Andrew Sachs' granddaughter, Georgina Baillie, has spoken out on the allegations against Russell Brand in a recent interview with Piers Morgan for TalkTV's Uncensored. This comes as Brand finds himself at the centre of multiple serious accusations from women accusing him of rape, sexual assault, and predatory behavior during the height of his fame.
In 2008, Baillie was in a 'friends with benefits' relationship with Brand who was 30 and she was 20. This relationship became public knowledge when Brand and Jonathan Ross left crude messages on Sachs' voicemail, boasting about a relationship between Brand and Baillie.
In the interview, Baillie reveals that Brand paid for her rehab to help her with her addiction. He also apologized to her personally for putting intimate details of their private relationship out into the public domain. She said that he was nice to her when they were together and nothing untoward ever happened.
When asked about the allegations made against Brand, Baillie said that she has been a survivor of sexual abuse and believes victims. She said her initial thought was that she was glad she wasn't Russell. She then went on to say that when you're an addict you can cross-addict and that Brand wasn't working a program and wasn't well.
Morgan then reminded her that this doesn't justify rape and sexual assault if that is what he did, to which Baillie agreed. She said that she doesn't recognize the person described in the reports, but believes they should get help. She then said she's taking the allegations with a pinch of salt and it is right for the police to investigate them.
Baillie hasn't spoken to Brand since the allegations were made publicly. It is clear from her interview that she has had time to reflect and process her own experience with Brand. No matter the outcome, she stands with the victims and encourages them to get help.
