Noel Fielding 'Horrified and Deeply Disturbed' by Russell Brand's Crimes
Fielding said he was unaware of Brand’s crimes and regretted the jokes after the comedian received a 10-year-plus prison sentence.
- The Great British Bake Off presenter Noel Fielding, 53, issued a statement expressing horror at Russell Brand's crimes, days after the comedian was sentenced to ten-and-a-half years in prison for rape and sexual assault.
- Uncomfortable clips from the 2007 Big Fat Quiz of the Year resurfaced this week, showing Fielding and Brand making jokes about sexual assault in front of singer Lily Allen, who was 21 at the time.
- Fielding said he was "appalled" by the "horrible and inappropriate" jokes, characterizing his past collaboration with Brand as "professional relationship, rather than a personal one," and added he had "no contact with him for many years."
- Singer Lily Allen reflected on the incident in 2023, calling the exchange "really horrendous" but noting she remained silent because of the "culture" at the time, while presenter Jonathan Ross has also distanced himself.
- Investigations into further allegations are ongoing, according to The Metropolitan Police, while Brand remains incarcerated at HMP Wandsworth and chief Sir Mark Rowley suggested he would not be surprised if "many more" victims came forward.
