Six Women Accuse Russell Brand of Sexual Misconduct

2 min read

Comedian Russell Brand is facing mounting accusations of sexual misconduct as six new women have come forward to claim he sexually assaulted them. These allegations come just days after Brand was convicted of rape and three counts of sexual assault in the United Kingdom and received a ten-year prison sentence.

Brand’s Legal Troubles Continue

Before his sentencing, Brand’s lawyer stated that his client was ‘a fundamentally different person today’ than he was during his peak fame, according to the BBC. However, the new accusations suggest that Brand’s legal troubles are far from over.

The new claims were revealed shortly after the sentencing, as reported by Variety. The women’s stories had already been known to The Times but could not be published due to the ongoing trial. The paper emphasized that it took ‘extensive steps’ to verify the allegations, and none of the women received payments for their accounts.

Women’s Accounts Detail Harassment and Assault

One of the women claimed that between 2005 and 2015, Brand offered her cash for sex, stating, ‘Please I just need to have sex with you, I will pay you.’ Another woman recounted that she was a guest on Brand’s show after winning a BBC 6 Music competition. She described how Brand asked her to lick his toilet seat, but she refused. She added that Brand ‘seemed pissed off that I wouldn’t let him humiliate me.’

A third woman claimed she met Brand through a mutual acquaintance and had sex with him. However, when she told him he was hurting her and asked him to stop, he refused. Despite her pleas, he insisted their encounter was consensual. Several other women also reported that they asked Brand to stop his advances, but he refused.

Authorities Investigate Further

The Metropolitan Police have received reports from several other women accusing Brand of assault. Met chief Mark Rowley expressed that he ‘wouldn’t be surprised’ if there are more victims. It remains unclear whether authorities will charge Brand over these new cases.
