Trudeau Reportedly Won’t Interfere With Perry’s Plans to Discuss Brand

The source said Trudeau has generally avoided discussions about Brand but supports Perry when she chooses to raise the subject. He would reportedly offer advice or help if she asked, while leaving her in control of how she tells her story.

Perry has allegedly discussed both projects with representatives and received offers to tell her story in the past, but sources say she waited until Brand’s criminal trial had concluded. The proposed documentary could cover her personal and professional experiences, rather than focus solely on the marriage. A separate source told People that Perry is focused on raising her daughter, Daisy Dove, and building a future with Trudeau.

A jury found Brand guilty on November 5 of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault involving four women. He was acquitted of two other rape charges and one count of attempted indecent assault. Brand denied the allegations during the trial and was sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison on November 9.

Perry and Brand married in October 2010; their marriage ended 14 months later. Perry has said Brand told her he was ending the marriage in a text message shortly before she was due to perform. In a 2013 interview, she described aspects of the relationship as controlling and said she had learned things about the marriage she was not ready to disclose.

The Daily Mail source said Trudeau would view a similar discussion about Perry’s former partner Orlando Bloom differently, because he knows and respects Bloom as the father of Perry’s child. Perry and Bloom confirmed their separation in July 2025 and continue to share parenting responsibilities. Brand had previously criticized Trudeau and called him a “globalist stooge”; there is no indication Trudeau responded directly.
