Russell Brand: Informal Concerns Were Raised On ‘Big Brother’s Big Mouth’ & Rumors Spread About Presenter Masturbating In Dressing Room, Banijay Report Finds


Russell Brand: An investigation into his time on Big Brothers Big Mouth has been published by Banijay.

The BBC ‘s probe found that five complaints were made about his behavior while he worked on radio shows between 2006 and 2008, while Channel 4’s said it had received “two new worrying allegations” that had been in circulation since he joined Celebrity Bake Off in 2018. Banijay’s investigation said staff on Big Brother’s Big Mouth “felt largely unable to raise concerns about Brand due to his role as talent and a view that Brand’s behaviour was tolerated by senior people,” along with “fear of not being listened to.” He was known to be “very flirtatious” with women he worked with, it added, and would sometimes “be naked” in front of Endemol staffers. Lewis Silkin conducted a “significant number of interviews,” the firm said, spending 385 hours working on the investigation.
