The claims against Russell Brand

Woman 4: Claims Brand sexually abused her and physically and emotionally abused her

Just hours after the allegations emerged, Brand staged a stand-up show at Wembley Stadium and told the crowd: “There are things I absolutely cannot talk about.”
Brand appeared stern as he arrived at the west London venue, but as he left the stage he was greeted with applause and cheers from fans.
Before the Times published its expose, Brand denied all allegations against him, calling them “aggressive attacks.”
The actor posted a video Youtube In it, he said that he “absolutely refutes” the claims and that his previous relationships have “always been consensual.”
While he admitted to being “promiscuous” at the height of his fame, he strongly denied any criminal aspect of his behavior.
Russell Brand’s full video transcript
Hello, you awakening miracles.
Now, this isn’t the usual type of video we do on this channel where we criticize, attack and undermine the news in all its corruption, because in this story I am the news.
I have received two extremely disturbing letters – a letter and an email.
One from a mainstream media television company, one from a newspaper, listing a litany of extremely egregious and aggressive attacks as well as some pretty stupid things – for example, that my community festival should be stopped so I shouldn’t be able to follow the narratives of the Attack mainstream media on this channel.
But amidst this litany of astonishing, rather baroque attacks, there are some very serious allegations that I absolutely refute. These accusations relate to the time when I worked in the mainstream – when I was in the newspapers all the time, when I was in the cinema and I was, as I have detailed in my books, very, very promiscuous
Well, during this time of promiscuity, the relationships I had were absolutely always consensual. I was always transparent back then, almost too transparent. And I’m making this transparent now.
And seeing how that transparency has morphed into something criminal that I absolutely deny makes me wonder if there is another agenda at play?
Especially when we have seen coordinated media attacks before – like Joe Rogan when he dared to take a drug that the mainstream media did not approve of, and we saw a barrage of headlines from media outlets around the world, who used the same language.
I’m aware that you’ve been saying in the comments for some time, “Watch out Russell, they’re after you, you’re getting too close to the truth, Russell Brand didn’t kill himself.”
I know there was a flood of articles a year ago: “Russell Brand is a conspiracy theorist, Russell Brand’s right wing.”
I know that news media makes phone calls and sends letters to people I’ve known for ages.
It was clear to me, or at least it seems to me, that there was a serious and concerted agenda to control these types of spaces and these types of voices, and I mean my voice along with your voice.
I don’t mind them using my books and stand-up to talk about my promiscuous, consensual behavior in the past. What I seriously refute are these very, very serious criminal allegations.
It is also worth noting that there are witnesses whose statements directly contradict the narratives that these two mainstream media outlets appear to be trying to construct as part of what I believe is a coordinated attack
I don’t want to go into it because the allegations are so serious, but I feel like I’m being attacked and it’s obvious that they work very closely together
We will of course look into this matter because it is very, very serious. In the meantime, I want you to stay close to me, stay awake, but more importantly, please stay free.
