Katy Perry’s chilling nickname for former husband Russell Brand has been revealed amid accusations of sexual assault against him. Last week, a joint investigation by The Times, The Sunday Times, and Channel 4’s Dispatches revealed that accusations of sexual assault and rape have been raised by four separate women against Brand. The comedian took to his YouTube channel to deny the accusations before they were made public and claimed that all of his relationships were “consensual”. Musician Perry and comedian Brand married in 2010 before officially divorcing two years later in 2012. Now, Piers Morgan has revealed the nickname Perry used to call him during their relationship. In his The Sun column, Morgan said in 2013 he asked Perry if she wanted to sit down and talk about her divorce, which she declined, saying that she was “not ready yet”. Morgan claims Perry added: “Because you’ll get the truth out of me, and ‘I’m just not ready to tell you the truth! In fact, I’m not sure I’m ready to admit the truth to myself.” In the column, he also claimed that Perry used to call Brand “Rasputin” after Siberian man Grigori Rasputin, who was known for seducing women and befriending the imperial family of Tsar Nicholas II to gain influence. Morgan alleged Perry explained: “You Brits are all the same, so damn confident… Trouble is, I find that irresistible. I love Brits… Well, not all of them – not Rasputin, obviously.” Morgan said that he went on to tell Brand who reportedly said: “He was a pretty powerful bloke, he could manipulate folk with his eyes. “I like Rasputin... he was all right, wasn’t he... a mad monk with magical, mystical powers, having it off with everyone, drinking and getting into fights.” Though their divorce was finalised in 2012, it is alleged that 14 months into their marriage in October 2010, Brand sent Perry a text message saying he had filed for divorce.

Taylor Swift fans have told billionaire Musk exactly where to go after the X/Twitter CEO told her what to do with her music. In a social media post, the global superstar singer revealed more information about her upcoming album and finally gave fans the answers to the names of the tracks that will be appearing on it. The new album, titled 1989 (Taylor’s Version), is a re-record of her fifth studio album, which will also feature five unheard “vault” songs that will be completely new to her listeners. After having fans on a wild goose chase all day, she revealed: “It’s a new soundtrack. Here are the back covers and vault track titles for 1989 (my version) I can’t wait for this one to be out, seriously. “Thank you for playing along, sleuthing, puzzling and making these reveals so much chaotic fun (which is the best kind of fun, after all).” In the replies, Musk gave Swift some unsolicited advice that appears to have rubbed the Swifties up the wrong way. He wrote: “I recommend posting some music or concert videos directly on the X platform.” One fan told Musk exactly what they thought of that, writing: “GET A JOB STAY AWAY FROM HER FRE*K.” Another person mocked: “Great point. If she posted some videos of her singing she could become a millionaire in no time from the ad revenue.” “No one asked, babe,” said someone else. One Swiftie argued: “She's so powerful she has a literal billionaire looking for clout from her.” Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.
