In the documentary and a Sunday Times article, Brand was accused of rape and sexual assaults which allegedly occurred between 2006 and 2013.
Brand has denied the allegations. “Amidst this litany of astonishing, rather baroque attacks are some very serious allegations that I absolutely refute,” he stated.
“These allegations pertain to the time when I was working in the mainstream, when I was in the newspapers all the time, when I was in the movies and, as I have written about extensively in my books, I was very, very promiscuous.”
“Now during that time of promiscuity the relationships I had were absolutely, always consensual,” he added.
“I was always transparent about that then, almost too transparent, and I am being transparent about it now as well.”
