Family of Russell Brand's wife Laura fear he 'brainwashed' her
Key Points:
- Laura Gallacher, wife of convicted comedian Russell Brand, is described by her family as being "totally brainwashed" by him and remains convinced of his innocence despite his conviction for rape and sexual assault.
- Brand was sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison after being found guilty on one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault, though he was acquitted on other charges.
- Gallacher has been a staunch supporter, expressing love and confidence in Brand during the sentencing, and her testimony influenced the judge's decision regarding Brand's future risk assessment.
- Sources hope that with Brand incarcerated, Gallacher may have the opportunity to distance herself from his influence and start a new life.
- The couple has been married since 2017 and have three young children together.
