Katy Perry parties in Thailand as ex Russell Brand jailed

Katy Perry performed a private concert in Phang Nga, Thailand, on November 8, earning approximately $4 million. This event took place while her ex-husband, Russell Brand, was awaiting sentencing in London. Brand later received a sentence of 10 years and six months for one count of rape and three sexual assaults.

Attendees at Perry's concert described her as happy and seemingly distant from Brand's legal proceedings. Footage showed her performing hits like "Firework" and "Roar" for employees of cybersecurity giant Wiz. The company had organized a lavish retreat in Thailand following a major acquisition.

Perry and Brand were married from October 2010 to July 2012. Brand reportedly ended their marriage via text message shortly before Perry was set to perform on tour. She has described him as "very controlling" and stated she has not spoken to him since.

Brand's sentencing on November 9 follows his conviction for raping and sexually assaulting four women between 2004 and 2009. Judge Joel Bennathan described Brand as a "sexual predator" who believed fame exempted him from societal rules. He emphasized that women always retain the right to refuse consent and seek justice.
