Four women have recently come forward and alleged the comedian sexual assaulted them between 2006 and 2013.
The women have alleged the sexual assaults occurred between 2006 and 2013 while Brand was a presenter for BBC Radio 2 and as well as when he was an actor in Hollywood. Meanwhile in a Friday video posted to X, formerly Twitter, Brand denied the allegations leveled against him.
A second woman alleged that the comedian assaulted her when he was in his early 30s and she was 16 and still in school. She alleged he referred to her as “the child” during an emotionally abusive and controlling relationship that lasted for about three months.
A third woman claimed that Brand sexually assaulted her while she worked with him in Los Angeles, and that he threatened to take legal action if she told anyone else about her allegation. Meanwhile, the fourth woman alleged being sexually assaulted by Brand and him being physically and emotionally abusive towards her.
In his video that was posted to X, Brand said his relationships have been “always consensual” and that he seriously refutes “these very serious criminal allegations.”
Brand maintained that he has been transparent about his previous relationships being consensual and wants to continue being transparent. He continued his response by also suggesting the two “mainstream media outlets are making a coordinated attack” against him.
“These allegations pertain to the time when I was working in the mainstream, when I was in the newspapers all the time, when I was in the movies, and as I’ve written about extensively in my books I was very, very promiscuous,” he said.
