<p>Actor and podcast host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/russell-brand" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.dailywire.com/topic/russell-brand&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1694985006561000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3PHtQ_G5x1XXnMavvkunMX">Russell Brand</a> on Saturday posted a video online denying allegations of sexual assault, which were reported hours later by The Sunday Times, and accusing the outlet of engaging in a &#8220;coordinated attack&#8221; to defame him.</p>
<p>The Sunday Times report said four women, whose names have not been disclosed, have accused Brand of sexual misconduct from 2006 to 2013, which was the height of Brand&#8217;s mainstream fame. One woman claims Brand raped her, while another alleged victim, who is now 31, says Brand sexually assaulted her when she was 16 years old <span style="font-weight: 400;">(the age of consent in the UK).</span></p>
<p>&#8220;Amidst this litany of astonishing, rather baroque attacks, are some very serious allegations that I absolutely refute,&#8221; Brand said on video platform Rumble.</p>
<p>&#8220;These allegations pertain to the time when I was working in the mainstream, when I was in the newspapers all the time, when I was in the movies. And as I&#8217;ve written about extensively in my books, I was very, very promiscuous,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Now, during that time of promiscuity, the relationships I had were absolutely always consensual.&#8221;</p>
<p>Notably, the allegations against Brand came from a joint investigation by The Sunday Times, The Times, and Channel 4 Dispatches.</p>
<p>&#8220;There are witnesses whose evidence directly contradicts the narratives that these two mainstream media outlets are trying to construct, apparently, in what seems to me to be a coordinated attack,&#8221; Brand countered. &#8220;I feel like I&#8217;m being attacked, and obviously they are working very closely together.&#8221;</p>
<p>Brand, at the time of the video, said he had heard from one media outlet and one TV company.</p>

<p>The Sunday Times and The Times said it gave Brand eight days to respond to the allegations, and noted that Brand&#8217;s legal team responded by taking issue with the media outlets intentionally choosing to anonymize the names of his accusers, likely making it more difficult for Brand to refute directly.</p>

<p>Brand&#8217;s team also told the media that this was a “concerted campaign” and that there is a “deeply concerning agenda to all this, namely the fact that he is an alternative media broadcaster competing with mainstream media.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to the report, one woman is claiming Brand raped her in his Los Angeles home. She says she was treated at a rape crisis center on the same day of the alleged rape, and The Sunday Times suggested medical records confirm this. The report also said via text message, Brand replied &#8220;very sorry,&#8221; when the woman texted, &#8220;When a girl say[s] NO it means no.”</p>
<p>Another woman, who is now 31 years old, says she was still in school when she was in a relationship with Brand for about three months. The accuser says Brand referred to her as &#8220;the child&#8221; and once &#8220;forced his penis down her throat,&#8221; the report said.</p>
<p>Another woman claims Brand sexually assaulted her and then threatened her with legal action if she were to talk about the allegation. And a fourth woman says Brand sexually assaulted her and was physically and emotionally abusive.</p>
<p>Brand posted his denial video to X (formerly Twitter) as well, where it racked up nearly 32 million views in a matter of hours.</p>
<p>One notable figure, the world&#8217;s second-richest man and X CEO Elon Musk, seemed to offer Brand support. &#8220;Of course. They don&#8217;t like competition,&#8221; he wrote, seemingly referring to mainstream media.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Of course. They don’t like competition.</p>
<p>&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1702818047063654910?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 15, 2023</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Tucker Carlson, too, similarly responded, writing, &#8220;Criticize the drug companies, question the war in Ukraine, and you can be pretty sure this is going to happen.&#8221;</p>
