Russell Brand divorced Katy Perry via text message

British comic Russell Brand told Katy Perry he was divorcing her by text message, the US pop star said in a new magazine interview, adding that she hasn't heard from him since.

Brand issued a statement in December 2011 announcing that he had filed for divorce 14 months after the pair were wed in India, saying that "I'll always adore her and I know we'll remain friends."

Perry, in an interview in the latest edition of Vogue magazine, which features her as its cover story, tells it differently.
