RUSSELL Brand's relationship with his wife's family has come under scrutiny after allegations of rape and sexual assault were levelled at the comedian.<\/p>\n
Brand married Laura in 2017 – but claims have emerged about her father's opposition to the match.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Brand's father-in-law Bernard Gallacher is said to have begged his daughter not to be with the comedian, who denies accusations of rape and sexual assault.<\/p>\n
And while it initially seemed Brand was being supported by Laura's family, it appears that has changed.<\/p>\n
His sister-in-law Kirsty shared an Instagram story on Saturday morning including his YouTube denial of any wrongdoing, which she captioned with a love heart emoji.<\/p>\n
But television and radio presenter Kirsty, 47, appears to have deleted it later that day.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The allegations against Brand were aired on Saturday evening in Channel 4 Dispatches documentary following a joint investigation with The Times.<\/p>\n
Brand had shared his YouTube video on Friday night in which he denied any wrongdoing and claimed there was a "co-ordinated media attack" against him.<\/p>\n
Kirsty's sister and Brand's wife\u00a0Laura, 36, has not spoken in response to the allegations and has seemingly\u00a0deleted her Instagram.<\/p>\n
Brand and Laura first dated in 2007 – introduced to each other by ex-Sky Sports host Kirsty – then got back together in 2015, before marrying two years later.<\/p>\n
