British comedian and actor Russell Brand is denying allegations of sexual assault against him following a joint investigation published Saturday by the Times of London, The Sunday Times and Channel 4 Dispatches.
In a video posted to his social media accounts, Brand denied the allegations and said his relationships have all been consensual. He said he received "extremely disturbing" communications from a mainstream TV company and a newspaper "listing a litany of extremely egregious and aggressive attacks."
"But amidst this litany of astonishing, rather baroque attacks are some very serious allegations that I absolutely refute," Brand said.
An attorney for Brand declined to comment on the allegations.
