“But I do recall him being very touchy-feely and thinking it was pretty full-on given I didn’t know him.” The actual interview between Armytage and Brand then began with the comedian complimenting Armytage on her appearance. Another woman alleged Brand sexually assaulted her when they worked together in LA, claiming he threatened to take legal action if she ever told anyone about what happened.Each of the women were unnamed during the television report.
