Russell Brand is accused of rape, sexual assault, and controlling, emotionally abusive behavior in a series of incidents between 2006 and 2013 .
Brand denies all the allegations, claiming that the relationships he had during this period were “always consensual” He was a major player in the indie sleaze scene, friends with everyone who was considered cool at the time.
The Dispatches documentary includes audio from Brand ’s BBC radio show in 2007 , during which he offers up his “very attractive” female assistant, naked, saying that she has to “greet, meet, and “massage” anyone he demands.
I remember listening to the show avidly at the time, when I was about 15, and I thought Brand was hilarious.
