In 2006 I refused to have sex with Russell Brand. I was in his London flat. There was a lot of heavy petting and we were both down to our pants. He didn’t pressure me when I said no. He wasn’t angry or abusive. Everything that happened was consensual. I stayed the night in his flat and felt safe.
I have had countless non sexual and respectful encounters with him since.
I only heard about the so called ‘open secret’ when a comic mentioned it onstage at this years Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
I have been in the comedy industry for almost 10 years and worked as an actress, dancer and model before that.
I had a friend who was invited over to his flat around 2014/ 2015. She also refused sex. She didn’t have a problem with him.
So based on my own experience (and I am a sexual assault survivor myself -UNRELATED) I find these rumours hard to believe.
The entertainment industry is a cesspit of spiteful, manipulative, envious and opportunistic people.
These women apparently only came forward after being approached by journalists. I went straight to the police after my own UNRELATED sexual assault. Admittedly that got me nowhere and based on that experience, I have not bothered to press ahead legally with other UNRELATED sexual assaults, but I didn’t go to the press either…
Innocent until proven guilty.
The Tories are not your friend. They are callous, power hungry millionaires looking out for only themselves. They should be ashamed of yesterday’s budget.
What an actual gang of morons the tories are la. Imagine pinning the issue with men committing crimes on them changing the gender of a character that flies around in a blue box. #fuckthetories
Whoa. Tracy Chapman performed live for the first time in five years this week.
And it is something special.
