Russell Brand has been released on conditional bail following multiple charges of rape and sexual assault, with a hearing scheduled for May 30. These allegations surfaced in 2023 based on a joint investigation by The Times and Channel 4. Brand denies the accusations, asserting that his past relationships were consensual. Once a notable figure in U.K. media, he gained fame through shows like Big Brother's Big Mouth and movies like Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Recently, he has embraced commentary on various issues, gaining a massive following online.
The allegations against Brand stem back to 2023, when The Times, The Sunday Times and Channel 4 published a joint investigation speaking with four women who accused Brand of rape and sexual assault between 2006 and 2013.
In the run up to the 2024 presidential election, Brand joined right-wing commentator Tucker Carlson for an event in the battleground state of Arizona. There, he closed out the proceedings on his knees in prayer against 'the dark and demonic forces' of the deep state.
