Russell Brand denies allegations that he sexually assaulted a film worker on the set of the 2012 film “Arthur,” according to a report citing his remarks. The outlet says Brand argues the claims cannot be true because he was not able to act in that way at the time. It reports that he links his denial to his then-personal life, stating he was “too in love” with Katy Perry and therefore too “consumed” by his feelings to look at another woman. The same report notes Brand’s marriage to Perry lasted about 14 months. Beyond this, the available material does not include additional details about the allegations, any investigation, or the response from prosecutors or the accuser(s). The coverage presented centers on Brand’s account rejecting responsibility and providing his own explanation for why he believes the accusations are incorrect.
