Katie Price has recalled meeting Russell Brand after the comedian was sentenced to 10 years and 6 months in prison for rape and sexual assault. Speaking on The Katie Price Podcast, she said she is glad to see him behind bars and hopes more victims come forward.
Price's Reaction to Brand's Conviction
Price said: "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 added: "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."
Advice to Victims and Airport Encounter
Price said: "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."
In 2023, Price also spoke to G2 magazine about an encounter with Brand. She said: "We were stuck in LAX airport with him once. He had his girlfriend with him and I was with Pete. He was trying to pull my stylist when his girlfriend was out there standing with her, so to me that says a lot. The truth always comes out in the end."
