‘Matlock’ Actor David Del Rio’s Wife Slams His Costar Amid Sexual Assault Allegations
Russell Brand’s legal woes continue.
After being charged with multiple counts of rape and sexual assault earlier this year—all of which the comedian has pled not guilty to—the 50-year-old was hit with additional charges after two new female accusers came forward.
Brand was charged with one further count of rape and one further count of sexual assault related to the two women, London’s Metropolitan Police department confirmed in a Dec. 23 press release. He is due to face the charges in a London court on Jan. 20, 2026.
In a video posted on X (formerly Twitter) Dec. 23, the Get Him to the Greek actor—who shares three kids with wife Laura Brand—did not address the matter directly, though he urged those watching “to understand the truth of my situation and scenario.”
“I pray Lord, anyone that I’ve harmed or hurt in my years of mindlessness and sin would be healed, Lord,” he said in the clip. “And I pray, Lord, for the absolute truth of who I am to be abundantly revealed.”
