NextImg:Russell Brand accused of exposing his ‘willy’ to woman, laughing about it on radio show

This actor is being branded for his alleged bad behavior.

A woman has claimed that Russell Brand exposed himself to her and then joked about it moments later on “The Russell Brand Show” for BBC Radio 2.

According to the disturbing allegations reported by the BBC, the alleged victim, whom they are calling Olivia, claimed the assault happened on June 16, 2008, during the time she was working at the BBC’s Los Angeles location.

After letting Brand, 48, and his team inside for a taping, Olivia went to the bathroom next to the radio station, where she bent down and squatted to get some sinus medication from a medicine cabinet.

It was at that moment, she claimed, that she felt a presence behind her.

Turning around, she was face-to-face with the Brand’s crotch.

“I was startled and got up and I realized it was the man that I’d let in — Russell,” she recalled. “As I open up the cupboard doors under the sink, I felt someone behind me.”

According to Olivia, the 48-year-old actor then said he was going to call her Betty. After she replied that wasn’t her name, he reportedly responded, “Well, I’m gonna f–k you.”

When she replied, “No, you’re not,” he pulled out his penis in his hand and “pretty much served it to me as you would be serving someone some food,” she claimed.

Russell Brand was accused of raping, sexually assaulting and abusing four women over the course of seven years from 2006 to 2013.

Olivia recalled feeling trapped because the bathroom door was closed.

“There was a bit of banter going on because I didn’t know what to do,” she said, adding that Brand then put his penis back in his trousers and left after someone banged on the door and called for him.

Afterward, the “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” actor was recorded laughing with his co-presenter Matt Morgan, who said Brand “showed his willy to a lady.”

The Post has reached out to Brand for comment regarding the allegations.

In the BBC’s coverage of the accusation, the organization said that “it was sorry to hear the allegations and would investigate them as part of a review into Brand’s time at the BBC.”

BBC Director General Tim Davie announced there would be a review of the incident and they would be inviting Olivia to speak with them.

“We would be very keen to hear from her and anyone else who may have information,” the BBC statement said. “We will of course speak to the bureau team and anyone who was working there in 2008 as part of this. Further, the Director General has been very clear that some broadcasts from that period were, and are, inexcusable and totally unacceptable, and would never be aired today.”

The news outlet is also investigating how that part of the show made it on air and was broadcast days later.

According to the report, a formal complaint was never made by Olivia at the time of the incident. BBC management was informed about the incident in 2019, but no formal action was taken.

“I thought to myself, ‘Oh, that’s a bit strange nobody has come to say sorry to me, for his behavior.’ So I thought perhaps that particular audio — because it was so graphic — had been cut out, which is probably why I never pursued it,” she said.

“I feel ashamed, but more so I wonder had something been done, perhaps there would have been fewer women he would have done horrible things to, which we’re reading about in the papers now,” she added.

Brand was accused of raping, sexually assaulting and abusing four women over the course of seven years. One alleged victim was a 16-year-old he reportedly called “the child,” according to a bombshell report he denied prior to its release.

The allegations against the performer stem from the height of his fame between 2006 and 2013, according to a joint investigation published by the Sunday Times of London, the Times of London and Channel 4 Dispatches.

Brand denied the allegations in a video on YouTube and X, formerly Twitter, alerting fans to “serious criminal” allegations that he said would be made against him.

“Amidst this litany of astonishing, rather baroque attacks, are some very serious allegations that I absolutely refute,” Branded shared. “The relationships I had were absolutely, always consensual.”

While the investigation proceeds, YouTube has suspended Brand from making money on the video streaming site, his pub “Crown Inn” located in Pishill, Britain, has been temporarily shut down and BBC has formally launched a review into the comedian’s time at the network.
