“I was deeply offended then, as I remain deeply offended now.”
Vanessa Feltz shares a clip showing Russell Brand asking her if he can sleep with her and her daughters on a TV show in 2006.
Four women are alleging sexual assaults between 2006 and 2013:
One woman alleges that Brand raped her without a condom against a wall in his Los Angeles home. She says Brand tried to stop her leaving until she told him she was going to the bathroom. She was treated at a rape crisis centre on the same day, which the Times says it has confirmed via medical records
A second woman, in the UK, alleges that Brand assaulted her when he was in his early 30s and she was 16 and still at school. She alleges he referred to her as “the child” during an emotionally abusive and controlling relationship. Looking back, she says, he “engaged in the behaviours of a groomer”
A third woman claims that Brand sexually assaulted her while she worked with him in Los Angeles. She alleges she repeatedly told Brand to get off her, and when he eventually relented he “flipped” and was “super angry”. She says he threatened to take legal action if she told anyone else about her allegation.
“We live in a society where the possibility of a man’s life being ruined is more important than the reality of a woman’s life being ruined by sexual crimes.”
Tan Smith reacts as Russell Brand denies allegations of rape and sexual assault towards four women.
Vanessa Feltz says Russell Brand was like ‘catnip to women’ and ‘exuded charisma star quality’ when she met him on Big Brother’s Big Mouth.
“I suppose what I saw in plain sight was not somebody who would prey upon women but someone who was irresistible to women”.
