly forgotten that brief period in time when he pretended to be monogamous. Still, he has not trashed Katy in public, although she slammed him to the press for a few years and even signed those divorce papers with a happy face.

Rusty’s new documentary is about to drop, and it looks like maybe he does talk about his long-forgotten marriage. Can you believe they were ever together? Even after looking at photos, it seems like a world away. In this trailer for Brand: The Second Coming, Russell says stuff like “Oh my f***ing god. I’m living this life of the very thing I detest. Vapid, vacuous celebrity. Fame and power is bullsh*t.” Now, he could very well be talking about celebrity existence in general. Dude is a bit of a philosopher, but people do think he’s talking about Katy:

Actually, it kinda does sound like he’s referring to the time he briefly went “Hollywood,” which coincides with the year or so that he spent with Katy. At one point in the film, Noel Gallagher of Oasis reportedly discusses what a terrible couple the two made together, and how he knew it wouldn’t last. Is this really necessary? Rusty is doing one of his crazy “social movement” type productions, so I don’t know why he’d want or need to drag Katy. Ah well. Here I am again, defending Katy Perry. These are strange times, indeed.
