On Sept 16, Russell Brand was accused of rape, sexual assault, and manipulative behavior by multiple women, who came forward during a joint investigation from The Times, The Sunday Times, and Channel 4.
In the new 90-minute documentary titled Russell Brand: In Plain Sight, these brave women came forward with their stories, including one highly disturbing story where a woman detailed her relationship with Brand when she was 16, he was 31, and how he sexually assaulted her towards the end of their relationship.

Along with these women’s accounts, many have come forward with their own disturbing stories about Brand. Most notably, author Bryony Gordon previously wrote in 2014 in her book The Wrong Knickers “that there were, by his own admission, hundreds of other girls with a Russell Brand story,” per DailyMail.
Brand quickly made a video denying these allegations, calling them “extremely egregious and aggressive attacks.” He talked about how he was “very, very promiscuous” and claimed he was in “consensual” relationships. Since then, his talent agency has cut all ties with him.
With all of this information bubbling to the surface, many have wondered how Brand’s wife Laura Gallacher has reacted to the news. While she hasn’t made a public statement, eagle-eyed Instagram users noticed something peculiar.
Almost instantly after the allegations came forward, The Mirror discovered she had deleted her social media accounts.
And her sister Kirsty Gallacher reposted Brand’s reaction video to her Instagram story with a red heart, indicating support for him amid these allegations, per the Sun. It’s unclear if Laura feels the same support for him, but deleting social media has made people speculate.
For those who don’t know, Brand and Laura got married in 2017. They met in 2007, but reconnected in 2015, per People. They have two daughters named Mabel, 6, and Peggy, 5, and per StyleCaster, many believe that Laura has given birth to another child recently.
