Russell Brand has got some haters! Katy Perry's ex-husband is premiering his new comedy series, "Brand X With Russell Brand" on June 28, but it doesn't seem like he's getting a lot of support from the public. A promotional billboard on Sunset Blvd promoting the new series was vandalized by Katy Perry fans.
TMZ reports that across the bottom of the billboard a fan spray painted, "I would rather watch the Katy Perry movie."
Russell Brand, 37, and Katy Perry, 27, wed on October 23, 2010. After 14 months of marriage the two split, a divorce settlement is expected to be finalized in July.
The comedian and the singer's divorce has been very public, and is about to get even more public with the July 5 release of Katy Perry's 3-D documentary, "Part of Me." Perry addresses their marriage in the film, even insinuating that her singing career caused the demise of her marriage.
The Katy Perry fans that defaced the sign aren't alone in their feelings. Although the show hasn't aired to the masses yet, reviews are starting to trinkle in and it's not looking pretty.
The Los Angeles Times writes that "Russell Brand may be only one having fun on FX's 'Brand X.'" The Wrap shares similar feelings, stating that "Something seemed to get lost in translation."
