Russell Brand: BBC Acknowledges ‘Power Dynamic’ That Hindered Employee Complaints

BBC investigations into Russell Brand complaints revealed that employees were too intimidated by the comedian's status there to report his behavior.

A continued review revealed three additional complaints about the comedian’s “promiscuous or out-of-control” behavior. BBC Director of Editorial Complaints and Reviews Peter Johnston found that, overall, internal intimidation led to employees being reluctant to report Brand’s behavior to the appropriate parties at the time.

Seventy-two people, including current and former BBC staff members, among others, were approached to share their experiences with Brand. Just over half agreed to contribute. Other passages in the report address claims that Brand utilized BBC services to arrange cars to transport a 16-year-old girl, Alice, from school to his home and to her grandmother’s residence throughout the duration of their three-month relationship.
