A woman alleging that Russell Brand raped her later confronted him, stating he had “treated her like an animal,” according to testimony heard during the comedian’s trial at Southwark Crown Court in London. The proceedings have included the playing of recorded police interviews with the female complainant, who claims that she did not consent to anal sex with Brand at his home in 2009.
In the court, the woman recounted being surprised when she received an unexpected text from Brand about six months after the encounter. The message reportedly said he wanted to “push her further.” Her response questioned why he was contacting her at all. She recalled Brand’s reply: “Because you’re dirty and I want to push you further.” The jury heard that she initially did not respond due to feeling upset but later sent a message saying, “I think you’ve pushed me far enough, you treated me like an animal.” According to her, Brand’s immediate answer was an apology.
The woman said she met Brand for the first time at one of his comedy performances at the Hammersmith Apollo in 2009. At that time, she was in a relationship but still went to Brand’s dressing room, where she performed a sexual act on him. The court heard that during their subsequent meeting at his house, sex occurred that was not consensual; she had only agreed to vaginal intercourse. It was also mentioned that Brand made her shower and brush her teeth prior to the sexual activity. When asked if there had ever been any discussion about anal sex, she responded firmly, “No.”
Russell Brand, aged 51, denies a total of seven charges, including three counts of rape, three counts of sexual assault, and one count of indecent assault. The accusations involve six women and cover incidents purported to have taken place over a decade, from 1999 to 2009. Brand has consistently maintained that he has never engaged in any non-consensual sexual acts. The trial is still ongoing
