Brand faces allegations of sexual assault and rape from four different women.
One of the comedian’s accusers, identified as Nadia, stated that she initially met Brand at a party in June 2012, where they exchanged contact information and later engaged in consensual sexual activity at his Los Angeles residence.
Nadia again met with Brand on the morning of July 1, 2012. However, during this meeting, he allegedly suggested that she perform sexual activities with him and a friend who was waiting in her bedroom, but she refused.
However, when she “tried to get away from him,” the actress pushed her against a wall, grabbed her underwear, and dragged her aside.
“He is much taller than me. And he had a sad look in his eyes again. And I can’t move. And I told him, ‘Get down, get down,’” the alleged victim recounted the experience in an interview with The Sunday Times.
She added that Brand did not oblige her request and instead raped her against the wall without a condom.
Nadia claims that she then sent a text to Brand that read, “When a girl says[s] NO means no.” He also claimed that the comedian responded by saying, “I’m so sorry.”

Before the gruesome rape and sexual assault allegations, Brand shared a video online in which he denied ever having committed any such act.
He stated that, during the height of his fame in the acting industry, he was quite promiscuous. However, he later insisted that all sexual interactions were consensual.
“Now, during that time of association, the relationship I have is really, always like each other,” he said. “I was always transparent about it then, almost too transparent, and I’m transparent about it now.”
Brand suggested that the allegations were aimed at bringing him down because of his highly controversial views.
“To see that transparency metastasize to a crime, which I absolutely deny, makes me question, is there another agenda at play?” he said at the time.
After the allegations were made public, Brand shared another video, thanking his supporters for “questioning” the information they were given, but did not address the allegations directly.
