Katy Perry is reportedly considering a tell-all autobiography and docuseries about her 14-month marriage to Russell Brand, following his conviction for rape and sexual assault and subsequent prison sentence.
The 51-year-old British comedian and actor was found guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault against four women between 2004 and 2009 at Southwark Crown Court on November 5th. He was sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison on Monday, November 9th.

According to The Mail on Sunday, the "Lifetimes" singer, 42, has received offers to tell her story over the years, but reportedly wanted to wait until the trial had concluded before moving forward with any potential projects.
Perry and Brand married in October 2010, a year after meeting when she had a cameo in his movie Get Him to the Greek. Brand filed for divorce just 14 months later, in December 2011.
Katy Perry Reportedly 'Has A Lot To Say' About Her Marriage To Russell Brand
Although the former American Idol judge has previously made a few comments about her marriage to Brand, there could be a lot more to come if the reported book and docuseries go ahead.
"Katy has received multiple offers over the years to tell her story but would not consider anything until after the trial. She has a lot to say," an insider told The Mail on Sunday.
"At the moment she's considering a Netflix-type series and an autobiography," the source continued, adding: "She and her team have been in active discussions. There is a lot about that marriage which people don't know. It was a very dark period in her life."
It's currently unclear who would publish the potential book, or where the docuseries might air, although Netflix and Hulu have reportedly been mentioned as possible platforms.
What Has Katy Perry Previously Said About Russell Brand?
The mom-of-one, who shares daughter Daisy Dove with ex-fiancé Orlando Bloom, has previously opened up about the breakdown of her marriage to Brand, including revealing that she learned he wanted a divorce via text message on New Year's Eve 2011.
Speaking to Vogue in 2013, the "Woman's World" singer, who is now dating former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau, revealed that she hadn't spoken to Brand since receiving the text, and also discussed what she described as his "very controlling" behavior during their marriage.
She said at the time: "At first when I met him he wanted an equal, and I think a lot of times strong men do want an equal, but then they get that equal and they're like, I can't handle the equalness."
"He didn't like the atmosphere of me being the boss on tour. So that was really hurtful, and it was very controlling, which was upsetting," the "Roar" singer went on, adding: "I felt a lot of responsibility for it ending, but then I found out the real truth, which I can't necessarily disclose because I keep it locked in my safe for a rainy day. I let go and I was like, 'This isn't because of me; this is beyond me. 'So I have moved on from that."
