    BREAKING NEWS- REASONABLE PEOPLE GO THROUGH WELL PLANNED AMICABLE DIVORCE

    While it was amicable, I remember reading that Perry was pretty broken up about it.

    What's not understandable is that he didn't foresee this issue (or didn't think it would remain an issue) before they got married.

    [–]RedDeadWhore [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

    I think alot of what had too do with it was that Brand is a recovering alcoholic and she also wanted to party and drink all the time. It was very damaging to him.

    They didn't have a prenup, and he wasn't entitled to get stuff from her, he was entitled to half their joint assets, just turns out she was worth a lot more than him.

    [–]triguy6161 [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

    I don't think you understand how marriage works. Everything you own becomes both people's property. When you divorce, you have a case for taking half or some other percentage you agree upon or the court decides, unless there's a prenup.

    [–]mementosmentos [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

    Depends on state. If it's CA, then it's community property!

    [–]johhan [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

    This is not standardized across all countries, or even all US states, though. In many states, your spouse is not entitled to any money that comes from work performed before the marriage, but half of everything obtained during the marriage. It's likely that Perry made 44 million more than Brand did during their ill-fated union.

          Or not. I could only find articles in gossip magazines like this one in The Daily Mail:

          "Karen Berg, a spiritual adviser to Madonna, is reported to have said that Ritchie underwent the surgeon’s knife to please his then-wife, according to New York magazine."

          Someone allegedly said that he did. Not exactly strong proof.

            [–]rostof70 47ポイント48ポイント  (15子コメント)

            They were married for 3 years so he could have earned $7.33 mil per year or $3.67 mil per year per boob. Or $2,009 per day per boob. Those were some expensive boobs.

            [–]wllmsaccnt 34ポイント35ポイント  (11子コメント)

            I'm guessing he didn't marry her boobs while thinking about it as an investment. Maybe he actually liked her.

            [–]odaeyss 28ポイント29ポイント  (3子コメント)

            Boobs are a terrible market to invest in, they simply do not appreciate in value long-term.

            He claims he left her because he couldn't get enough of her (scheduling issues, differences in views about children, etc...) and he didnt want the millions of dollars that he would have been entitled to for leaving her.

            Normally I am cynical, but nothing here implies he married her for money (though I willing to admit he may have married her for the marketability and image changes that would come with being married to Katy, potentially increasing his own marketability as an actor).

              The following quote might explain why he told her he wanted a divorce on the telephone:

              “When I got divorced, I considered becoming a monk," he purportedly said. "When you’re a monk, you’re not allowed to have sex with anyone. When you’re married, it’s one person. That’s one more than a monk. It’s not that different. I’d be having sex thinking, ‘Think of anyone, anyone else.'"

              [–]Cockwombles 21ポイント22ポイント  (3子コメント)

              He's a sex addict, but that doesn't make him a bad person. I'm sure it would make marriage difficult but that's not to say it was the reason they split up.

              I never understood the argument "oh he's trying to make himself sound smarter than he actually is" but like, if he's using the word correctly he clearly is smart enough to use it. so why not? He's a stand up, his career is built on using words.

              And to add that he is a stand up comedian. Which, for the majority of them, can think fast on their feet. So when you have the ability to speak eloquently, knowledgeable and speak on the fly you will come across as intelligent.

              And this comes from a guy who don't watch his youtube videos anymore because some things I think are just straight up bullshit. But works for many people, like did for him.

              I don't think Americans have had an accurate portrayal of Brand, in the UK his image is more dated and we've come to see him in several different ways. The US on the other hand have only seen him as a blabbering idiot with a funny accent, he is hat but he's also a little bit more than that.

              Going against Paxman is an achievement, that alone is worth commemorating, especially considering he amount of ammo Paxman had.

              I think he plays with it in a fun and interesting way. I hate anti-intellectualism, it's lazy. And I love hearing intelligent prose said in non-clipped accent.

              This is the end. This is time to wake up. I remember I seen you in that program where you look at your ancestors and you saw the way your grandmother would have to brass herself or had to have got fucked over by the aristocrats who ran her gaff, and you cried because you knew that it was unfair and unjust. And that was, what was that, a century ago? That’s happening to people now. I just come from a woman who’s being treated like that. I just been talking to a woman today who’s being treated like that. So if we can engage that feeling, instead of some moment of lachrymose sentimentality trotted out on the TV for people to pore over emotional porn, if we can engage that feeling and change things, why wouldn’t we? Why is that naive? Why is that not my right because I’m an actor? I mean, I, I’ve taken the right. I don’t need the right from you. I don’t need the right from anybody. I’m taking it.

                  I know that his sex addiction is one of the major factors of there divorce, but I'm really curious about why there is so much animosity from Katy Perry towards Russell Brand. In multiple interviews he has said that he wishes they were still friends at least, but she has made it very clear she want's absolutely nothing to do with him. I remember during the Super Bowl he tweeted a sincere "Good Luck" to her, and her people made it very clear that she didn't appreciate him doing that and that she was offended by it.

                  I've always wondered if she's just broken hearted or did more happen than what we know about the divorce?
