Russell Brand 'Controlled and Gaslit Women', Court Hears
- On Friday, prosecutor Riel Karmy-Jones KC concluded her closing arguments at Southwark Crown Court, portraying Russell Brand as a predator who treated women as a "disposable commodity" and "means to an end."
- Karmy-Jones detailed a recurring pattern where Brand allegedly charmed victims before a sudden "personality change," using gaslighting tactics like sharing contact information to minimize his actions after alleged attacks.
- Prosecutors highlighted a 2017 interview where Brand described women as "amusements" in a "playground of orgasms," arguing this reflected his "rampant" desire for sexual contact regardless of consent.
- Brand, who denies all seven charges, awaits closing arguments from defense barrister Ian Winter KC on Monday as the trial moves toward jury deliberations beginning next Tuesday.
- Justice Bennathan instructed jurors they must reach unanimous verdicts on all counts, reminding them the burden of proof rests with the prosecution and Brand is entitled to the benefit of the doubt.
