The renowned British actor Russell Brand is at the center of a scandal after being accused of rape, emotional abuse and sexual assault by four women.
The four women, who have chosen to keep their identities anonymous, have shared details of situations of abuse and mistreatment that they allegedly experienced at the hands of the actor. According to The Times, one of the accusers said that Brand attacked her when he was 31 years old and she was only 16. She stated that they had a relationship of approximately three months that the newspaper describes as “emotionally abusive and controlling.”
Another accuser has claimed that Russell Brand sexually assaulted her while they were working together in Los Angeles. However, the actor would have threatened to take legal action against her if she shared what happened.
For his part, Russell Brand has responded to the accusations through a video on his social networks in which he vehemently denies having committed such acts. It is important to note that this statement was made before the accusations came to light, according to Efe.
The journalistic investigation that brought these accusations to light reveals that journalists have been interviewing for years “hundreds of sources who knew or worked with Brand,” according to The Times. Several of these people have also accused him of “physical and emotional abuse, sexual harassment and intimidation.”
The British newspaper highlights that many of the complainants felt the need to speak only after being contacted by journalists. Some of them argued that they were motivated to do so by Russell Brand’s growing prominence as an influential figure in the wellness space, with millions of followers on platforms such as YouTube and other sites.
