Katy’s marriage to actor Russell Brand quickly collapsed, leaving her in a state of depression and despair.

Singer Katy Perry.

On a terrible day in December 2011, Katy Perry received a text message from her husband, British actor Russell Brand, asking for a divorce. Russell did not even want to meet Katy one last time to say goodbye. This shock made the Part of Me singer extremely miserable and depressed. She called it “the darkest period of her life”.

In a conversation at Australia’s talk show The Project , Katy Perry opened up about the time after her divorce, when she considered ending her life: “Sometimes you can be blinded by extreme emotions. I was very depressed, very bored and thought about committing suicide. But luckily, those were just thoughts, never turned into action.”

Katy and Russell Brand had a short marriage of 14 months.

After the crisis, Katy wrote the song By the Grace of God to express her struggle against her weak and desperate ego. She expressed: “I wanted to share my story because I know there are many other people who have gone through the same feelings as me. You feel like you are the only one in the world who has to endure this pain, but when you listen to the song, you think: Oh, she did it, so can I. “

In an interview last year, Katy also shared that she locked herself in her room for 2 weeks after the divorce and turned to alcohol to relieve her sadness. As a result, the singer had to register for an alcohol rehab program.

Earlier this year, Katy suffered another heartbreak when she broke up with singer John Mayer after two years of dating. Although she was madly in love with John, Katy is no longer the weak heartbroken girl she used to be. The singer is now happily single and just celebrated her 30th birthday with friends on October 25./.
