Alice says he told her to read Vladimir Nabokov’s “Lolita,” saved her number in her phone under the name “Carly” and even gave her a “script” to lie to her parents.
“It’s isolating,” he told the outlet.
Brand allegedly sent a car to take Alice out of school and to her home, he said. At one point, his driver told him not to enter the comedian’s house.
“‘Help. I am asking you not to go in there. You can be my little girl, and I want someone to do this for her,” Alice recalled the driver saying.
Alice also accused Brand of choking her when he “forced his cock down her throat” and he allegedly punched her in the stomach to get her to stop.

‘Like the devil’
Allegations from Brand’s other accusers include a woman who claims he sexually assaulted her at his West Hollywood property after they met at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, according to the Times of London.
The woman, identified as “Phoebe,” said at one point she noticed the other staff left and she was alone with Brand.
She realizes Brand wants to have sex with her and ends up trapping her in the bedroom and chasing her before pinning her down and attacking her.
“I saw something come over his eyes, I swear to God, like, black, his eyes had no color anymore, they were black, like the devil,” he told the outlet. “Like a different person literally entered his body.”
“I thought he had pulled my pants down but I fought so hard and I screamed so hard, hoping I could get through somehow,” she continued, “I don’t know what the exact definition of ‘sexual assault’ is, but it felt like it. He did not rape me.”

The star became “very angry” but eventually stopped.
Brand’s ex-girlfriend, Jordan Martin, made similar accusations in her 2014 self-published book “kNot: Entanglement with a Celebrity.” She claims he sexually assaulted her at the Lowry Hotel in Manchester, England, after becoming angry that she was talking to an ex-boyfriend.
Martin claims the incident took place during their six-month relationship that began in February 2007.
‘Coordinated attack’
Brand has incorporated stories about his sex addiction and alleged predatory behavior into his routine for years. He has had relationships with several high-profile women, including model Kate Moss, and married pop star Katy Perry in 2010, but the relationship only lasted 14 months.
He is now married to his second wife Laura Gallacher, the mother of his two children. Gallacher, a writer, deleted his Instagram page after news of the allegations emerged on Saturday.
Brand would often have sex with women he met at events, the damning report claimed. Two women who had separate sex with him said he became threatening when they refused to have sex with him, leaving one in tears.
Most of the women who came forward with their stories want to remain anonymous in the revelations and subsequent documentary to be released on Saturday on Channel Four’s Dispatches series.
Brand denied the allegations in a video previously released on YouTube and X, previously Twitter, alerting fans to the “serious criminal” allegations he said would be made against him.
Another accuser who was 16 at the time claimed Brand called her a “child” and assaulted her during their three-month “emotionally abusive and controlling” relationship, according to the report.MEGA
“I have received two very disturbing letters, or letters and emails, one from a mainstream media TV company, one from a newspaper, listing a series of horrific and aggressive attacks,” he said.
“Amidst this spectacular, somewhat baroque attack, there are some very serious allegations that I completely deny.”
The actor said the allegations stemmed from a time when he was “very, very promiscuous,” which he said he wrote “about extensively in my book.”
“Now at the time of the association, the relationship I have is really, always like each other,” he said.
The “Arthur” actor said he believes he was the subject of a “coordinated attack” and that he will look into the matter because it is “very, very serious.”

‘Some things I can’t talk about’
Brand was greeted with a standing ovation at his first appearance since the charge during his sold-out “Bipolarization” show at Wembley Park’s Troubadour Theater Saturday night was an hour late, which he blamed on traffic.

“There are some things I can’t talk about, and hopefully you appreciate that I’m going to give you everything I’ve got,” a seemingly unfazed Brand told fans, according to a video obtained by the Daily Mail.

When he saw a man in the audience who looked like him, he said he could be two bodies.
“That might come in handy,” he joked.
Meanwhile, the UK television station that Brand was on when he rose to fame is now under pressure to explain how many allegations of sexual misconduct they are aware of following claims that it is an “open secret” in the industry.
Leading politicians said the allegations, if true, suggested the potential for “exploitation of power” in the industry and suggested authorities should investigate, the Telegraph reported.
Both Channel 4, where Brand hosted the station’s successful “Big Brother” spin-off show, and the BBC, where he sponsored the show of the same name starting in 2006, issued statements about the allegations Saturday night.
He was fired from the BBC in 2008 after taking part in an obscene phone call with broadcaster and film critic Jonathan Ross to actor Andrew Sachs in which the pair left messages on the “Fawlty Towers” star’s answering machine with comments about Brand’s relationship with his granddaughter.
The BBC referred to an investigation it carried out following the incident, which resulted in a $160,000 fine.
“The circumstances of the breach were reviewed in detail at that time,” he said, according to the Telegraph. “We hope this shows that the BBC is taking the issue seriously and is prepared to act.”
Channel 4 said it was “determined to understand the full nature of what happened.”
“Channel 4 is shocked to learn of these very disturbing allegations, including alleged behavior on programs made for Channel 4 between 2004 and 2007,” a spokesperson said, according to the Telegraph.
