<\/p>\nCOPS have urged any alleged victims to come forward after Russell Brand was accused of rape and sex attacks.<\/p>\n
The comedian has been accused of a series of shocking allegations\u00a0made in a bombshell expose by\u00a0The Times.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
He has denied all allegations made against him.<\/p>\n
The Met Police has now confirmed it is "aware" of the accusations and has encouraged any alleged victims to speak out.<\/p>\n
A spokesman said: "We are aware of media reporting of a series of allegations of sexual assault. <\/p>\n
"At this time, we have not received any reports in relation to this. <\/p>\n

"If anyone believes they have been the victim of a sexual assault, no matter how long ago it happened, we would encourage them to contact police."<\/p>\n
Brand's alleged victims' claims range from rape to sexual assault, to emotional and physical abuse.<\/p>\n
The first woman claimed that the comedian raped her up against a wall at his home in\u00a0Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
According to the woman, Brand apologised to her when she texted him to say "When a girl [says] no it means no" after she had been treated at a rape crisis center, saying he was "very sorry" and would "make it up to her with love and kindness".<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n A second alleged that he forced her to perform oral\u00a0sex\u00a0until she choked while she was just 16 and that she had to punch him in the stomach to make him stop.<\/p>\n Brand would have been 31 at the time.<\/p>\n The girl, given the pseudonym Alice, also claimed he referred to her as "the child" during a three-month-long abusive relationship.<\/p>\n It comes as…<\/p>\n She claimed he asked her to save his name in her phone as "Carly" and sent a car to pick her up from school and ferry her to his home, even claiming that the taxi driver begged her not to go inside.<\/p>\n The third alleged victim, who said that she worked with Brand, claimed he sexually assaulted her before threatening legal action if she spoke out.<\/p>\n And the fourth woman accused him of sexually assaulting her as well as being both emotionally and physically abusive.<\/p>\n A fifth, Jordan Martin, previously wrote in a book about the alleged abuse she endured in February 2007.<\/p>\n She claims he subjected her to emotional abuse, sexual abuse and made her brush her teeth so hard her gums bled.<\/p>\n Woman 1: Claims Brand raped her in his Los Angeles Home<\/p>\n Woman 2: Claims Brand forced her to perform oral sex when she was just 16.<\/p>\n Woman 3: Claims Brand sexually assault her in LA and threatened legal action if she spoke out.<\/p>\n Woman 4: Claims Brand sexually assaulted her and was physically and emotionally abusive<\/p>\n Woman 5: Claims he subjected her to emotional abuse, sexual abuse and made her brush her teeth so hard her gums bled.<\/p>\n The women do not know each other and felt compelled to speak up due to Brand's rise as an online\u00a0influencer.<\/p>\n Just hours after the allegations emerged, Brand went ahead with a stand-up show in Wembley – telling the crowd "there are things I absolutely cannot talk about".<\/p>\n Brand looked stern as he arrived at the venue in West London, but as he walked out on stage he was met with applause and cheers from fans.<\/p>\n Ahead of The Times publishing its expose,\u00a0Brand\u00a0denied all the allegations against him, slamming them as "aggressive attacks".<\/p>\n The actor posted a video to\u00a0YouTube\u00a0in which he said he "absolutely refutes" the claims and that his previous\u00a0relationships\u00a0were "always consensual".<\/p>\n While he admitted to being "promiscuous" during the height of his fame, he firmly denied any criminal aspect to his behaviour.<\/p>\n Hello there, you awakening wonders.<\/p>\n Now this isn't the usual type of video we make on this channel where we critique, attack and undermine the news in all its corruption because in this story I am the news.<\/p>\n I have received two extremely disturbing letters – well a letter and an email.<\/p>\n One from a mainstream media TV company, one from a newspaper, listing a litany of extremely egregious and aggressive attacks as well as some pretty stupid stuff – like my community festival should be stopped, that I shouldn't be able to attack mainstream media narratives on this channel.<\/p>\n But amidst this litany of astonishing, rather baroque, attacks are some very serious allegations that I absolutely refute. 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 have written about extensively in my books I was very very promiscuous<\/p>\n Now during that time of promiscuity, the relationships I had were absolutely always consensual. I was always transparent about that then, almost too transparent. And I'm being transparent about it now as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n And to see that transparency metastasized into something criminal that I absolutely deny makes me question is there another agenda at play?<\/p>\n Particularly when we have seen coordinated media attacks before – like with Joe Rogan when he dared to take a medicine that the mainstream media didn't approve of and we saw a spate of headlines from media outlets across the world using the same language.<\/p>\n I\u2019m aware that you guys have been saying in the comments for a while \u2018Watch out Russell, they are coming for you, you are getting too close to the truth, Russell Brand did not kill himself\u2019.<\/p>\n I know that a year ago there was a spate of articles \u2018Russell Brand is a conspiracy theorist, Russell Brand\u2019s right wing\u2019.<\/p>\n I\u2019m aware of news media making phone calls, sending letters to people I know for ages and ages.<\/p>\n It\u2019s been clear to me or at least it feels to me like there's a serious and concerted agenda to control these kind of spaces and these kind of voices and I mean my voice along with your voice.<\/p>\n I don't mind them using my books and my stand up to talk about my promiscuous consensual conduct in the past. What I seriously refute are these very very serious criminal allegations.\u00a0<\/p>\n Also it\u2019s worth mentioning that there are witnesses whose evidence directly contradicts the narratives that these two mainstream media outlets are trying to construct apparently in what seems to me to be a coordinated attack<\/p>\n Now I don't want to get into this any further because of the serious nature of the allegations, but I feel like I'm being attacked and plainly they are working very closely together<\/p>\n We are obviously going to look into this matter because it\u2019s very, very serious. In the meantime I want you to stay close, stay awake but more important than any of that if you can, please, stay free.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/citizens-maintain-social-distance-2-816386292.jpg\")
