uncomfortable

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 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.

Omar has come under fire this week with Big Brother fans after they previously hit out at uncomfortable scenes

A Big Brother housemate has been issued a warning after fans slammed their recent behaviour.

Omar has come under fire with fans lately regarding his negative comments and behaviour towards Rhianna. The two have been growing closer since the start of the show, also admitting their love for one another.

Big Brother previously issued a statement in response to recent calls from a number of fans who called for Omar to be removed from the house. It came after this week saw the two hitting rocky ground with Rihanna describing them like a ‘divorced couple’.

The pair seemed to break off their relationship but at one point Omar went over to her, lowered his head and told her to stop talking about him before leaving the room.

It comes after previous comments from Omar about him not teaching his co-star “how to respect a man”. But amidst the backlash, Big Brother issued Omar with a warning in tonight’s episode (October 21).

Being called to the Diary Room, Big Brother told Omar: “At times it feels you are dismissive about your housemates’ experiences.” They later added that Omar’s language used “on more than one occasion could cause offence to housemates or the fellow public.”

However, Omar hit out at the warning, adding: “I fully understand… I’ve never dismissed housemates feelings in all honesty.” He later said that he didn’t dismiss feelings but rather tell them the truth.

He replied: “Let’s be honest here we’re not talking about housemates, we’re talking about me and Rhianna.” He then continued to say he had done “nothing but look out for her and care for her” before going on to say: “Like I said, I’ve acknowledged my housemates feelings.”

Big Brother replied: “You must always be mindful of the impact your language and behaviour can have on others.”

Later, speaking to Rhianna, Omar said: “Have I ever controlled you in any way, or limited you in any way?” Rhianna said: “I am my own person, no-one can control me. I don’t feel controlled by you.”

Viewers at home expressed their frustrations as one person wrote on X: “Big Brother please boot Omar out, he’s not even giving a f*** about Rhianna’s feelings.”

Another fumed: “This is deeply uncomfortable to watch. Rhianna needs to get far away from Omar as soon as this show’s over.” A third added: “Omar tryna save himself lol, he’s finished.”

It comes after Women’s Aid issued a statement on Instagram, alleging the reality star of displaying controlling behaviour in the house. They wrote: “We’re seeing coercive and controlling behaviours being given a platform in popular media like Big Brother. We’ve been contacted by many viewers who have expressed concern. Not only does Big Brother risk minimising survivors’ experiences, it also risks presenting abuse as a form of entertainment.

“Producers should understand their responsibility to keep contestants emotionally and physically safe. The women in these programmes are real people and need real support. We continue to urge television companies such as ITV to engage with experts like Women’s Aid to understand the nature of abuse and how they can do better to protect contestants.”

However, Big Brother released a statement confirming all housemates “receive Respect and Inclusion training and an extensive briefing from the Big Brother Senior team to prepare them for living in the House and to set out Big Brother’s expectations for appropriate behaviour and language”.

Big Brother continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
