Russell Brand‘s wife, Laura Gallacher, has spoken about the actor’s 10-year and six-month prison sentence after being convicted of rape and sexual assault following his London criminal trial earlier this month.

The couple both shared remarks in a YouTube video posted Sunday, in which Gallacher speaks about the conviction before continuing to the pre-recorded episode of their “Sunday Service with the Brands” series, which featured Brand.
