A former personal assistant to Russell Brand tells a court that he mistreated women, and that she left the job after feeling she had had enough. Multiple outlets report she says she quit because she was “sick of him” and describes her experience of how women were treated while she worked closely with him about two decades ago.

Several reports also include an allegation that Brand used MySpace to find women for sex, citing the assistant’s account. Another outlet adds further detail, saying she described a workplace atmosphere she felt excused and “normalised” the treatment of women, and that she left after about nine months. RTE also frames the story around her claim that she saw women being mistreated and her decision to stop working for Brand.

Across coverage, the core elements—court testimony by the ex-assistant, claims of poor treatment of women, and her departure—are consistent, while the level of contextual detail varies between outlets.
