Russell Brand denies 'very hurtful' sexual abuse allegations


Russell Brand has said accusations of sexual assault made against him are "very, very hurtful".

The actor and comedian has denied allegations of rape, assault and emotional abuse between 2006 and 2013.
The allegations were reported as part of an investigation by the Times, the Sunday Times and Channel 4 Dispatches.
Brand said in an online interview it was "very, very painful" to be accused of "what I consider to be the most appalling crimes".
He has been questioned by the Metropolitan Police in relation to nine alleged offences. The Met said last month its inquiries were continuing.

Brand said:

The comedian and activist told him:"I'm aware that I put myself in an extremely vulnerable position by being very, very promiscuous,[but] that is not the type of conduct I endorse, and it's certainly not how I would live now."
"Of course, I deny any allegations of the kind that have been advanced - and what I have seen is the significance of family and the importance of beliefs that are transcendent of this."

The 48-year-old said when he was a "denizen" of the entertainment world, he was "fostered and adored and celebrated, and lived the kind of lifestyle that was kind of common for people in that arena, for single people... certainly with an appetite for a promiscuous lifestyle".
He continued:"When I was part of it, I found it empty and unfulfilling."

No idea who he is ....

He's spoken out against the machine so probably time to destroy him now

We weren't there so we just don't know what went down.

It does annoy me that the women that came forward want to keep their identity secret, I mean, they will destroy his reputation, his career, his life, just by naming him in public, for ever more, but no one knows who they are. Which makes me wonder about how truthful they are really being. Are they just after his money? Or do they really have a reason to accuse him of assaulting them?

If he did what they are saying, then they need to prove it. Either that or leave him alone.
