Ahead of the serious allegations against Russell Brand, the podcast host issued a response on social media. In a recent video on Instagram, Brand stated, “I’ve received two extremely disturbing letters, or a letter and an email, one from a mainstream media TV company, one from a newspaper, listing a litany of extremely egregious and aggressive attacks. But amidst this litany of astonishing, rather baroque attacks, are some very serious allegations that I absolutely refute.” While Brand admitted that he was promiscuous in the past, he insisted that his relationships were “absolutely, always consensual.”
Brand was dropped by his literary agency Tavistock Wood after one of the alleged victim’s contacted them, per The Times. “Russell Brand categorically and vehemently denied the allegation made in 2020, but we now believe we were horribly misled by him. Tavistock Wood has terminated all professional ties to Brand,” a statement read. When she initially reached out about her allegation, a lawyer for Brand reportedly responded defensively. She said, “It was very aggressive … said very clearly I was after money and implied that it was almost blackmail that I was doing. I’ve never mentioned money. [The lawyer was] the only person that’s ever mentioned money.”
