String

OVER the last 20 years, Russell Brand has openly been making female celebrities uncomfortable on TV.

Chilling clips of the rapist have resurfaced since the beast was jailed, illustrating his red flag behaviour over the years.

Brand has been jailed after he raped and sexually assaulted multiple victims as part of a depraved campaign to sleep with 5,000 women.

The disgraced comedian, 51, became a “ruthless, calculated and manipulative” predator as he sought to satisfy his “voracious” sexual appetite.

Brand preyed on women between 1999 and 2009 and used his growing fame – from presenting Big Brother’s Big Mouth and Hollywood movies – to target the victims in a range of locations.

He showed no emotion as he was jailed for ten-and-a-half years on Monday.

‘I’M HORRIFIED’

I had my own horror run-ins with Brand – he did NOT ‘hide in plain sight’

In the wake of his court trial, a series of disturbing videos have been shared on social media.

‘We’re not rapists’ comment

In 2007, Brand joked about rape with Noel Fielding while on the show Big Fat Quiz of the Year.

The episode saw host Jimmy Carr welcome Rob Brydon, David Mitchell, Jonathan Ross, Noel Fielding and Brand onto the panel alongside singer Lily Allen, who was 21 at the time and the only woman on the show.

Jonathan Ross initially told Carr in the clip: “You’ve put the only attractive young lady near to two of the best known coxmen in the business.

“I’m going to move over here. And then Lily [Allen] might go home with her dress still on.”

Noel Fielding said: “How dare you, we’re not rapists.”

Jimmy Carr then replied: “Why are you wearing a cape if you’re not a rapist.”

A grinning Brand said: “What if, horror of horrors, he ain’t even done a rape. You could ruin his career.”

He then casually asked Fielding: “Have you done a rape?”

‘Creepy’ body language on Jonathan Ross Show

Another clip shows Mean Girls actress Lindsay Lohan on The Jonathan Ross Show in London in October 2014, alongside Brand.

Social media users pointed out that Brand appeared to “belittle and subdue” the actress.

He is seen to move his arm close to the actress and points his body at her.

She is seen to “retreat” onto the other end of the sofa as the TV comic moves closer and touches her arm.

Lorraine Kelly ‘grope’

In 2023, Lorraine Kelly quit X the day after she appeared on TV discussing an encounter with Brand.

The Scots telly legend announced that she was taking a break from the social media platform – saying it has “all gone a bit dark”.

Lorraine spoke about the “uncomfortable” moment Russell Brand touched her thigh and called her a “s**t” during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show in 2007.

She was later targeted by cruel trolls on the social media platform following the discussion.

The footage shows Brand placing his hand on Lorraine’s thigh before he comments: “Are you wearing suspenders? Jesus,” before going on to say: “Yes, I have been in other films but it doesn’t seem so important now that I know Lorraine Kelly’s a s**t.”

Lorraine told journalist Paul Brand and Mirror editor Alison Phillips the encounter is now “uncomfortable” to watch and questions whether the moment would be aired now.

Brand asks Vanessa Feltz if he can have sex with her daughter

Another chilling clip shows the moment Brand asked Vanessa Feltz if he could have sex with her 15-year-old daughter on his chat show.

The uncomfortable moment happened when the TV presenter and broadcaster appeared on Brand’s chat show, 1 Leicester Square, back in 2006.

In the clip, Brand asked if he could “have it off” with Vanessa’s two daughters to which the TV presenter firmly said “no you may not”.

Doubling down, Brand declared: “Come on, some of them are adults.”

Appearing visibly more offended, Vanessa then struck a more serious tone, telling Brand: “I’ve got two daughters, the answer is no.”

But Brand did not relent with his vile request and she replied: “Will you stop it.”

He pressed again, saying: “Hold on, you’ve two whole daughters and I can’t even have one. Selfish.”

Vanessa retorted: “When you have your own daughters, you’ll know why I said that.”

Vile Brand grinned as he said: “Well I won’t sleep with them.”

An uncomfortable Vanessa then replied: “I’m not sure about that.”

A laughing Brand then tried to play it off by saying: ‘I’m only mucking about, I’m not actually going to sleep with my own kids. It’s only a joke. It’s only words.”

Vanessa has spoken about the clip on several occasions since and remained vocal about Brand’s “chilling” behaviour.

Recalling the incident, she told This Morning on Friday that his comment was “a  pretty revolting thing to say to anyone, especially a mum.”

She added: “I was quite friendly with him. I found him vastly entertaining. I was absolutely mesmerised by the stream of words, the charisma. I’d never seen a presenter anything like him.

“He just announced, in this unbelievably dispassionate way, that he would like to have sex with me and both my daughters. The younger one was 15 at the time.

“I couldn’t pretend I thought that was funny. It didn’t seem to be a joke.

“I realised then that there was something extremely chilling about him. Something very ruthless and a bit scary and intimidating.

“What he really relished was power over women. He wanted to have sex with the ones who didn’t want to have sex with him, rather than the very many who did.”

Brand pulled singer onto his lap

US singer Katharine McPhee also appeared on The Tonight Show in 2013 alongside Brand.

Host Jimmy Fallon looked shocked as the St Trinian’s actor grabbed McPhee and started bouncing her on his lap.

He told her “you’re beautiful” as she walked out.

The singer previously said: “I know nothing of what you are trying to claim here, but this specific incident was over 10 years ago and it was harmless.”

Brand repeatedly licked actress’s arm

Another video shows Brand interrupting as a presenter reads out a list of “non-acceptable language” on Rove McManus’ show Rove LA in 2012.

As the guests are told there are to be “no graphic or sexual acts”, Brand says: “Rove, at the risk of disrupting your item, would it be considered a graphic or sexual item for me to lick inside Kristen’s arm curtain?”

He then turns and repeatedly licks actress Kristen Schaal’s upper arm.

She shouted “no” three times and shrunk away from the sleazy comic.

RUSSELL Brand has been found guilty of sex attacks on a string of victims as part of a depraved campaign to sleep with 5,000 women.

The 51-year-old became a “ruthless, calculated and manipulative” predator as he sought to satisfy his “voracious” sexual appetite.

Brand preyed on women between 1999 and 2009 and used his growing fame – from presenting Big Brother’s Big Mouth and Hollywood movies – to target the victims in a range of locations.

The three counts he was found guilty of today include a sexual assault at a Soho bar, where Brand was accused of touching a woman’s breasts while they were talking about Big Brother in 2004.

Brand has also been found guilty of sexual assault at a radio station in a “violent, sloppy and frenzied” attack in 2005.

He raped a woman at his Hampstead townhouse in 2009, telling her to “clean up after herself” afterwards, it was found.

The jury also found him guilty of sexually assaulting a Channel 4 worker in 2009, who was forced to give him a massage.

He was found not guilty on three other counts – attempted indecent assault and two counts of rape.

The trial at Southwark Crown Court was told the offences took place when Brand’s “public profile was taking off”.

Instantly recognisable by his trademark skinny jeans, back-combed hair and heavy eye make up, Brand became known for falling out of nightclubs with female admirers draped from his arm.

Some of his victims were lulled into a false sense of security by Brand and believed the comedian was gay as part of his “strategy” to dupe women.

Once they were behind closed doors, the fiend’s mask would drop and he’d become a “monster” hell-bent on fulfilling his rapacious quest to bed 5,000 women.

Prosecutor Riel Karmy-Jones KC said the star was “childlike in his expectation that his every desire should be met” and only cared about his “birth right to orgasm”.

She told jurors all the women were “wholly unconnected” but each “described a pattern that resonates with who Brand was in the period 1999 to 2009”.

Ms Karmy-Jones added: “Six women who have nothing to gain, who have not sought the limelight, who have not looked out for some form of publicity, who have not taken part in a documentary, not made claims for compensation.

“There is no benefit to them, apart from perhaps some closure by coming before you and telling you their accounts of what happened to them so long ago.”

One woman who Brand raped at his home told how the comedian made her feel like a “piece of meat”.

She told she had met the celeb after seeing his show at the Hammersmith Apollo in London with a friend in 2009.

He told her his age range was from “16 to death” before she was invited to a backstage bar where they kissed and had a threesome, it was said.

The woman said she went to his home the next day where Brand told her: “Your hair smells funny”.

He then made her take a shower and wash her hair while he watched through a glass shower cubicle.

Once in the bedroom, the woman said they had consensual sex after he told her: “This is the best decision you’ve ever made, well done”.

She told the court Brand raped her and looked “absolutely f***ing horrified” – making her think he would apologise.

But the woman added: “But actually what he said was ‘you need to clear up the mess that you’ve made’.”

Another woman was in her 20s working at a radio station in the mid-2000s when Brand sexually assaulted her.

She told the court Brand was a “perfect stranger” to her at the time and said his assault was “violent”, “sloppy” and “frenzied”.

The woman also said she had locked eyes” with one of his entourage and was “pleading with her” to stop what was happening.

One victim said Brand “lunged” at her and grabbed her breasts when they were talking about Big Brother in a Soho bar in July 2004.

At the time, he had a “big, weird grin” on his face and “quite strongly” pulled her into the toilet where he orally raped her, she told cops.

When she protested, Brand told her: “Oh come on don’t be a spoil sport, you want to.”

The sixth woman worked for Channel 4 when she met Brand while he was filming a project.

She said she was informed Brand was “unhappy” and the situation would not improve unless she gave him a massage.

The woman said he walked up to a chair she was sitting on and placed his head directly into her groin area.

During his evidence, Brand wore a crucifix and wrung his hands together as he claimed his “promiscuous” past had been twisted into the allegations made against him.

He had admitted having an “obsession” with sex when he was younger but claimed consent is “non-negotiable” and “more important than sex itself”.

Brand added: “I do recognise I have been a very determined and focused man and with regard to the latter, with women, of course, which is the subject of my trial.

“I’ve been persuasive, seductive, begging and flirting, and dedicated a lot of my life to what seems now beyond-reckless philandering and idiocy.”

He admitted it had been “wrong” of him to use his fame for sex but denied he had ever forced himself on a woman.

Brand also tried to paint himself as someone who had reformed but whose life had been “consumed” by the allegations.

He moaned about how he had lost friends and said he was unable to persuade anyone to give evidence on his behalf.

But Brand had one supporter in the public gallery – his wife Laura Gallacher – sister of sports presenter Kirsty – who took to the stand herself after weeks of walking into the court hand-in-hand with Brand each day.

The mum gushed over the star – calling him an “amazingly attentive husband” and a “kind and a wonderful father”.

She told jurors “I love him very much” and claimed they always have sex “at my pace”.

Discussing when they began dating in 2007, Laura added: “I was not experienced, I had only had one partner before Russell.

“I felt entirely cared for and looked after by Russell.”

She told jurors Brand “respected my view” if she said she did not want to do something.

Laura said she was 19 when she met Brand, who was 31 at the time, at Edinburgh Festival.

The mum, who shares three children with the comic, revealed they broke up in summer 2007 when she became “very aware” of Brand’s promiscuity.

She added: “When I met him I was aware that he liked women, and I was aware towards the latter half of that year that he was engaging with other women.

“I wasn’t interested in having a relationship with him if he was sleeping with other people.

“I was invested, we both had told each other we loved each other but it was clear it was difficult for him to be monogamous.”

She said they got back together again as a couple in 2015 and married in 2017.

Brand, who displayed little emotion during the trial, was seen in the dock beaming as his wife spoke on his behalf.

He even laughed when she told the court: “We do have many friends and there are colleagues, and we are grateful for those people.”

In recent years, Brand had re-invented himself into a born-again Christian influencer – an image he bolstered in court by clutching a bible each day.

But his new life in the US came crumbling down when the allegations came to light in a Channel 4 Dispatches and he was thrust back into the public eye.

Brand is now facing a lengthy prison term when he is sentenced.

PUSSYCAT Dolls have kicked rap star Lil’ Kim off their UK tour after a string of controversies.

The Lady Marmalade star, 52, won’t appear for the final night of the run at London’s O2 Arena later today, with the headline act fed-up of her unpredictable behaviour.

A source said: “Kim didn’t show up to their gig in Manchester on Saturday night, and it was all very last minute. It threw everything into chaos and a sign just went up at the last minute to say she wouldn’t be performing.

“As a result, she hasn’t been asked back for the closing night in London tonight, which was seen as the grand finale.

“Her not showing up in Manchester was really the final straw for team PCD, there had been a string of issues where she was challenging to work with.”

The Sun has contacted representatives for the Pussycat Dolls and Lil’ Kim.

No official reason for Kim’s absence in Manchester was given, though some fans claimed she was ill.

However, others noticed she had shared social media videos of herself on her tour bus in the build-up to the gig where it looked she was playing video games.

One fan wrote on TikTok: “She was on the tour bus prepping for GTA 6.”

Another posted: “Omg we were there last night how bad is that, not even a comment on sorry she’s no show or anything, playing GTA in the trailer apparently, previous videos of her trying glad she didn’t show.”

Kim came under fire from baffled fans at a previous gig in Paris when a music video playing on the big screens behind her during her set appeared to be synced from her phone and private messages kept popping up before the feed was quickly pulled.

Kim, whose real name is Kimberly Denise Jones, shot to fame in 1994 after being discovered by late rap legend The Notorious B.I.G.

The larger than life star then invited Kim to join the Brooklyn-based rap group Junior M.A.F.I.A, before she launched her solo career with her double-platinum album Hard Core, which debuted at number 11 on the Billboard 200.

Grammy-winner Kim’s biggest hits in the UK are all collabs, including the 2001 number one ‘Lady Marmalade’, a cover commissioned for the Moulin Rouge soundtrack, and 2003 track ‘Can’t Hold Us Down’ with Christina Aguilera, which reached number six.
