Russell Brand has finally spoken out about the shocking sexual assault allegations that have recently surfaced. In a new video posted on social media, the comedian and actor thanked his fans for their support during what he described as an “extraordinary and distressing week.”
The allegations came to light following an investigation by The Sunday Times, The Times, and Channel 4 Dispatches. Multiple women have come forward with disturbing claims, including one who was just 16 years old at the time of the alleged incident.
The Metropolitan Police have launched a fresh inquiry into a separate incident from 2003 involving Brand in Soho. At the same time, internal investigations are ongoing regarding his conduct while working for the BBC and Channel 4.
In his video, captioned “so,” Brand revealed that he will be posting new content exclusively on Rumble, a growing social media platform popular among creators concerned about censorship. This move appears to be a response to increasing UK laws that critics argue enable heavy surveillance and content control.
Rumble offers daily uploads from Brand and reportedly generates thousands of pounds in monthly earnings for him. The platform markets itself as an “open platform” where creators can “speak their truth” without fear of censorship or restrictions commonly experienced on sites like YouTube.
As the scandal continues to unfold, Russell Brand’s career is under intense scrutiny both online and in the courtroom.
