Brand Told Police 'Promiscuous' Celebrity Life 'Reframed'
Brand says his public sex life has been recast as rape and assault claims as he denies any non-consensual sexual activity.
- On Tuesday at Southwark Crown Court, an allegation of indecent assault against Russell Brand was changed to a charge of attempted indecent assault, as the trial involving six women continues.
- Prosecutors read prepared statements Brand gave during four police interviews held between September 2023 and July 2025, during which he insisted he 'never engaged in any non-consensual sexual activity.'
- Barrister Ian Winter KC told the court Brand denies all non-consensual sex, arguing that claims from the six alleged victims have been 'reimagined' since accusations first emerged in 2023.
- Brand characterized the 2023 documentary and newspaper reports as 'defamatory and fictitious,' claiming media and police invitations led to 'further incidents to be reinvented or reimagined.'
- Describing his past interactions as 'friendly, consensual and warm,' Brand noted he routinely made provocative jokes while aware his actions could be publicly recorded and end up in tabloids.
