Russell Brand accused of sexual misconduct by six more women

Translate

Russell Brand has been accused of sexual misconduct and predatory behaviour by six more women.

Last week, Brand was found guilty of rape and three counts of sexual assault and was acquitted of two other rape charges and an attempted indecent assault. On Monday (November 9), Brand was sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison for his crimes.

Following his conviction, Brand’s former girlfriend Jemima Goldsmith accused him of “violence, coercive control and abuse” while the Met Police have confirmed they’re investigating two more rape allegations against Brand.

Now a new report from The Times sees six more women accuse Brand of sexual misconduct.

One woman, who said that she had an on-off relationship with the comedian in the late 2000s, claimed that Brand continued having sex with her after she asked him to stop. After the alleged incident, she said Brand apologised to her in person and by text message. “I justified it in my head by saying to myself: at least he admitted it.”

Another woman claims that she tried to stop sexual intercourse with Brand because it was hurting. “Then it gets worse and it’s really painful. And I say ‘stop’ and he doesn’t stop,” she told The Times. Afterwards, Brand reportedly said that “tonight was consensual. Nobody did anything they didn’t want to do.”

Brand is also accused of “manhandling” a former fan and forcing his hands down her trousers in 2013, while another woman claims he approached her at a music festival in 2005 and offered her money for sex. In total, the report includes new allegations that took place between 2005 and 2013 from six different women.

These new allegations could not be reported until his previous criminal case was resolved to avoid influencing those proceedings. The Times said that “extensive steps” were taken to corroborate the allegations and that none of the sources were paid.

Brand has not responded to these new allegations. The Times reports that he was given additional time to comment, and missed an agreed deadline to respond. Brand has previously denied wrongdoing and claimed all his relationships were consensual. Yesterday (Thursday November 12) he shared a public petition to “Free Russell Brand” via his X account.
