Metropolitan Police Release Russell Brand Interview Footage
Met Police released interrogation footage showing Russell Brand silent as officers detailed allegations after a jury found him guilty of rape and sexual assault.
- On Thursday, November 5, 2026, a jury at Southwark Crown Court convicted 51-year-old comedian Russell Brand of rape and sexual assault against four women. The Metropolitan Police subsequently released recordings from interviews conducted between November 2023 and July 2025.
- During interrogations, Brand repeatedly responded with, 'I have nothing further to add at this time,' while attacking the 2023 investigation by The Times, The Sunday Times, and Channel 4 as 'defamatory and fictitious.'
- Investigators confronted Brand about specific allegations, including claims he removed a condom before assaulting a 21-year-old admirer at his Hampstead home in 2009. He maintained his sexual encounters were 'friendly, consensual and warm.'
- Mr Justice Joel Bennathan remanded the comedian in custody, indicating a substantial prison sentence was inevitable. Sentencing is scheduled for Monday, November 9, 2026, as Operation Actinolite continues investigating further allegations.
- Outside court, Brand's barrister Ian Winter verbally attacked journalist Rosamund Urwin after she stated she was 'pleased justice has been done.' Sunday Times editor Ben Taylor later described the outburst as 'reprehensible.
