Can we talk about Laura Gallacher

I wonder how many allegations there actually were, 6 have made it to court but I imagine there were more but they don’t all go to trial.

Katy Perry and the big Indian wedding, I feel sorry for her too. Lovebombed from the beginning.

I agree about the beyond reasonable doubt.

There are times when I have referred to someone not convicted as 'found not guilty' instead of innocent, because I think they committed the crime and it was not found beyond reasonable doubt.

Both Katy Perry and Laura Gallacher probably knew about his behaviour towards Andrew Sachs, which any reasonable woman would have found enough to avoid Russell Brand.

Completely agree. That Sunday service keeps popping up on my FB - annoyingly. I've only watched moments of it it but it's as clear as DAY that she is walking on eggshells and is being controlled. Bearing in mind this is what we see with the cameras rolling ....

It's terrifying to watch and I hope the scales fall from her eyes when (pray to God) he is convicted of at least some if not all of these charges.

Her sister begged her to break up with him when they were first together when she was 19. I can't think that her family were best pleased when they then reunited (the day after she had broken up with a partner and was vulnerable - his favourite kind of woman eh). But due to then staying together, procreating etc they have probably decided they have to ostensibly stick by them etc.

I hope she gets free.

I also believe that in her heart of hearts, at the very least she recognises some of his quirks, sexual predicilitions, moves etc - even if she doesn't believe what he did was non-consensual.

He was allegedly "sober" and "in recovery" during many of the alleged incidents. These are not the actions of a man living in according to the tenets of a higher power etc etc at all. This is a man who swapped substance abuse for the abuse of women.

Men with a daughters might not feel too warmly disposed towards him.

Yes I first thought he would use the 'I was in active addiction' defence, but according to Google he became sober in 2002. The anal rape was in 2007

Here’s hoping

Who on earth re RB and Laura Gallacher?

Clicked the link had to turn it off when he started talking about the trial and how they can't mention it as he wants justice for all involved or words to that effect and it made my stomach turn. He is just so fake and so slimy. Eugh.

Russell Brand and his equally deluded wife Laura Gallacher and her equally deluded sister Kirsty Gallacher.

His poor wife, who clearly adores him. I feel nothing but compassion for her. I hope one day she see’s him for what he is and finds freedom and peace away from him. Same goes for their children.

And contemporaneous witnesses confirming they told them the same story at the time/they witnesses behaviour aligned to allegations. Photo evidence aligning with victim’s accusations. Medical healthcare professionals confirming victim sought treatment and said she was raped by him etc etc, There is actually loads of evidence beyond ‘their word against his’. I’m curious to see evidence from the defence.

If he gets found guilty who thinks she will leave him? I can't decide if she will or not. What do others think?

Well looking at her behaviour at the moment she appears to think he's amazing. I'd save your pity for someone who deserves it, like the poor women he raped.

I have always thought he looked evil. Horrible man. Didn't he and Jonathan Ross poke fun at Andtew Sachs once, needlessly?

I think that's because we can put ourselves more in her shoes than we can RB. And we question what we would do if we were in her position.
I wouldn't have got with him in the first place though. He is vile.

Yeah this is all true. And good to know.

I suspect the defence will be gaslighting the women, saying they don’t remember, they wanted it. They’ll bring up inconsistencies in their stories to discredit what they’re saying. I’m keeping up with the trial on a podcast, but I’m actually dreading the defence. It’s going to make me so angry.

Yes I saw that there were 8 men on the jury and thought it was very 'male heavy'

Just the fact they are discussing the court case on a YouTube channel is disgusting! And talking about outfits. No way would I click that link.

Yeah that was horrible! Phoned him up live on air & left lewd messages about his granddaughter’s relationship with Brand. Brand has always been a disgusting predator.

Someone giving evidence in court, whether for prosecution or defence, is still "actual evidence". Evidence doesn't have to be physical or forensic evidence etc. In a case like this, it is for the jury to listen to all the evidence presented in court (i.e. what each witness says about what happened) and decide who they believe.

I could only manage to watch until the Sunday/Monday thing. I didn't see her as a victim, it just seemed like a normal conversation where they both heard different things.
But the pair of them even mentioning the trial and trivialising it by talking about their outfits is absolutely disgusting.

Ah that’s interesting. And gives me hope he might be found guilty of at least some of the counts. Thanks.

How long has he had this Sunday Service thing going for?

I love watching that! Both have interesting takes on latest news.

This was my thought exactly. I am really hoping she is building evidence against him and agreeing to these horrible Sunday videos is part of the set up. Lets hope she has more sense than we are giving her credit for 🙏 He makes me feel sick.
