Russell Brand has been charged with 3 counts of rape, 3 counts of sexual assault and 1 count of indecent assault.
He was at court today for day 1 and his wife was there supporting him.
I’m not judging her it isn’t a situation I’d ever want to be in but it’s made me think… if the police knocked on my door and my husband was charged would I support him?
I don’t think I would, it must be hard if the man you’ve married has always been loving and respectful to you but I know for a fact how hard it is to get these cases to trial.

Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty. He has not been found guilty of anything as yet.

Yes, I'm sure the 6 women are lying...🙄

She was very young when she met him. She’s probably been moulded to believe what he says.

I just had a quick look at Sunday service

I can’t believe they are joshing around when he is on trial for rape and
sexual assault - even if he were innocent I can’t imagine I would be able to laugh until it’s all over

they must feel very confident he’s going to get off is all I can think

im aghast

He seems to forget that mainstream media made him. And he threw it all away. He was on his way to Hollywood A list.

What an utter knob head.

I believe his transformation into some sort of religious Jesus nut job is genuine. He’s like some sort of zealot and it’s far removed from your average church goer that’s for sure

So yes, I can well believe he’s changed and he’s clearly settled with what appears to be the equally zealous Laura

unfortunately for him this doesn’t change the past so it’s pretty clear he will receive a jail sentence for what he’s (allegedly and probably) done

He will get through it with prayer and the lords love and guidance I’m sure

All those people writing sycophantic messages on the Sunday Service page - do they all realise he's up on trial for six serious sex crimes? It's all "God bless you" etc - unbelievable.

But look at how he’s positioned himself: once he knew he was ‘cancelled’ in the U.K., he became an evangelical Christian and went for the right wing American market… the type of person who automatically thinks any public figure accused of a sex crime is the victim of conspiracy theorists. These supporters are not rational thinking people

Im curious but dont want to add to their viewing figures

plus what does it do to my youtube search history/ algorithm

The recap is two of them sitting in pyjamas/dressing gown attire (weird given the context) with RBs gown exposing his chest.

They say a prayer.

On several occasion they mention how good LB looked in her suits entering court and they laugh about the criticism of RB’s chest exposure in his suit. A few of the things they were laughing at seemed in poor taste.

On several occasions LB has to stop RB from using innuendo etc and dials him back.

they read out supportive comments and pray for everyone involved- including those that are not on their side. Lots of religion, Jesus etc

RB talks about how great Tommy Robinson is and LB doesn’t disagree (which has put me off her )

If you have a look at the video they posted this weekend on you tube, called ‘Sunday service’, it will probably give a good insight.

It's awful..how he tucks her hair behind her ear, so performative 🤢 And the constant wearing of the white dressing gown, open at the front, like wtf??
How are they even allowed to do this during the trial?? Surely their defence will be advising them not to?
I believe she is absolutely under his spell

Katherine Ryan said something interesting on her podcast this week. Something along the lines of, "if I was a man, I would hope that even if I was innocent, I'd like 'hey you've been through enough, I won't parade you in front of the press and throw you to the wolves, I care about you and respect you standing by me but please stay home"

She must have been about 30 when they married?

her sister is famous, her dad was a pro golfer. She can’t have been that innocent or star struck around him

Maybe she’s just not a very nice person, just like him 🤷‍♀️

Ratcherinthepye · 17/10/2026 22:55

I agree @thebrowncatisback I get she was young the first time they dated, but the second time she was old enough and surely had enough time in the interim to break free from his spell or whatever and reflect on who he was.

I think often women get a pass for enabling and covering for male abusers.

I remember more or less leaving one friend group because it was so commonplace for the women to either be dating or befriending known abusive and frankly unhinged men. We were young, but mid 20s, so not that young! And I felt they should’ve known better.
Between that and all the other drama that predictably ensued from mixing with such people I decided to part ways. Interestingly at least a couple of those men were imprisoned for sexual offences a decade or so later.

thebrowncatisback · 17/10/2026 16:04

Cant imagine marrying a man with his past

even before people knew he was a rapist, he was an open misogynist, drug addict, sec addict

that awful sachsgate incident

vile, vulgar and obscene stand up act

shes obviously some kind of nutbar herself

Scaring 20 year olds trying to get to the sink to wash their hands!

The entitledness!

cattussuperior · 17/10/2026 15:35

She may be in a coercive relationship now, but she can’t fail to have known what sort of person he was before she got involved. He was totally open about his addictions, his attitude to women and to sex. She chose to be in a relationship and have children with him.

OneoftheWeddingPeople · 17/10/2026 14:46

Absolutely disastrous to give this personality type legitimacy and a platform and access to women as these tv companies did.

Basically came on to me. I was 20, in the girls loos by myself.

I said something like “erm, no thank you” and got out of there. What people maybe don’t notice is that he’s huge. Really tall, and although he looks slim he’s actually pretty well built.

And he’s got wild, Peter Sutcliff eyes

@PoweredBySheerSpite

glad you got out

Thewonderfuldollypartonsbra · 17/10/2026 14:04

My brother is the same personality as RB-he has the same 'vibe' (I can't explain it very well)

On the surface,he's charming,little bit 'odd',can spin a good tale and isn't attractive in a conventional way (he's a lot of a dirty and scruffy hippy)

Scratch the surface,he's a woman hating,power hungry,cruel,narcissistic twat who's never been told 'no' by our narcissist mother (he's the golden child and genuinely believes he's one down from god as she wont allow him to believe different)

He genuinely believes he's the reincarnation of Jesus,Robin Hood and Merlin (all fictional characters but our mother stands there and proudly backs him up and goes mental at anyone who dares to point that fact out)

Over the years,he's been accused of all sorts (not rape but only because he does have others around to put the brakes on his behaviour) and is super charming and talks his way out of it ('oh that officer?she's mistaken') or our mother pays for the 'problem' to go away

He gets away with this shite time and time again just as RB has-he really thinks he's above the law

His time will come (im nc with him,hes a dangerous man,Andrew tate is his hero and im also nc with his enablers-my family and lots of his friends)

The women flock to him and will stand by him no matter what is said by the last one

But it's telling he's never had a good relationship and they all end up with the woman going to the police while he stands smirking with his new woman standing by him while simpering and cooing at him

Hes now 42 years old (almost 43) and has never had a relationship that's lasted longer than about 8 months-I said to dp that's because that's the time it takes for his mask to slip

Time and the law will catch up with him one day and I will guarantee that some woman will walk into the court,holding his hand and squealing about his 'innocence'

I don't get it but that's how it works

Yep, there must be a lot of evidence.

My dh was part of a large potential court case recently, he was a victim of child / teenage sexual abuse by his teacher. Despite 6 people providing the same accounts, similar stories etc - all completely unrelated and unknown to each other and occurring at different times- the prosecution service said there wasn’t enough evidence for it to go to court. So it’s just been completely dropped (dh is okay with me posting about this btw). So for it to have got this far, with so many women, there must be a lot of compelling evidence for RB.

So sorry your dh has not seen justice served. Give him my love and a hug ❤

I get the feeling he handpicked her after assessing how easily manipulated she could be and how she could boost his image.

Well that’s a given. Men like that always choose easy to manipulate - and usually much younger - women.

It says on that article he’s never even changed a nappy for any of his kids. Wow so has he never taken them on a brief day trip somewhere himself without his wife being there?

I mean my old friend is a guy who works quite long hours and his wife is a SAHM but when the 2 kids were under 5 he would often take the kids to local places for a few hours on the weekend by himself . I’m sure he would’ve changed a nappy at least a few times by now.

Imagine reading the thread with its significant discussion of the concept of ‘innocent until proven guilty’ and then writing a post saying ‘Yeah but what about innocent until proven guilty?’

Ah forget about that poster. I tried with them but judging by their latest responses it’s clear they aren’t capable of intelligently discussing this.

They’re not engaging with the many points anyone’s about why it’s foolish to come on here effectively saying a legal principle means Mumsnetters can’t share an opinion on whether an unsavoury man accused by multiple women is guilty. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Shes not necessarily supporting him she perhaps wants to hear the truth
