Russell Brand is facing a new sexual assault allegation made by a film extra who worked on the set of his 2011 romantic comedy “Arthur.”
According to a report in People Magazine, a woman identified only as Jane Doe filed a civil lawsuit against the 48-year-old actor in New York State Supreme Court, Suffolk County, on Friday.
In an affidavit obtained by People, the unnamed woman claimed that Brand exposed himself to her in public before later sexually assaulting her in a bathroom on July 7, 2010.

She claimed that Brand “looked drunk, smelled of alcohol, and carried a bottle of vodka on set” before exposing himself to her “in full view of the cast and crew,” as well as employees from Warner Bros. and other production companies involved in the film.

In the court filing, Jane Doe accused Brand of sexually assaulting her in a bathroom “later that same day” while “a member of the production team was guarding the door from outside.”
The anonymous woman claimed she was hired to work on the film for three days, but after the alleged assault she was “not brought back for the second or third day and was only paid for one day of work.”
Representatives for Brand did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

“Arthur,” directed by Jason Winer, was a remake of the 1981 film of the same name and starred Brand in the title role. The cast also included Helen Mirren, Jennifer Garner, Nick Nolte and Greta Gerwig. “Arthur” was released in April 2011.
In the affidavit, the anonymous woman claimed that she had “suffered and continues to suffer extreme embarrassment, shame and fear” as a result of the alleged assault.
“Because of Russell Brand’s sexual assault, I found it difficult to trust others,” Jane Doe said in the filing, according to People.

“I am still pursuing my career as an actress and am terrified of being blacklisted in the industry or suffering any negative repercussions beyond what I have already suffered if my name is linked to a lawsuit over sexual assault against others in the industry,” Jane Doe added. “I can’t bear to imagine my career being jeopardized at this point in my life.”
The woman also claimed she feared “retaliation” if her identity was revealed publicly due to Brand’s fame and large following on social media. The affidavit requested that Jane Doe continue to “pursue my claims to the fullest extent of the law using a pseudonym.”

It states that Jane Doe “has already experienced significant pain, shock, shame and embarrassment due to the psychological impact of the sexual abuse she suffered.”

In addition to Brand, the lawsuit also named Warner Bros., the studio that developed and distributed the film, and other production companies as defendants. However, according to People, none of the affidavits contained specific claims against any of the named defendants other than Brand.
Warner Bros. representatives did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Four more women claimed in September that Brand sexually abused them between 2006 and 2013, according to the Sunday Times.
The accusers, who are not named, include one who says she was sexually abused during a relationship with Brand when she was 16. Another woman claims Brand raped her in Los Angeles in 2012.

A week later, a fifth woman accused Brand of sexual misconduct that she said occurred in 2008. She claimed he had exposed himself to her and laughed about it shortly afterwards.
Brand later took to X, formerly Twitter, to thank his fans for their support.
“Of course it has been an extraordinary and worrying week and I thank you very much for your support and challenging the information presented to you,” he said.
