Get the latest on actor Russell Brand, who's now under scrutiny. The allegations include rape, indecent assault, and sexual harassment in separate cases.
Russell Brand's Rape Charges
The claims date back to the late 90s and early 2000s. With a career blooming in films, comedy shows, and a two-year marriage to pop sensation Katy Perry (2010-2012), Brand became a household name.
During the pandemic, Brand got entangled in conspiracy theories and media feuds. He admitted no wrongdoing, slamming the media in a recent video. Previously, he maintained that his relationships were consensual.
While Perry rarely spoke positively about her ex, at a party reported by The Sun, she was quoted saying, "You British are all the same, so bloody arrogant... The problem is, I find that irresistible. I love the Brits... Well, not all of them - Rasputin, of course, not."
Grigorij Rasputin, the Russian, was controversial—an alleged healer adored and detested, having a strong sexual allure that attracted numerous women. Bearing a resemblance to Brand, Rasputin might have been the inspiration for the nickname, but Perry likely chose it for more than just physical resemblance.
