BBC News reported that Laura Brand, wife of Russell Brand, gave evidence at his trial and told the jury, "I love him very much." The outlet said she told the court she feels seen by him and described her husband as caring, kind and a wonderful father.
The Guardian reported that Laura Brand, 39, gave evidence at her husband's rape trial and called him an "amazingly attentive husband." According to The Guardian, she told the court that the couple met in 2006 and fell in love, but that they had previously split up over his promiscuity. The newspaper said she also described him as a wonderful father.
The two reports differ in how they describe the proceeding. BBC News referred to Brand's trial without describing its charges, while The Guardian described it as a rape trial. The summaries available for this story do not report a verdict, a ruling, or a response from Russell Brand or his representatives.
Both outlets attribute the account of the testimony to Laura Brand herself, and both focus on her description of the couple's relationship and his role as a husband and father. The Guardian's summary ends partway through its account of the relationship, so further detail from that report is not available here.
