Russell Brand was sentenced to 10-and-a-half years in prison after being convicted of rape and sexual assaults. Before the case, Piers Morgan says, Brand was 'thrilled' when Katy Perry made an apparent comparison between him and Rasputin.

Morgan recounted the conversation in an opinion piece in The Sun. Perry and Brand were married for 14 months between 2010 and 2011, and their divorce was finalised in 2012. Morgan said Perry made the remark to him at a Vanity Fair event in Washington, DC, the following year.
