Everything Russell Brand has been dropped from following sexual assault allegations

Following allegations of rape, sexual assault and emotional abuse, comedian Russell Brand has been dropped from a number of connections made during his career.

This weekend, following a joint investigation with Channel 4’s Dispatches, The Times and The Sunday Times, accusations from four women of rape, sexual assault and emotional abuse were made public. The allegations, which Russell Brand has vehemently denied, are from 2006 to 2013, in the height of his career as a comedian and TV presenter.

Brand posted a video, in which he claimed relationships he’s had have been “always consensual” and referred to “corruption” in the news and “disturbing letters” from publications containing “attacks” against him. Despite this, a number of organisations and people have dropped associations with Russell Brand, following the claims which were published.
