Leigh Francis, better known by his stage name Keith Lemon, recently addressed the sexual assault allegations against Russell Brand. Speaking at the Radiant Resilience private exhibition at London’s Quantus Gallery, Leigh expressed his sadness for the situation.
“I promised myself I wouldn’t comment on it – it’s just sad, isn’t it?” Leigh said. “It’s a saddening thing for everyone. It’s sad for the ladies, it’s sad for his family and it’s sad for him.”
The TV star also addressed the potential of being accused himself, as he’s been in a relationship with his wife Jill Carter for over 30 years. He said it’s ‘unlikely’ he’ll ever be accused of anything untoward.
Brand, 48, has been accused of rape, sexual assault, and controlling behaviour by several women at the height of his fame. Investigations have now been launched by the BBC, Channel 4, and the Metropolitan Police force. Brand has denied the accusations against him, claiming any sexual encounters were ‘always consensual’.
On Monday night, Brand returned to his live online show on Rumble, pleading with fans to give him money and support his channel. He also spoke about the ‘war against free speech’ and urged his viewers to subscribe to his channel, which costs $60 annually.
The Met then announced the launch of an investigation into allegations of past sexual offences in London and other areas. These offences are all non-recent. Leigh's comments on the allegations facing Russell Brand reflect the serious nature of the situation and the impact it has on all involved.
