Russell Brand appears in UK court charged with further sexual offences

Russell Brand faces fresh UK court charges over alleged rape and sexual assault in US

The UK comedian appeared in a Westminster magistrates' court via video link from Florida on Tuesday afternoon as he faced new charges of two further sexual offences. The 50-year-old is also currently charged with one count of rape and one count of sexual assault, bringing the total to five original charges.

Brand previously denied allegations of rape and other forms of assault involving four women between 1999 and 2005. However, new evidence emerged last year that prompted him to be re-charged in December with a second set of sex crimes.

The two alleged offences which have been added to the list are said to have taken place in 2009.

Brand was granted bail to attend an upcoming court hearing in London and will face trial later this year at Southwark crown court.

Channel 4, along with The Sunday Times reported on allegations against Brand, following which he denied all claims stating that his relationships were consensual.
 
OMG u guys I just can't even rn I'm still trying to process everything going on with Russell Brand I feel so bad for the ppl who are coming forward and sharing their stories about what happened to them I know it's not easy to talk about this kinda thing but we gotta listen and believe them I'm not a fan of his comedy or any of his shows anymore idk how someone can be that messed up ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ’” I've been thinking maybe he should just take responsibility for his actions instead of always denying everything like what did he do tho? ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ‘€ I don't think it's cool that the cops are re-charging him now either like, we get it Russell you messed up but now there are more people who might be affected ๐Ÿ’• anyway I'm just hoping justice is served and ppl can finally move on from this stuff ๐Ÿ’–
 
๐Ÿ˜ž๐Ÿค• just heard about Russell Brand and my heart is aching ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ’”. Can't believe the new charges and how serious it's getting ๐Ÿ‘Š. I remember when I was younger, my mum used to tell me that everyone deserves two chances ๐Ÿ”„. But now, it seems like he's facing five counts ๐Ÿ˜ฑ. Hope he gets the help he needs ๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒŸ. I'm thinking of those four women involved ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ’•. Can't imagine what they must be going through ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜ข. Bail was granted though, so fingers crossed for him ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ’ผ. Anyway, let's hope justice is served ๐Ÿš”๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™‚๏ธ.
 
just when you think celebrities are above the law ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ... Russell Brand is a perfect example of how power and fame can be a recipe for disaster ๐Ÿ’”. I mean, four women coming forward with similar allegations? That's not just suspicious, that's red flag waving loud and clear ๐Ÿšจ. And now he's trying to spin this by saying all his relationships were consensual? Give me a break ๐Ÿ˜’. The fact is, we don't know what really went down behind closed doors, but when there's enough evidence to warrant multiple charges, you've got to take notice ๐Ÿ’ก.

And let's be real, Channel 4 and The Sunday Times played a huge role in blowing the whistle on this ๐Ÿ“ฐ. Kudos to them for doing some actual journalism instead of just sugarcoating everything with PR spin ๐ŸŽค. This is a wake-up call for all of us to be more vigilant when it comes to believing victims and holding people in power accountable ๐Ÿ’ฏ. It's time for a change, and I hope Russell Brand gets the justice he deserves ๐Ÿคž
 
man I feel bad for russell brand, like everyone makes mistakes right? we don't know the whole story here, maybe some new evidence came up and now he's facing these charges... it's not cool but let's not jump to conclusions, you know? ๐Ÿค”

i mean, brand has already denied all allegations in the past and stuff, but this new stuff is like, totally different, right? so yeah, i guess we'll just have to wait and see what goes down at court. ๐Ÿ•ฐ๏ธ

channel 4 and sunday times are being super responsible by reporting on it, though. they're not trying to sensationalize or anything... i think it's good that we're having this conversation about consent and boundaries and all that jazz ๐Ÿ’ฌ
 
๐Ÿ˜ž just when you think someone's got their life together, right? I mean, Russell Brand's been making waves in the entertainment world for years, and now this... ๐Ÿคฏ five counts of rape and sexual assault? That's a whole different story, fam. And honestly, I'm still trying to process everything. I know he's denied all allegations before, but sometimes you've gotta face the music, you feel? ๐Ÿ’” From what I've gathered, new evidence came to light last year that led to these fresh charges... not good for his rep, though. ๐Ÿ‘Ž Anyway, hope he gets a fair shot in court and whatever happens, he'll have to deal with it. ๐Ÿคž
 
omg isnt this so disturbing another powerful guy in the spotlight gettin accused of some serious stuff cant we have a conversation about consent without it turning into a rape trial lol anyway think its time for us to shift the focus from blame & shame to actual support & healing for the victims of these alleged crimes
 
๐Ÿค• I'm still trying to process the news about Russell Brand... it's really sad when someone in a position of fame and influence is accused of such serious crimes ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™‚๏ธ. The fact that new evidence came to light and he's being re-charged again makes me wonder if justice will ever be served ๐Ÿ˜•. I don't think it's fair on the women who have come forward with their stories, they deserve answers and closure ๐Ÿ’”. At the same time, Brand has a huge following and his career is all over the news... maybe we can use this as an opportunity to spark conversations about consent and healthy relationships in the entertainment industry ๐Ÿค—? Anyway, I hope he gets a fair trial and that the truth comes out eventually ๐Ÿคž.
 
I'm gonna be honest, it's super sad to see someone like Russell Brand go through this, ya know? He was always good at making us laugh and talk about some pretty deep stuff ๐Ÿคฏ. But I guess you can't escape the past forever. The fact that he's being re-charged with more allegations is really tough to watch... it's like, you want to believe in his whole 'I'm a changed man' thing, but at the same time, you gotta look at all the evidence ๐Ÿค”.

It's also kinda wild that he was able to keep this stuff under wraps for so long. I mean, four women come forward with these allegations and he just denies them... it's like, dude, what were you thinking? ๐Ÿ˜‚. But seriously, this is a really serious situation and I hope he gets the help he needs.

You know, as much as I love some of his old stuff, I don't think anyone can be 'funny' about something like this ๐Ÿค•. It's just not right to make light of someone going through something so tough... especially when they're facing serious charges.
 
๐Ÿ˜” my heart goes out to all the victims of Russell Brand's alleged actions... it's just so sad and frustrating how these powerful ppl can hurt so many innocent people ๐Ÿค• i'm trying not to jump to conclusions or make any judgments, but it's hard not to think about the girls who might've been affected by his behavior ๐Ÿ˜” anyway, i wish him all the best for when he gets to trial and hopes he'll be held accountable for his actions ๐Ÿ’ฏ
 
man... just when you think you know someone's whole story, right? Russell Brand, I mean... I've been following this for a bit and it's wild how the narrative changes. First, he's denying all allegations, then new evidence pops up and suddenly he's re-charged with more crimes. it's like, what's going on here?

I'm not gonna sit here and judge him or anything, but five alleged sex crimes? that's a lot to take in. I mean, Channel 4 did some reporting last year that brought all this back to the surface... I guess you could say they were trying to get truth out there.

anyway, he's got bail now and is set for trial later this year... wish him luck, right? ๐Ÿคž
 
I'm so worried about Russell Brand right now ๐Ÿค•. I mean, he's been through some stuff in the past already, you know? He was in rehab like three times, and then he became a comedian to cope with it all ๐Ÿ’”. And now this new stuff comes out, it's just... ugh.

I remember watching him on TV back in the day, and I thought he was hilarious ๐Ÿคฃ. But now, it's just so sad. He's still denying everything, but what if he's not telling the truth? What if these women really were hurt by him?

It's all just so messy ๐Ÿ˜ฉ. And to think that Channel 4 is reporting on it, it's like they're keeping an eye on him 24/7 ๐Ÿ‘€. I feel bad for his family too - they must be going through a tough time.

I wish he could just take responsibility and apologize already ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ. But at the same time, we need to make sure that justice is served... whatever that means ๐Ÿค”.
 
OMG, just saw the news about Russell Brand getting new charges ๐Ÿคฏ. I feel bad for him and also kinda angry that these allegations keep popping up again ๐Ÿ™„. I mean, even if he's got a good lawyer now and all that, it's still super tough to deal with accusations like this... especially when they're coming out of nowhere 15 years later ๐Ÿ’”. And honestly, no matter what happened in the past, it's not about whether or not his relationships were consensual... it's about what he allegedly did ๐Ÿค•. I wish him all the best, but at the same time, I hope he takes responsibility for whatever happened and seeks help if needed ๐Ÿ’ฏ.
 
Ugh I'm so done with Russell Brand right now ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ’” He's always been a bit of a joke to me but this is just sickening. Like what even is the deal with these allegations? One minute he's making us laugh and the next we find out he's allegedly done some super serious stuff to women ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™‚๏ธ I don't know how you can be so reckless with someone else's consent, it's not funny at all. And now he's denying again but like, even if he says his relationships were consensual doesn't change the fact that people have come forward saying otherwise ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ‘€ The system needs to catch up and take these things seriously before someone gets hurt, you feel?
