Russell Brand, the former comedian and actor, is facing legal action in the UK for the first time over allegations of sexual abuse. Four women have come forward, accusing Brand of rape, assault, and emotional abuse during the height of his fame between 2006 and 2013. However, Brand strongly denies these allegations, stating that all of his relationships have been consensual.
The Metropolitan Police in London launched an investigation into the allegations and received reports from multiple women. The evidence was then passed on to the Crown Prosecution Service, who confirmed they were considering bringing charges against Brand in November. However, as of now, no charges have been pressed against him.
Recently, it was reported that an anonymous individual, believed to be a woman, has filed a personal injury sexual abuse case against Brand at London's High Court. This is the first known legal action against Brand in the UK regarding these allegations. In addition, a BBC review found that during Brand's time with the corporation, there were individuals who felt unable to raise concerns about him as they believed he would always get his way. The BBC has since apologized for this and stated their concern that some individuals felt they could not make complaints about Brand during his time at BBC 6 Music and BBC Radio 2.
The criminal inquiry into Brand's alleged actions began in September 2023, following a joint investigation by Channel 4's Dispatches, The Sunday Times, and The Times. However, the CPS has not yet brought charges against Brand. In a video posted online the day before these claims were published, Brand accused the media of a coordinated attack against him.
Since 2023, Brand has not had a mainstream acting credit, according to IMDb. Instead, he has turned to online platforms like Rumble, where he shares conspiracy theories and anti-establishment narratives. Some of his most popular videos include claims of a global Covid-19 cover-up and the Great Reset conspiracy theory, which suggests that a global elite used the pandemic to enforce radical social change. In July 2024, Brand received backlash after a video of him confusing melanin and melatonin while criticizing Kamala Harris went viral.
Last year, Brand turned to Christianity after facing challenges in his life and was baptized in the Thames. Metro has reached out to Brand's lawyer for comment.
