Russell Brand has been charged by London's Metropolitan Police with multiple counts of rape and assault dating from 1999 to 2005. The charges follow allegations made by four women, reported by UK media in 2023, detailing their experiences of sexual assault or rape by the comedian. Brand, who has recently shifted to social media commentary, has denied the allegations, asserting that all his relationships were consensual. He was previously a prominent figure in UK entertainment and was married to singer Katy Perry from 2010 to 2012.
The 50-year-old former husband of US pop singer Katy Perry repositioned himself in recent years as a social media commentator espousing conspiracy theories.
In 2023, UK media outlets Channel 4 and the Sunday Times published the accounts of four women who said they had been sexually assaulted or raped by Brand.
