Four women have come forward with allegations of rape and sexual assault against Russell Brand. These accusations were revealed in a joint investigation by UK news outlets. Despite the claims, Brand has denied any wrongdoing and asserts that all his relationships have been consensual, as reported by the BBC. The incidents are said to have occurred between 2006 and 2013, during Brand’s peak fame as an actor, comedian, and radio/TV host in the UK. It’s worth noting that, during part of this period (2010-2012), Brand was married to singer Katy Perry. The Sunday Times, Times, and Channel 4 joined forces to produce this investigative report.
According to one of the accusers, Brand raped her against a wall in Los Angeles. She sought treatment at a rape crisis center on the same day, according to the Hollywood Reporter. In a subsequent exchange of text messages, she told Brand that “No means no,” to which he reportedly replied, expressing remorse. Another accuser claimed that Brand sexually assaulted her when she was 16 and he was 31, during a three-month relationship. A third woman stated that she was sexually assaulted by Brand while working with him in Los Angeles, and he threatened legal action if she went public with the accusation. The fourth accuser accused Brand of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse.
Prior to the release of the investigation, Brand posted a video denial on social media, stating that he had just been made aware of the allegations. He acknowledged his past promiscuity during a time when he was frequently featured in movies and newspapers. However, he emphasized that all his relationships were consensual during that period and remains transparent about it now. Brand had a live show scheduled at London’s Wembley Park Theatre on the same evening the allegations were made public, while Channel 4 was set to air a documentary about the accusations against him, according to Variety.
