Russell Brand 'moves to the US' and claims he's being 'attacked' by British authorities amid the BBC's damning misconduct review
The comedian, who is being investigated by police over historical allegations of sexual assault, is believed to have taken his family to Florida from Oxfordshire last autumn.
'I don't live in the United Kingdom any more because I personally have experienced how the media, government and judiciary - if you suddenly become an inconvenience - will find ways to attack and shut you down,' he said on Rumble, per The Times. The move comes amid the BBC 's apology to staff over Russell's conduct this week, which found that colleagues felt 'too scared' to speak up and believed he would 'always get his way'. It also investigated management 'failings', including his relationship with the then-controller of Radio 2 Lesley Douglas, who resigned over a prank call Brand made to Fawlty Towers actor Andrew Sachs.
