Although Perry has not publicly commented on Brand's conviction, she previously spoke candidly about the difficulties she experienced during their marriage.
In a 2013 interview, the singer recalled that Brand struggled with her independence and professional success.
"He didn't like the atmosphere of me being the boss on tour," she revealed.
Perry described his behavior as "very controlling" and admitted that she initially blamed herself for their breakup.
The former couple married in India in October 2010, but their relationship unraveled the following year.
Brand famously informed Perry that he wanted a divorce through a text message on December 31, 2011.
Their divorce was finalized in July 2012.

Following her split from Orlando, Perry began a relationship with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
The couple was recently photographed enjoying a dinner date in Beverly Hills where Perry declined to answer questions about Brand's conviction.
