Sean Lock was not a fan of Russell Brand, and a resurfaced clip from 2014 reveals why. During an appearance on 8 Out of 10 Cats, the late comedian joked about 'hating' Brand as a father with young daughters, saying that he feared they'd bring home someone like him. He gesticulated wildly with flamboyant hand movements and said, "Probably the reason I hate him so much is because I'm a dad, and I've got this fear that one day my daughters will bring something like that home."
Lock earned laughs from the whole studio audience at the time, and Twitter users are now recirculating the clip in light of the recent allegations against Brand. Several women have accused him of rape and sexual assault, claims which he denies. The Metropolitan Police has released a statement confirming that they are aware of the allegations, and encouraging victims of crime to come forward.
The BBC and Channel 4 have also launched investigations into Brand's behaviour, with reports that showbiz executives who previously worked with him might now face questioning. Brand himself has not released any sort of statement, but he was on stage for a comedy gig at Wembley when the Dispatches special aired. A tour is still scheduled despite the allegations, with audience members saying he expressed his love for them and hoped they 'appreciate' that there were certain things he could not talk about.
