Television executives allegedly considered removing all female staff from shows helmed by Russell Brand over fears they would be “assaulted or harassed” by the British comic.
Alice, who later went on to work at Channel 4, recalled a work meeting where Brand was pitched to host a television show, but concerns about his behavior were raised.
Four women have accused the British actor and comedian of raping and sexually abusing them during the height of his career in 2006 to 2013.“The solution that was offered was that we would take the female staff off the crew — women that have worked hard to get into this industry — now can’t work on particular shows because of fear that they might be assaulted or harassed. I was in disbelief,” she said, according to the report.
The then-31-year-old called the teen “the child” and assaulted her during their “emotionally abusive and controlling” three-month relationship, she said. The age of consent is 16 in the UK.
