Russell Brand was spotted alongside his wife, Laura Gallacher, as he faces court proceedings over allegations of rape and sexual assault.
The couple were seen walking hand in hand as they departed from Southwark Crown Court in London, where Brand’s trial is expected to continue for up to 10 weeks.
Brand wore a grey suit paired with a white shirt, while Laura smiled as the two walked past cameras gathered outside the courthouse.
Her appearance comes during a challenging period for the comedian, who faces seven charges involving six women.
The allegations against Brand comprise three counts of rape, three counts of sexual assault and one count of indecent assault.
The alleged incidents occurred between 1999 and 2009. Brand has denied all the charges and entered pleas of not guilty.
The case attracted public attention in 2023 after several women shared their allegations in an investigation published by The Sunday Times and The Times, and featured on Channel 4’s Dispatches.
Brand rejected the allegations, maintaining that all of his sexual relationships had been consensual.
Outside the ongoing legal proceedings, Brand and Laura have a long history together. The pair began dating in 2007 before eventually going their separate ways.
They rekindled their relationship in 2015 and married in August 2017.
