Brand preemptively denied the allegations in a video posted to his YouTube channel Friday, saying that he refuted the"very, very serious criminal allegations" about to come out against him. Brand, who has refashioned himself as an anti-establishment commentator and given a platform to conspiracy theories about vaccines and the 9/11 attacks, said he was being targeted by the"mainstream media" because of his views.
Another woman alleges that she became involved with Brand when she was 16 and he was 31, and that he referred to her as"the child" in their relationship. According to the woman, Brand reportedly forced his penis down her throat, making it difficult to breathe, and she fought him off by punching him in the stomach.
