Katie Price has had her say on the Russell Brand sentencing, discussing the times she has met him – and has said more investigations are coming.
Katie Price has discussed the times she met Russell Brand as she reflected on his recent sentencing.
Brand was convicted of one rape and three sexual assaults last week. He showed no emotion as he was handed a 10-and-a-half year sentence on Monday at Southwark Crown Court but told his wife, Laura Gallacher, “we’ll be OK”.
The shamed comedian is being investigated over new abuse claims after a number of people recently came forward to police. Detectives are assessing the information as part of an ongoing probe and prosecutors are already considering charging Brand over two further alleged rapes, including one involving a 16-year-old girl.
A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said: “Several people have contacted the investigation team during and since the trial to provide information or report a potential criminal allegation. Detectives are assessing this information as part of their ongoing enquiries.”

Now, Katie Price has had her say on The Katie Price Podcast about the time she has met Brand and how she is glad he was sentenced for the sake of his victims.
“Obviously I met Russell Brand years ago a few times. My old security man Danny went on to do security for Russell. Anyway, I’m glad he [Brand] got sentenced because of the victims. It means a lot for them,” she said on her podcast.
“I just hope [any] more victims come forward because there’s been lots of drama series and stuff like that, true ones, where rape victims come through and they’re not believed. And the police have mocked them and not believed them.”
Katie offered advice to Brand’s victims – to “be strong” and share their stories to help others.
She explained: “My advice to [any further] victims is please be strong and come through because if you do it will help other people to put away these predators. I believe there are more investigations now coming through with Russell Brand. But yeah, I was shocked. I actually thought Brand would get more than ten years.”
