A woman who says Russell Brand sexually assaulted her while she worked on a Channel 4 shoot says senior network management dismissed her account. Variety and Deadline report that she alleges she told Channel 4 managers about the assault and was met with an approach she describes as being “brushed under the carpet.”
The reports are linked to Brand’s recent conviction and sentencing. Variety says he is sentenced to 10 years and six months after being found guilty of rape and multiple counts of sexual assault. Deadline similarly frames the victim’s comments in the context of Brand’s conviction and notes the Channel 4 role tied to the case. The Belfast Telegraph headline echoes the same allegation about how TV bosses handled the complaint.
