Russell Brand interrupted his wife, Laura Gallacher, in an unsettling video just weeks before he was convicted of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault and sentenced to 10 and a half years in prison.

Russell, 51 and Laura, 39, featured on the October 11 installment of their podcast on YouTube, Sunday Service with the Brands, when Gallacher shared a message from a listener who had served five years behind bars, at the 54-minute mark of the episode.

Gallacher recited, "I know what it's like to be awaiting possible imprisonment and the huge pressure it places on loved ones too. You WILL get through it; iron sharpens iron. The presence of God is everywhere, including prison."

As she delivered the message, Brand abruptly interrupted her, stating, "I don't like things where it's like, you might have to go to prison." Gallacher replied, "No, I know. That's just the nature of what a trial is."

Brand acknowledged the trial's potential for incarceration, remarking, "Just suck it up. That's just one of the challenges."

Throughout the four-week proceedings at Southwark Crown Court, Russell's wife stood by him, and he was immediately taken into custody as the judge cautioned him about facing "significant" prison time.

Gallacher testified as a character witness for Brand, describing him as an "amazingly attentive husband and wonderful father" to her and their three young children.

She informed the court, "We have a very honest, frank and clear relationship and marriage... our relationship has always been [about] honesty."

According to The Sun, Gallacher is reportedly considering relocating their family from Florida to the UK during Brand's incarceration.

Her relatives are understood to be "deeply concerned" for her wellbeing, as sources suggest she feels her "world has turned upside down" and is "living a nightmare."

Gallacher has stood by his side throughout the process and is maintaining his innocence even beyond his sentencing.

The couple's defense team also claimed Laura was feeling "total devastation" over her husband's prison sentence, and said that "words are completely inadequate" to describe what she is going through.
