Six New Women Accuse Russell Brand of Sexual Misconduct Amid Sentencing

Six more women have come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against comedian Russell Brand, according to a report by The Times. The newspaper published the accounts after Brand was sentenced to ten years in prison for rape and sexual assault in England. Brand, who has pleaded not guilty to the charges, has denied the new accusations.

One accuser said Brand had sex with her without consent in the late 2000s, describing that he continued despite her attempts to stop. She said Brand later apologized in person and by text. Another woman, 19 at the time of the alleged assault in 2007, said Brand continued intercourse after she told him it was painful and asked him to stop. She reported that Brand later claimed the encounter was consensual.

A third accuser, who met Brand after a 2013 performance in San Francisco, said he invited her to his hotel, placed his hands on her throat and inserted his hand down her pants without consent. She said she froze and did not resist. A fourth woman described an ongoing sexual relationship in which Brand forced her to brush her teeth each time they met and attempted a forced oral act that made her ill.

A fifth accuser, also a fan, said their casual relationship ended after Brand asked her to lick a toilet seat and became angry when she refused. The sixth woman, who worked at a venue Brand frequented in 2015, said he grabbed her aggressively and tried to pull her into a bathroom; she resisted and feared a sexual assault.

Brand’s legal representatives have not responded to requests for comment. The Times noted that Brand’s attorneys also did not address the claims despite multiple requests.

Police began investigating Brand in late 2023 after earlier media investigations reported multiple accusations of sexual assault, emotional abuse, and physical violence. He was charged in April 2025 with several counts of sexual assault and rape relating to incidents from 1999 to 2009. After a four-week trial, a London court found him guilty on one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault, and Judge Joel Bennathan sentenced him to a decade in prison, emphasizing that women retain the right to refuse and seek justice.

"I was a fool before I lived in the light of the Lord. I was a drug addict, a sex addict, and an imbecile. But what I never was was a rapist. I never engaged in nonconsensive activity," Brand said in a video posted on X.
