Russell Brand, a famous British actor-comedian, has been facing allegations of rape, sexual assault and emotional abuse over a seven-year period when the actor was touching the height of his fame. From 2006 to 2023, the actor has faced several accusations which have tarnished his name in the industry. Four women have raised their voices against the actor with allegations of sexual assault spanning from 2006 to 2013. In addition to these claims, the comedian and actor is also confronting accusations of controlling, abusive, and predatory conduct. These allegations have surfaced as a result of a collaborative investigation conducted by the Sunday Times, the Times, and Channel 4 Dispatches.
2006
In 2006, Brand, then 30, was a BBC radio presenter and host of Big Brother’s Big Mouth. During that time, a woman claimed that she was in a relationship with the BBC presenter. However, the relationship did not go well, and Brand sexually assaulted the woman during a three-month relationship in 2006 when she was 16.
During an interview with the Sunday Times, the woman said that she met Brand in Leicester Square after she had been shopping. She says she texted Brand her age after telling her mother, but he wasn't deterred and on the date asked her to confirm she was sixteen. The woman confirmed that during the span of their relationship, Brand was very controlling and sexually and emotionally abusive.
2007
In 2007, Brand again found himself in a pool of allegations when Jordan Martin alleged that the 'Get Him to the Greek' actor sexually assaulted her and was physically and emotionally abusive towards her in the span of their six-month relationship, which began in February 2007.
