Renowned comedian and actor Russell Brand is facing a storm of allegations, including rape, sexual assault, and abuse, brought forward by a number of women, with one of them alleging an incident when she was just 16 years old. The revelations were reported by The Sunday Times ahead of a Channel 4 Dispatches documentary on the claims.
Before the claims were made public, Russell Brand vehemently denied them in a video posted on his social media channels, describing them as a “litany of extremely egregious and aggressive attacks.”
