Russell Brand faces fresh accusations as six more women speak out after prison sentence

The latest accounts include claims of ignored pleas, unwanted advances and alleged abuse of power

Russell Brand is facing fresh allegations of sexual misconduct and predatory behaviour after six more women came forward with accounts of their experiences involving the comedian, days after his conviction for rape and sexual assault.

An investigation by The Times and The Sunday Times, published on November 12, detailed allegations from women who described encounters they said involved unwanted sexual behaviour, intimidation and abuse of Brand’s celebrity status.

One woman, identified as Alex, alleged that Brand had sex with her without a condom despite her repeatedly telling him no. She claimed he later apologised in person and through text messages.

Another woman alleged that Brand continued having intercourse after she told him it was painful and repeatedly asked him to stop. She said the experience left her frightened and distressed.

A third woman, who worked at a London venue visited by Brand in 2015, alleged that a member of his staff approached her with a message that the comedian wanted to see her. She claimed he subsequently tried to grab her inside a disabled toilet.

The latest accounts come after Brand, 51, was sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison on November 9. He was convicted of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault involving four women between 2004 and 2009. The jury acquitted him of two additional rape charges and attempted indecent assault.

The comedian has consistently denied wrongdoing and previously maintained that his sexual relationships were consensual. His legal representatives did not provide a response to the newspapers about the latest allegations by the agreed deadline.

The Metropolitan Police have also confirmed receiving further criminal allegations during Brand’s trial and are assessing the complaints.

The new accounts add to the scrutiny surrounding the former television personality, whose reputation has faced years of controversy since allegations about his behaviour first emerged publicly in 2023. The latest women have spoken out after his criminal conviction, bringing renewed attention to accusations about his conduct.
