Fawlty Towers' star Andrew Sachs did not speak to his grandaughter Georgina Baillie for eight years following 'Sachsgate' when Georgina was 20 years old and comedian Russell Brand was 30.
A woman at the centre of a high profile fling with comedian Russell Brand, who has been accused of rape, sexual assault and emotional abuse, claimed the 48-year-old made "millions of pounds" out of her when she was only a young woman.
Georgina, who is now 38, says her relationship with the comic was consensual and that she was not attacked by the comic although she says: "I was a young girl completely dazzled by celebrity and I would do anything - and I did." Brand, who strenuously denies the claims made against him which have come to light following a joint investigation by the Sunday Times, the Times and Channel 4 Dispatches, paid for her rehab and apologised to Georgina for his treatment of her.
"As part of the 12-step programme, one of the steps is to personally address issues with people who have been harmed by you, but in Russell's case, there are probably so f*****g many, it's impossible. He also probably doesn't remember a lot of it, and that's not ok for the alleged victims. It's not a justification, there's never a justification, but addiction is very complicated.
