This is the best summary I could come up with:
Russell Brand has been accused of rape, sexual assault and emotional abuse, according to a joint investigation published Saturday by British media.
“Four women have alleged sexual assaults between 2006 and 2013, while he was a presenter for BBC Radio 2 and Channel 4 and then an actor in Hollywood films,” The Times said in its exclusive report, which was jointly authored by journalists Rosamund Unwin, Charlotte Wace and Paul Morgan-Bentley.
The media organization said reporters have also “seen private emails and text messages, submitted freedom of information requests, viewed medical and therapists’ notes, scrutinized Brand’s books and interviews, and watched and listened to hundreds of hours of his shows on the BBC, Channel 4 and YouTube to corroborate allegations.”
After launching his career as a standup comedian in the early 2000s, Brand appeared in many TV shows and films such as Get Him to the Greek and Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
In 2006, the Australian celebrity Dannii Minogue referred to his “sex addiction” in the Daily Mirror, and called him “a vile predator.”
But a box office representative at Theatre Royal Windsor, where Brand is scheduled to appear on Tuesday, said the show is currently is “still on,” adding that this could change in the coming days.
