Comedian Daniel Sloss recently spoke out against Russell Brand in a collaborative episode of Channel 4 and The Times’ Dispatches. Brand, 48, has been accused of rape, sexual assault, and emotional abuse by four women, one of whom was 16 at the time.
In the episode, Sloss reveals that for many years, women have been warning each other about Brand. He states that he himself has heard rumors within the comedy industry more than a decade ago, but they never affected his work.
The documentary also features a shocking claim that Brand offered an employee to disgraced presenter Jimmy Savile. Sources say Brand rung Savile in 2007 and was told they could meet if Brand brought a sister. Instead, Brand allegedly offered to bring a female employee who would be naked, as per Savile’s request.
On Friday night, Brand denied the ‘very very serious allegations’ in a video posted on his social media channels. In the video, he stated that he had been approached by a mainstream TV network and newspaper with ‘extremely disturbing’ allegations. He also said that, while there were ‘stupid stuff’ in the correspondence, there were also ‘some very serious allegations that I absolutely refute.’
The episode also featured a former Big Brother runner who worked alongside Big Brother’s Big Mouth and Celebrity Big Brother’s Big Mouth host Brand. They claimed that they and their coworkers were ‘basically acting as pimps to Russell Brands’ needs’ as they put him in contact with women in the audience of the show. The runner also said the act was like ‘leading lambs to slaughter’ and many of the women felt they had been used by the star.
The episode has certainly stirred up a lot of conversation about Brand and the allegations against him. It is clear that people are divided on the issue, and it will be interesting to see how it all plays out in the coming days.
