British actor Russell Brand is accused of raping, sexually assaulting and psychologically abusing multiple women between 2006 and 2013, according to a three-media investigation published today.

Four women have accused the actor of sexual assaults when Russell Brand was at the height of his career as a presenter on BBC Radio 2, Channel 4 and as a Hollywood film actor.

The allegations, which he denies, were revealed in an investigation carried out by The Sunday Times and The Times newspapers, as well as Channel 4.

According to the investigation, published by the Sunday Times, the remaining women accuse Brad of domineering and abusive behaviour.

Ahead of the publication of the inquest and the screening of the related documentary tonight on Channel 4, Russell Brand, 48, posted a message on his Twitter account (X) to defend the “very serious criminal allegations against him”.

“The relationships I’ve had have always been completely consensual,” he says, denouncing a “coordinated attack” by the media against him.

As part of the investigation, one woman accuses Russell Brand of raping her at his home in Los Angeles, while another says she was sexually assaulted during a three-month relationship with him and while she was a 16-year-old schoolgirl.

During his career as a television and film comedian, in the United Kingdom and then the United States, Russell Brand was noted for his repeated deviance, his addiction to alcohol and heroin, his brief marriage to the singer of pop Katy Perry and his penchant for boasting about his plethora of amorous conquests.

In the mid-2010s, he became an anti-capitalist activist seeking “total revolution” and has recently gained prominence for his conspiracy, anti-vaccination theories and attacks on the mainstream media from his 6 million-subscriber YouTube channel and his Twitter account with 11 million followers.

Now he calls on his audience to remain “alert and free” against the information transmitted by traditional media.
