A woman has accused Russell Brand of raping her against the wall in his Los Angeles home in 2012.
Among explosive allegations, reported by The Sunday Times, ‘Nadia’ who was in her 30s at the time, claims she exchanged numbers with Brand at a party before being invited to his house in June 2012 where they went on to have consensual sex.
The businesswoman, who the Times are calling Nadia, met up with Brand again at his house on the morning of July 1, during which she alleges that the comedian raped her against a wall after she told him multiple times to ‘get off’.
Text messages from a number – that the Times says it has verified was Brand’s at the time – show that he messaged her that same morning at 3.29am, saying ‘I’m sorry, that was crazy and selfish’.
The bombshell allegation is one of a number of those revealed by the Times ahead of Channel 4’s latest Dispatches investigation which are claimed to have taken place between 2006 and 2013.
