that is set to air Saturday night in the U.K.
The accusations span a seven-year period from 2006 to 2013, during which time Brand was married to singer Katy Perry from 2010 to 2012. Among the most serious allegations involves a woman who – at the time of her three-month relationship with the then-31-year-oldstar – was allegedly 16 years old. According to the woman, Brand was “emotionally and sexually abusive” during their time together, and one point “forced his penis down her throat,” causing her to choke.
Before the article published and the episode premiered, Brand turned to social media Friday to post a video where he preemptively defended himself against forthcoming “extremely egregious and aggressive attacks” that he “absolutely refutes.” “These allegations pertain to the time when I was working in the mainstream, when I was in the newspapers all the time, when I was in the movies. And as I’ve written about extensively in my books I was very very promiscuous,” Brand said in the video.
