Russell Brand, the controversial comedian and actor, is facing serious accusations of rape, sexual assault and emotional abuse from four women who claim he abused them between 2006 and 2013. The allegations were revealed in a joint investigation by the Sunday Times, the Times and Channel 4’s Dispatches, which aired on Saturday night. Brand has denied all the allegations and said that all his relationships were consensual.
The four women, who were given pseudonyms to protect their identities, shared their stories with the reporters and provided evidence to support their claims. One of them, Nadia, said that Brand raped her in his Los Angeles home in 2012, after she rejected his suggestion of having a threesome. She said she went to a rape crisis center the same day and showed the reporters the text messages she exchanged with Brand after the incident. In one of them, she wrote “when a girl says no, it means no”, to which Brand replied “I’m very sorry” .
Another woman, Alice, said that Brand sexually assaulted her in 2009 when he was hosting the MTV Video Music Awards. She said that Brand invited her to his hotel room and forced himself on her, despite her saying no several times. She said she felt “violated” and “disgusted” by his actions .
A third woman, Beth, said that Brand emotionally abused her when they had a relationship in 2006 when he was working for the BBC. She said that Brand called her “the child” because she was 16 and he was 31. She said that he was manipulative and controlling and that he once choked her with his penis during oral sex. She said she punched him in the stomach to make him stop.
The fourth woman, Claire, said that Brand sexually assaulted her in 2013 when he was filming a movie in New Orleans. She said that Brand approached her at a bar and asked her to go with him to his trailer. She said that she agreed to go with him, but changed her mind when she saw him snorting cocaine. She said that Brand ignored her refusal and pushed her onto his bed. She said she managed to escape and ran away.
The investigation also revealed that Brand has been accused of sexual misconduct by other women in the past, but none of them pressed charges or went public with their stories. Some of them said they were afraid of his fame and influence, while others said they were ashamed or blamed themselves for what happened.
Brand has responded to the allegations by posting a video on his social media accounts on Friday before the documentary was broadcast. In the video, he claimed that he had evidence to contradict the allegations and that he was being targeted by a “pre-conceived strategy” aimed at damaging him. He also suggested that he was being attacked because he was an “alternative media broadcaster” competing with mainstream media .
Brand’s agent and publisher have cut ties with him following the allegations, while YouTube has demonetized his channel, citing his harmful “off-platform behavior”. The BBC and Channel 4 have also launched internal investigations into Brand’s conduct while working for them
The allegations against Brand have sparked a debate about the culture of sexual abuse and harassment in the entertainment industry, as well as the challenges faced by survivors who come forward with their stories.
The investigation has also highlighted the role of the media in exposing and holding accountable powerful figures who abuse their position and privilege 2.
