Katy Perry reportedly said her ex “should be in jail” in the months leading up to Russell Brand’s guilty verdict on rape and sexual assault charges.

According to Bang Showbiz, Perry was onstage in Oxfordshire, England, on July 1 when she began playing an interactive game with the audience — in which she instructed audience members to act out having spotted an ex.

The “Firework” songstress reportedly joked, “I hope my ex isn’t here. He should be in jail.”

Reps for Brand and Perry did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment on Wednesday.

Perry — who was married to Brand from 2010 to 2012 and now shares daughter Daisy Dove, 6, with ex-fiancé Orlando Bloom — previously said in 2013 that her ex-husband was “controlling.”

“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,” the Grammy winner told Vogue at the time.

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

While the “Teenage Dream” hitmaker said she “felt a lot of responsibility for [the marriage] ending,” she ultimately decided the split wasn’t “because of me; this is beyond me.” She concluded, “So I have moved on from that.”

Perry has been dating former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau since July 2025.

Brand — who married Laura Gallacher, with whom he shares three children, in 2017 — was convicted of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault in a London court last week.

Page Six previously reported that he’s now incarcerated at HMP Wandsworth in London and will be there “for the next few weeks,” according to solicitor Kally Sahota.

Sahota told us that the disgraced comedian will eventually be transferred to a different prison taking “security, safety and rehabilitation needs” into account.

The “Get Me to the Greek” star, 51, was sentenced to 10 years and six months on Monday in the case, which involved six accusers.

A former prisoner at HMP Wandsworth alleged to the US Sun that Brand “is in real trouble” a “dead man walking” while doing time at the facility.

The comedian — whom the Daily Mail reported is “trying not to show fear” and “praying for hours on end” while behind bars — will need to “survive until he’s got his permanent move,” the former inmate told the Sun.
