Russell Brand bombshell as 'six more women accuse him of sexual misconduct'

Résumé détaillé

Disgraced comedian Russell Brand is facing fresh allegations of sexual misconduct from six more women, it has been reported. The new allegations have been revealed in an…

According to The Times, Brand allegedly attempted to coerce the woman into a lavatory during an incident in 2015, when he was married to Laura Gallacher.

He is alleged to have subsequently told her: "Tonight was consensual. Nobody did anything they didn't want to do."

The allegations could not be reported while Brand's criminal trial was ongoing, to avoid potentially prejudicing the proceedings.

The six women are understood to have contacted journalists following the joint investigation by The Times and Channel 4's Dispatches in September 2023, which prompted further allegations against the comedian to emerge.

Half of the latest group of women are said to have attended Brand's comedy shows or gigs, where he allegedly used his celebrity status to approach women.

Some of the complainants reportedly felt unable to go to the police but decided to speak out after other women came forward.

Brand has previously denied wrongdoing, insisting that his relationships were consensual.

He is just days into his prison sentence after being convicted of raping a fan and sexually assaulting three women who worked in television and radio in the early 2000s.

As he was jailed at Southwark Crown Court, Brand was criticised by the judge for his "staggering arrogance".
