The Trial: Russell Brand - The Wife

About this episode

Russell Brand's wife, Laura Gallacher, today took the stand to give evidence in his defence. She said she first struck up a relationship with the comedian after meeting him at one of his gigs when she was 19 in 2006. But she said their relationship didn't last more than a few months because he was promiscuous and cheated on her. Eight years later they rekindled their affair and got married. She said he was an 'amazing attentive husband' and 'wonderful' father to their three young children, and she loved him very much. Two other ex-girlfriends also gave statements to the court, telling the jury that Russell Brand was charismatic, gentle and charming when they dated in the 1990s but that they too ended their affairs because of his unfaithfulness and dependence on them for money.
