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.

    Can’t say I’m super surprised, he had some allegations in the me too era but didn’t address them at all,and instead has been doing a bunch of content about left wing politics, which I suppose was an attempt to repair his public image. Ever notice he’s not really in movies anymore? That’s not for no reason lol. Additionally, he married Katy Perry when she 25 and he was 35, and she divorced him alleging he was abusive and shitty. So yeah, not surprised he’s a child rapist.

      He jumped the horseshoe from left wing content to right wing conspiracy a while back didn’t he?

      His “leftist” politics, mainly liberal, always struck me as a virtue signal.

        Verbose bullshiter with ‘right on’ politics that wants to be down with the kids but invariably always makes it about himself
