The woman who accused Russell Brand of grooming and sexually assaulting her when she was 16 claims she was picked up at school and taken to the actor’s home for sex in a car paid for by the BBC.
The latest bombshell from the Sunday Times, which broke the allegations against Brand with the Times of London and Channel 4 Dispatches, came as the BBC announced it was “immediately looking into issues” relating to when the underdog British comedian worked for the network.
The star’s alleged victim told the news outlet she remembers as a teenager going back and forth from Brand’s north London home in a chauffeur-driven car paid for by the corporation.
The woman, who goes by the pseudonym Alice, said she first got into the BBC car when it was initially booked to take Brand to his radio show.
“But he had a friend who took him so I had to use the car,” he said, adding that a BBC driver took him from Brand’s house to his grandmother’s house one day.
“And then when the car picked me up from school, it was the same car… I knew it was a BBC car,” he told the Sunday Times.

Alice is one of four women who have accused Brand of rape, sexual assault and sexual abuse.
Brand vehemently denied the allegations.
Alice claims she was 16 when the 31-year-old star called her a “child” and assaulted her during an “emotionally abusive and controlling” three-month relationship, according to initial reports.
He was older than the legal age allowed in the UK at the time.

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.
Brand, 48, worked for the BBC radio program between 2006 and 2008 and the shocking allegations were included in Sunday Times reports from 2006 to 2013.
“The documentary and related reports contain serious allegations, spanning several years. Russell Brand worked on the BBC radio program between 2006 and 2008 and we are immediately looking into the issues raised,” a BBC spokesperson said.
Network employees warned bosses about Brand’s bad work behavior at least three times, including allegations he exposed himself to a female employee and had sex with a guest on his radio show, sources told the news outlet.
Brand resigned from the BBC in 2008 after he and Jonathan Ross, a guest on Brand’s show, left offensive voicemails for Fawlty Towers actor Andrew Sachs after he failed to turn up for an interview, in which Ross reportedly said Brand slept with Sachs’ grandson. .
