Sharon Osbourne raises concern for his family amid Russell Brand's downfall - Geo News

Sharon Osbourne has shared her views on Russell Brand's conviction after he was found guilty of raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others.

The former X Factor judge, 79, who has known Brand for more than 2 decades, spoke about his downfall after he was jailed for more than ten years and six months this week for offences committed between 2004 and 2009.

Speaking on The Osbournes Podcast on Thursday, Sharon said she was relieved that Brand's crimes had finally caught up with him.

'Even if it's years ago and you've tidied up your life, you've got your head together. You've got everything going [for you],' she said. 'The whole thing is ugly. But his wife, his kids....'

Elsewhere, Sharon described the case as 'ugly' as she expressed concern for Brand's wife, Laura Gallacher, and their three children, who have been left to face the consequences of his crimes.
