The television personality says Brand’s sentencing is significant for victims and encourages survivors of sexual abuse to come forward and seek justice.

Katie Price has welcomed the sentencing of British comedian and actor Russell Brand, saying the outcome represents an important moment for his victims.

Brand, 51, was jailed for more than 10 years this week after being convicted of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault at Southwark Crown Court.

However, he was acquitted of two other rape charges and one count of attempted indecent assault.

Speaking on Thursday’s episode of The Katie Price Show, which she co-hosts with her sister Sophie, Katie said she had met Brand several times in the past. She also revealed that her former security guard, Danny, subsequently worked for the comedian.

Price said she was pleased with the sentence because of its significance for the victims. She expressed hope that more survivors would come forward and share their experiences.

She also encouraged rape victims to remain strong, saying speaking out could help protect others and bring perpetrators to justice.

Price further suggested that additional investigations involving Brand could emerge.

The 48-year-old previously spoke about her own alleged sexual assault experience. Last October, she claimed she had been raped by another British television personality approximately 20 years ago.

However, she said she had not reported the alleged incident to police because she did not want to become involved in the matter.

Her latest comments have brought renewed attention to her experience and her message of support for survivors of sexual violence.
