One of the biggest rape allegations against Russell Brand comes just months after he divorced pop star Katy Perry after 14 months of marriage.
Four women have accused the British comedian and actor of raping and sexually abusing them during the height of his fame between 2006 and 2013, according to a joint investigation published Saturday by the Times of London and Channel 4 Dispatches.
An accuser named Nadia claims the “Arthur” star raped her “against a wall” at her Los Angeles home in July 2012, five months after her divorce from the “Roar” singer was finalized.
The alleged victim was treated at a rape crisis center the same day, according to medical records cited by the newspaper and the network, which is cooperating in the investigation.
Another woman alleged that Brand groomed her and sexually abused her when she was 16. She claims that the 31-year-old celebrity called her “child” and assaulted her during their three-month “emotionally abusive and controlling” relationship, according to the report.

Brand married Perry in October 2010 during a seven-day ceremony at a tiger sanctuary in India, and filed for divorce 14 months later in December 2011.
Brand famously trashed the “American Idol” judges via text seconds before he performed on stage.
“Let’s just say I haven’t heard from him since he texted me saying he was divorcing me on December 31, 2011,” Perry told Vogue in 2013.

Perry also said that Brand didn’t like him being “the boss” and described his behavior as “very hurtful, and… very controlling.”
Perry met the actress in 2009 when she was 25 and he was 35. He filmed a cameo appearance for his movie “Get Him to the Greek.” After meeting again at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, they began dating.
Brand cited “irreconcilable differences” with Perry, in divorce papers filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, and moved on to a relationship with British socialite and filmmaker Jemima Khan.
Perry could not be reached for comment Saturday.
Brand denied the alarming claims in an online video released Saturday before the report was published.
“Amid this shocking, somewhat baroque attack, there are some very serious allegations that I absolutely deny,” he said, adding that the allegations stemmed from a time when he was “very, very promiscuous,” which he said he wrote “about -count extensively. in my book.”
“Now at the time of that association, the relationship I had was really, really like each other.”
