Comedian Russell Brand has been accused of rape, sexual assaults and emotionally abusing four women during the height of his fame.
The alleged assaults occurred between 2006 and 2013, while he was a presenter for BBC Radio 2 and Channel 4, and include an assault on a 16-year-old girl.
He vehemently denied the “very serious criminal allegations” ahead of a Sunday Times article and an expected expose to be aired by Channel 4’s Dispatches programme tonight.
The allegations include crew members on his Big Brother spin-off being made to feel they were working as a “pimp” by approaching young women on his behalf, and that he raped a woman at his Los Angeles home.
I’m dubious how he can blame dressing up as Osama bin laden 1 day after the Sept 11th attacks on all the cocaine and heroin he was on at the time yet he has 100% recollection of all his sexual encounters, given he’s admitted to being wildly promiscuous at that time in his life.
Anyone who blames all the shitty things they did (Andrew Sachs too) on drink and drugs is just trying to dodge responsibility for their actions.
Agreed
