Russell Brand's life has been engulfed in chaos after several women have come forward with allegations of rape and sexual assault against him. This news has sent shockwaves throughout the entertainment industry and the public.
The women accusing the comedian of assault and controlling behaviour claim their incidents happened over a seven-year period, when Brand was at the peak of his fame. One of the alleged victims was just 16 years old when Brand is said to have 'shoved his penis down her throat'. The Get Him to the Greek star denies all claims.
In response to the allegations, Brand's pub, the Crown Inn in Pishill, has been 'temporarily closed' and fenced off. On Sunday morning, locals noticed the entrance blocked by security fencing covered with a beige hessian fabric. Pictures obtained by The Oxford Mail show a sign on the pub's door reading: 'Pub temporarily closed'. One local resident said they saw three security men and 'lots of people inside the building' when they drove past.
Brand took over the pub with his wife Laura Gallacher, who is currently pregnant with their third child, in March 2020. It is speculated that Brand is inside the pub, keeping a low profile. It is also unknown whether he sought planning permission for the security fence.
The BBC and Channel 4 are conducting their own investigations into Brand's alleged behaviour, with The Times insinuating that it was an 'open secret' in the industry. Brand has not addressed the Dispatches film specifically since it aired, but he did appear on stage for a sold-out comedy show at Wembley on Saturday night. He told the audience he could not talk about certain things. In his previous YouTube video, Brand said the sex acts performed with the women accusing him were 'consensual'.
Brand's representatives have been contacted for comment. The public await a response to these claims, which could turn the tide of his career completely.
