Russell Brand has been accused of sexual assault by a film extra during the making of his 2010 comedy Arthur. The BBC reports that the British presenter is the subject of a civil lawsuit filed Friday in the New York Supreme Court.
In her affidavit, the complainant – referred to as Jane Doe – alleged that Brand, who played the title role in the film, had “appeared intoxicated, smelled of alcohol, and was carrying a bottle of vodka on set” before the assault on July 7 2010.
She claimed that he exposed himself in full view of the cast and crew, before he followed her into a bathroom and assaulted her as “a member of production crew guarded the door from outside.” Film studio Warner Bros Pictures and other companies involved in the production are also named as defendants.
The film Arthur, a remake of the 1981 film starring Dudley Moore in the title role, co-starred Helen Mirren, Greta Gerwig and Jennifer Garner.
