It has emerged that a woman has claimed that Russell Brand assaulted and assaulted her when she was just 16 years old.
The woman – named Alice to protect her identity – claimed she had been in an “emotionally abusive and controlling relationship” with the then 31-year-old Brand for about three months, according to a joint investigation by The Sunday Times, The Times and Channel 4 Dispatches revealed revealed.
She claims he took her virginity, was “preoccupied” with her being “innocent and pure,” and often referred to her as “the child.” The woman claims he helped her make up lies to deceive her parents and encouraged her to hide their relationship from her friends.
Alice also claimed the actor and comedian once kissed her mother in front of her and on another occasion “pushed his penis down her throat” and “made her choke” and only stopped after she punched him in the stomach.
Brand was accused of seven years of rape, sexual assault and emotional abuse. Four women have accused him of sexual assault between 2006 and 2013, when he was at the height of his fame, working for BBC Radio 2 and Channel 4 and appearing in Hollywood films.
He is also accused of controlling, abusive and predatory behavior.
Brand vehemently denies the allegations, saying in a video posted online Friday that all of his relationships were consensual, before accusing the media of a “coordinated attack.”

Russell Brand (pictured in 2012) was accused of rape, sexual assault and emotional abuse for seven years. Four women have alleged sexual assault between 2006 and 2013. He vehemently denies the allegations, saying in a video posted online Friday that all of his relationships were consensual, before accusing the media of a “coordinated attack.”
Alice claimed she met Brand in 2006 while shopping at the now-closed Topshop in Oxford Circus, Leicester Square. He had been working in a nearby studio.
She told the inquest that he took her shopping bags from her, went through her purchases and criticized each item. She claimed he even pulled out a red dress and told her, “This is what you’re going to wear on our date this week.”
She claimed the couple went out to dinner on their first date and although she dressed up for the occasion, “I didn’t look like a woman at all.”
Alice recalled that on their first date, Brand asked her to confirm that she was at least 16, the legal age in Britain. She told the inquest that he said: “I don’t give a fuck if you’re 12.” . “I need to know where I stand legally.”
She claimed that Brand was “very charming and very attentive” at the beginning of their relationship. She claimed he would send her “extensive” messages and often made her feel “giddy” and “special.”
However, she also claims that he was aroused by the fact that she was a virgin, claiming he would call her his “baby”, cradle her in his arms like a child and stroke her hair. She further claimed that he said she was “like my little doll.”
She also claimed he adopted a “powerful posture” during sex that made her feel like he believed he was “conquering something.”
Alice claims that after he forced her to perform oral sex, Brand said to her: “Oh, I just wanted to see your mascara run anyway.” During one of his comedy appearances (pictured above), he told the audience: “They’re running Take off the mascara a little bit.”Good”
Alice claimed he taught her what to say to her parents – giving her “scripts” of what to say – when he wanted to see her, and said he would even send taxis to her secondary school to to pick them up.
She claimed their relationship was “isolating” because Brand asked her to keep it a secret from her friends and allegedly told her that if they knew, they would “try to make money from it.”
Alice, who has now branded the star’s alleged behavior as “grooming behaviour”, claimed that throughout the relationship he referred to her as “the child” and gradually became “controlling and then emotionally and sexually abusive”.
She claims Brand once even forced her to perform oral sex on him, even though she repeatedly refused.
“I was sitting in bed against the headboard and he forced his penis down my throat so I couldn’t breathe.” “It just suffocated me and I couldn’t breathe and I pushed him away and he wouldn’t budge at all,” she told the inquest.
Alice said she had to “punch him really hard in the stomach” to get him away from her. Then she remembers lying on the bed crying.
She claims he told her: “Oh, I just wanted to see how your mascara went anyway,” before sitting on top of her, holding her mouth open and slobbering into it. She recalled him “choking” as he “held my mouth shut and made me swallow it.”
She also claimed that he invited her to his 31st birthday party. Alice claims her mother dropped her off at Brand’s house and allegedly kissed her mother when they met him on his doorstep.
Alice said she finally ended her relationship with Russell Brand (pictured in 2014) after she came to his house and saw him in bed with another woman
Alice remembered her mother wanting her to leave, but she said she decided to stay and attend the party instead. Her mother had reportedly been vocal about her opposition to the relationship throughout the duration of their relationship.
The alleged sexual assault victim said she permanently ended her relationship with Brand after she came to his apartment and saw him in bed with another woman.
She told the inquest that she decided to share her story now because she wants the law to be changed to better protect people under 18, arguing she is too young at 16 to have sex with to consent to an adult.
“It shouldn’t be legal for a 16-year-old to have a relationship with a man in his 30s.” “There should be something in place to protect children,” she said, adding. “My mother still feels like she somehow let me down by letting this happen, but she had no recourse.”
In late 2020, Alice Brands contacted literary agent Angharad Wood, co-founder of Tavistock Wood, to report the actor’s alleged behavior.
She claimed she was told by a lawyer acting on Brand’s behalf that he had denied the allegations. But in a new development this evening, Brand has been removed from the Curtis Brown and Tavistock Wood websites.
In a statement responding to Alice’s allegations in 2020, Tavistock Wood said this evening: “Russell Brand has categorically and vehemently denied the allegations made in 2020, but we now believe we were terribly misled by him.” “Tavistock Wood has terminated all professional ties with Brand.”
Russell Brand’s full comments:
Hello, you awakening miracles. Now, this isn’t the usual type of video we do on this channel where we criticize, attack and undermine the news in all its corruption, because in this story I am the news.
I have received two extremely disturbing letters – or a letter and an email – one from a mainstream media television company, one from a newspaper detailing a litany of extremely egregious and aggressive attacks, as well as some pretty stupid things like mine Community celebrations should be stopped and I should not be able to attack the mainstream media narrative on this channel.
But amidst this litany of astonishing, rather baroque attacks, there are some very serious claims that I absolutely refute. These accusations relate to a time when I was in the mainstream, when I was in the newspapers all the time, when I was in the movies, and as I’ve written about extensively in my books, I was very, very promiscuous.
During this time of promiscuity, the relationships I had were completely consensual. I was always transparent back then, almost too transparent, and I am the same now.
And seeing how that transparency has morphed into something criminal that I absolutely deny makes me wonder if there is another agenda at play.
Especially when we’ve seen coordinated media attacks before, like Joe Rogan daring to take a drug that the mainstream media doesn’t approve of, and we saw a barrage of headlines from media outlets around the world saying the same thing language used.
I’m aware that you’ve been saying in the comments for some time: “Watch out Russell, they’re after you,” “You’re getting too close to the truth,” “Russell Brand didn’t kill himself.”
I know there was a flood of articles a year ago: Russell Brand is a conspiracy theorist; Russell Brand is the right wing.
I know that newspapers make phone calls and send letters to people I know. It has long been clear to me, or at least it seems to me, that there is a serious and concerted agenda to control these kinds of spaces and these kinds of voices.
I need my voice along with your voice. I don’t mind if they use my books and stand-up to talk about my past promiscuous sexual behavior. What I seriously refute are these very, very serious criminal allegations.
It is also worth noting that there are witnesses whose statements directly contradict the narratives that these two mainstream media outlets are trying to construct, apparently as part of what I believe is a coordinated attack.
Because the allegations are so serious, I don’t want to go into detail here, but I feel like I’m being attacked, and obviously they work very closely together.
We will of course look into this matter because it is very, very serious.
In the meantime, I want you to stay close to me, stay awake, but more importantly, if you can stay free.
