Six More Women Accuse Russell Brand of Sexual Misconduct
Six more women have accused Russell Brand of sexual misconduct in a new investigation published by The Times and The Sunday Times. Their accounts add to the scrutiny surrounding the comedian and actor, whose conduct has already been the subject of extensive reporting by the two newspapers. The new allegations were published only days after Brand was jailed for rape and sexual assault, placing them in the context of a major criminal case and renewed public attention.
The investigation also coincides with the release of Netflix’s documentary “Russell Brand: Open Secret.” The film draws on the newspapers’ earlier reporting about Brand, linking the documentary to the wider examination of allegations made against him. The timing means that the six new accounts appeared as audiences were being introduced to the history of the reporting through a prominent international streaming platform. Together, the investigation and documentary extend the public record surrounding Brand’s alleged sexual misconduct and the reporting that preceded his imprisonment.
