Russell Brand’s public criticism of his ex-wife Katy Perry’s new relationship with Justin Trudeau highlights the ongoing culture war and challenges to conservative values.
Russell Brand’s AmericaFest Remarks
On December 18, 2025, during the Turning Point USA “AmericaFest” event in Phoenix, comedian Russell Brand took the stage to direct a personal jab at his ex-wife Katy Perry’s new romantic partner, Justin Trudeau. Brand, speaking to a conservative audience, jokingly referred to Trudeau as a “globalist stooge,” a term that resonates deeply within conservative circles. This public mockery highlights the intersection of celebrity gossip and political discourse, drawing attention to the ideological divide that continues to shape public narratives.

The Context of Perry and Trudeau’s Relationship
Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau’s relationship has been a topic of media fascination since they were first spotted together in July 2025. Their romance, which became Instagram official after a joint trip to Japan, marks a high-profile crossover between the worlds of entertainment and politics. Perry’s previous engagement to Orlando Bloom ended earlier in 2025, while Trudeau, having stepped down as Canadian prime minister, has been navigating his post-office personal life. The pairing of a global pop star with a former world leader naturally invites public scrutiny and commentary.
Before becoming Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau's net worth was estimated around $1.2 million, largely from inheritance.
