Brand has denied all the allegations against him, which were made in a report fromThe TimesDispatches, the documentary that accompanies it.
And his wife Laura Gallacher, 36, is standing by her man in the wake of allegations from four women and claims that others have since come forward.
Prior to this, sources claimed that Bernard Gallacher’s father, the legendary golfer, had asked her not marry him.
Laura was first introduced to Brand back in 2007, when she was 19 years old and he was 30, by her sister Kirsty Gallacher, who previously worked for Sky Sports.
The couple dated briefly before the comedian flew to Hollywood.
Bernard was reportedly delighted with the news – who was concerned about the couple’s age gap.
A friend told MailOnline at the time: “He begged her to end it”.
However, Laura reunited with Brand back in 2015 after a chance encounter while taking a walk with a friend following a break-up.
Russell Brand married Laura Brand in August 2017 after proposing to her in June 2016.
Brand’s allegations of victims include rape, sexual assault and emotional or physical abuse.
One woman claims she was a victim of an assault at Brand’s home in 2013 after they met at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.
Another claimed that the comedian raped her up against a wall at his home in Los Angeles.
Another woman claims that he made her perform oral sex to the point where she choked when she was only 16 and had to be punched in the stomach by him to get him to stop.
Russell Brand’s full video transcript
You awakening wonders, hello!
This is not the typical type of video that we produce on our channel, where we criticize, attack and undercut the news with all its corruption. In this story, I am the media.
Two extremely distressing letters have been sent to me – a letter as well as an email.
The first was from mainstream media, the second from a paper, both listing an array of aggressive and egregious attacks, as well as some stupid things like stopping my festival, or not being able to criticize mainstream media on this channel.
As I refute, there are serious accusations that have been made against me. They relate to my time in the mainstream, including when I appeared in all newspapers, in movies and in many of my books.
The relationships that I maintained during this period were all consensual. I was very transparent back then. Now I am also being open about this.
When I see transparency morph into something that is criminal, which I deny completely, it makes me ask if another agenda is at work.
It is especially important when there have been coordinated attacks on the media in the past, such as when Joe Rogan took a medication that was not approved by the mainstream media. We saw headlines across media outlets using similar language.
I’m aware that you guys have been saying in the comments for a while ‘Watch out Russell, they are coming for you, you are getting too close to the truth, Russell Brand did not kill himself’.
I know that a year ago there was a spate of articles ‘Russell Brand is a conspiracy theorist, Russell Brand’s right wing’.
I’m aware of news media making phone calls, sending letters to people I know for ages and ages.
It’s been clear to me or at least it feels to me like there’s a serious and concerted agenda to control these kind of spaces and these kind of voices and I mean my voice along with your voice.
I don’t mind them using my books and my stand up to talk about my promiscuous consensual conduct in the past. These very, very serious criminal accusations are what I refute.
Also it’s worth mentioning that there are witnesses whose evidence directly contradicts the narratives that these two mainstream media outlets are trying to construct apparently in what seems to me to be a coordinated attack
I am not going to go any further due to the severity of these allegations. But I have a feeling that I’m under attack and they’re clearly working closely together.
We are obviously going to look into this matter because it’s very, very serious. Please, in the interim, I ask you to remain alert, close and, most importantly, free.
Four women accused him of being emotionally, physically and sexually abusive.
The fifth claims he subjected her to emotional abuse, sexual abuse and made her brush her teeth so hard her gums bled.
And today it was revealed that cops have begun investigating a new claim that comic Russell Brand sexually assaulted a woman in London’s Soho.
The alleged attack is said to have taken place in 2003.
The Met Police said in a statement yesterday it received a report on Sunday.
It added: “Officers are in contact with the woman and will be providing her with support.”
Brand, before these claims were made public, released a short video debunking the accusations. Brand claimed that, while he had been “promiscuous”, he always maintained his relationships with consent.
