Russell Brand made international headlines earlier this year after being charged with rape, sexual assault, and indecent assault by the U.K.’s Crown Prosecution Service. According to the BBC, Jaswant Narwal of the CPS stated, “We have concluded that Russell Brand should be charged with offences including rape, sexual assault and indecent assault. These relate to reported non-recent offences between 1999 and 2005, involving four women.” At the time, the CPS stated that prosecutors had reviewed the evidence and determined that formal charges were warranted.
Following the announcement, Brand responded on social media, denying all accusations and reflecting on his past behavior. “I was a fool, man. I was a fool before I lived in the light of the Lord,” he said. “I was a drug addict, a sex addict and an imbecile, but what I never was, was a rapist. I’ve never engaged in non-consensual activity. I pray that you can see that by looking in my eyes.”
In October 2025, Brand shared another post announcing that he is “taking some time off to reflect on how (or even if) [he] can be of any use in this fraught, tense and often ugly space.”
