Russell Brand had ‘insane sexual appetite’ and his bad behaviour was normalised, trial told
Helen Berger said Brand found women online to feed an "insane sexual appetite" and that colleagues normalized his behavior, she told the court.
- On Thursday, a friend testified at Southwark Crown Court that Russell Brand scolded an alleged rape victim, calling her "disgusting" and instructing her to clean up after allegedly shifting from "charming to violent and cold-hearted."
- Former personal assistant Helen Berger testified on Monday that Brand possessed an "insane sexual appetite" and was "sleeping with people day and night," describing the work environment as emotionally exhausting and "really hard work."
- Berger testified Brand used MySpace to find women and acted like a "peacock," while those surrounding him were "normalising bad behaviour," creating an environment where mistreatment seemed like "just the way it is."
- The prosecution case nears completion, with Brand's defense expected to begin on Tuesday as he denies all charges, including three counts of rape and three counts of sexual assault, maintaining all activity was consensual.
- Prosecutors allege Brand committed seven offenses against six women spanning 1999 to 2009; the 51-year-old faces three rape counts, three sexual assault counts, and one indecent assault charge in a trial expected to last six weeks.
