In a special episode of Channel 4\u2019s Dispatches, which aired on Saturday 16th September, after a joint investigation between the Channel 4 programme and The Sunday Times<\/a>, five women were interviewed about their experiences with the comedian and actor.<\/p>\n Four women alleged sexual assaults between 2006 and 2013 and Brand was also accused of predatory, controlling and abusive behaviour. Brand has strongly denied the accusations.<\/p>\n Following the programme, a spokesperson for Channel 4\u00a0(per The Telegraph<\/a>) said: \u201cWe\u2019ve taken down all content featuring Russell Brand while we look into the matter.<\/p>\n \u201cThis includes episodes of The Great British Bake Off and the Big Brother box sets that he appeared on.\u201d<\/p>\n In a video posted to social media the day before Dispatches aired, Brand said he \u201cabsolutely denies\u201d the allegations, saying his relationships were \u201calways consensual\u201d.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cI\u2019ve received two extremely disturbing letters, or a letter and an email, one from a mainstream media TV company and one from a newspaper, listing a litany of extremely egregious and aggressive attacks as well as some pretty stupid stuff, like my community festival should be stopped, I shouldn\u2019t be able to attack mainstream media narratives on this channel, but amidst this litany of astonishing, rather baroque attacks, are some very serious allegations that I absolutely refute.<\/p>\n \u201cThese allegations pertain to the time when I was working in the mainstream, when I was in the newspapers all the time, when I was in the movies. As I\u2019ve written about extensively in my books, I was very, very promiscuous. During that time of promiscuity, the relationships I had were absolutely always consensual. I was always transparent about that then, almost too transparent, and I\u2019m being transparent about it now.\u201d<\/p>\n RadioTimes.com<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0has contacted representatives for Russell Brand for further comment.<\/p>\n This is happening pic.twitter.com\/N8zIKLbJN2<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Russell Brand (@rustyrockets) September 15, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote>![\"Russell](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2019\/03\/Bake-Off-2019-SUTCrx2-Episode-1.781-copy-2-dba3892.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C426\" "\\"THE")
