Laura Brand, would you stand by your man? Trigger rape.

It must be a horrible situation to be in for her.
If it were me and the allegations were before my relationship with him and he had never given me any indication to doubt him during our relationship. I would be guarded but reserve judgement until he was convicted of any offence.

Yeah, like all the religious conversions that happen in prison/on death row.

Any woman who chose to marry Russell Brand has surely shown her poor judgment LONG before any court case came knocking, but no. I wouldn’t have been there holding his hand.

Waitingfordoggo
I can really imagine that. He loves the sound of his own voice.

Yeah kind of cringey and unpleasant to watch. She seems like a really intelligent, creative woman as well.

I saw them a few years ago at a festival. Laura was the one who had been booked as a speaker for the launch of her book. Russell did most of the speaking- kept interrupting her and cutting her off and then pretending to sheepishly apologise and ‘let’ her talk again before interrupting her again.

She's seeing Adrien Brody now

I can't remember if he was one of the "oh it couldn't POSSIBLY be him" signatories when the allegations about HW first came out

That was damage control for her brand. She 100% knew about her husband's procilivites, but Hollywood isn't quite like the right wing grifting Christian circle. It takes a lot to get cancelled in Hollywood, but once it happens you're done. Georgina had to reinvent herself sharpish.

No, I wouldn't. But then, I wouldn't have married that disgusting creep Russell Brand in the first place!

Yes this has been somewhat I’ve been wondering about too.

Back before all the allegations I followed Laura Brand on instagram and really enjoyed her joy journal craft book. Used lots of the ideas.She always kept a low profile and has never courted the lime light to the extent that most people wouldn’t recognise her as RBs wife.

fast forward to now she seems to have followed RB into the Christian faith. I watched their Sunday service video and in the one I watched he chastised her for talking too long, interrupted her, and then spent great lengths of time talking himself. He seemed considerate of her in some ways but completely unable to not be the centre of attention/the one speaking all the time. He seems really hard work and I feel quite sorry for LB as I believe it will have been difficult for her to navigate what’s happening now.

And yet here he is, in the dock for MULTIPLE accusations of rape 😘

If the police came knocking then my first instinct would be that there must be some mistakes. It would be a very slow realisation but I'd eventually understand the evidence and pull back. It's an awful situation for any family member. That said you choose your partner and I wouldn't choose a man who had a sex addiction or had slept with 100s of women. She may not have known all his past but she would have known some things. So probably doesnt have much of a moral compass herself. I don't know much about him but even before these allegations he is not the type of man I would associate with.

Yep. “In addition, Russell hasn’t looked after his babies for longer than 24 hours, and jokes it’s because his wife ‘respects and cares for their safety too much.’”

Kirsty came out publicly in support of him after that and praised him as a father.

The burden of proof in criminal cases is always beyond reasonable doubt, that never changes.

Yet you didn't see Georgina Chapman for dust when the news about Harvey Weinstein broke - good on her.

Oh yes. The Nappy stuff.

From 2019

The comedian caused controversy last week after an interview with The Sunday Times when he revealed that the hadn’t looked after his children for an extended period of time, and didn’t help change the tots nappies.

https://metro.co.uk/2019/01/21/russell-brand-criticised-after-claiming-hes-crap-at-changing-nappies-because-hes-not-willing-to-fight-any-battles-8367967/

The comedian has revealed that he doesn’t do much in the way of nitty gritty parenting when it comes to his two kids – because his wife is just so good at it.

The 43-year-old, who shares daughters Mabel, two, and Peggy, six months, with his other half Laura Gallacher said he’s no good at changing nappies.

The self-professed former womaniser told The Sunday Times: ‘Yes, I am very, very focused on the mystical connotations of Mabel’s beauty and grace. Not so good on the nappies and making sure they eat food.

‘When I looked after Mabel on her own, she dropped two social classes in an hour. In no time at all, we’re in a coffee shop, she’s just got a nappy on and she’s covered in stuff because I’m not willing to fight any of the battles.’

I think there was more stuff on the Ladeeez having innate spiritual affinity with nappy changing. I was able to access Twitter then and I remember at the time , this being 2 years after #MeToo, LOTS of chat like "just wait till it all comes out about him.." from several men in the fringes of the industry

Everyone in TV knew. It wasn’t a secret. Her sister works in TV. His wife knows. She just chooses ‘not to know’. Sad but true.

I would just hide away somewhere with the kids and make my mind up away from the public view.
She is making a strong statement by supporting him publicly.

Given that she married him in the first place, it is unsurprising that she is standing by him.

I think a lot also depends on why she’s still by his side.

I know two women with such little faith in the system that they outwardly stayed with their husbands because they felt their daughters were better protected that way than they would be in a split.

Given that her sister shared an agent with Brand and publicly said he was a great father after the nappy comment she may also not have the family support needed to leave a man like that.

If I thought my DH was predatory and dangerous I’d be doing what I thought would keep my children safe, and given the state of the family courts that might not be the obvious answer that folks would assume it would be.

I wonder if theposters salivating on this thread will give the same attention to the trial of the four young men who were arrested for gang raping a woman today in Swindon less than a mile from a migrant hostel?
Nah, no sleb gossip in that one.

Defend Russell Brand if you must, but don't try and derail the thread because you hate migrants.

All the religious stuff does not look authentic. It is an act so that he can say to the court that he is a changed man. It's embarrassing to watch.

But just because there are a number of accusations diesn’t make each one more likely to be true /there is the bandwagon effect which police encourage by asking more ‘victims ‘ to come forward. The way posters have decided in advance and are psyhcpanalysing his poor wife is despicable.

You don't know much about British law do you!
