Naman Ramachandran Allegations against comedian and actor Russell Brand are being investigated by the BBC and Banijay U.K., while the Metropolitan police has encouraged victims to come forward.
On Saturday, the Sunday Times of London, The Times and U.K. broadcaster Channel 4’s documentary team “Dispatches” published the results of a year-long investigation where Brand was accused of “rape, sexual assaults and emotional abuse.” Brand pre-emptively denied the allegations in a YouTube video titled “So, This Is Happening,” where he said he “absolutely refutes” the “litany of astonishing, rather baroque, attacks.” On Sunday, a BBC spokesperson said: “The documentary and associated reports contained serious allegations, spanning a number of years.
Russell Brand worked on BBC radio programmes between 2006 and 2008 and we are urgently looking into the issues raised.” One of the allegations is from a then 16-year-old during the time Brand presented a show on BBC Radio 6.
Other allegations are said to have happened in the 2004-05 period on “Big Brother” spinoffs “Eforum” and “Big Mouth” produced by Endemol, now owned by Banijay.
