Katy Perry’s father said he forgives Russell Brand for leaving the pop star after their short 14-month marriage
Katy Perry’s father says he has forgiven Russell Brand for abandoning his daughter after just 14 months of marriage.
Christian preacher Keith Hudson, 76, told The Mail on Sunday he harbored no animosity towards the comedian, who ended the marriage via text message on New Year’s Eve 2011.
He said, ‘I forgive him.’ We all had our pasts, but thank God we were forgiven.’
Pop star Perry, 38, told Vogue in 2013: “I felt a huge responsibility for the ending.”
“Then I found out the real truth, which I can’t necessarily reveal because I keep it locked in my safe for a rainy day.” I thought, ‘It’s not me; That’s a mystery to me.’

Her father refused to reveal what information his daughter had kept to himself: “I can’t say anything because I’ll get in trouble.”
Perry has declined to comment since Brand was accused of raping one woman and sexually assaulting at least three others between 2006 and 2013.
Her spokesman also declined to comment.
Brand is now married to author Laura Gallacher, sister of Sky Sports presenter Kirsty.
