Jo Whiley Reveals ‘Creepy’ Message Russell Brand Left Her that Still Makes Her ‘Shudder’
Whiley said the note, which called her a MILF, now makes her shudder as Brand serves 10 years and 6 months for rape and sexual assault.
- On Friday, BBC Radio host Jo Whiley revealed a handwritten note from Russell Brand calling her a "MILF" makes her "shudder" following his rape and sexual assault convictions.
- Brand, 51, was sentenced to 10 and a half years in prison on Monday after a jury convicted him of raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others between 2004 and 2009.
- Speaking on their Dig It podcast Thursday, Whiley and broadcaster Zoe Ball, 55, discussed the "harrowing" case, with Whiley saying she "cried" for victims and the verdict felt "extraordinarily important."
- Mr Justice Joel Bennathan condemned Brand's "staggering arrogance" during sentencing, describing him as a "sexual predator" who "told a series of lies" throughout the trial.
- Whiley plans to tear the page containing Brand's note from her show book and burn it, reflecting on the "massive empathy" she observed from both men and women regarding the abuse cases.
