Ahead of the story, Brand had vehemently denied all “worrying” claims the day before the revelations were published.
He addressed the accusations in a video, stating, “I have received two alarming letters, or letters and emails, one from a mainstream media TV company, one from a newspaper, listing a litany of horrific and aggressive attacks. Amidst this litany of stunning, somewhat baroque attacks there are some weighty allegations that I dispute.”
The “Bedtime Stories” actress continued: “When I was in the movies, and as I wrote extensively in my book, I was very, very promiscuous. During that time, the relationships I had were always consensual.”
