Russell Brand’s Alleged Inappropriate Behavior on Endemol Shows Was Tolerated as ‘Russell Being Russell’ and Not ‘Adequately Addressed,’ Banijay Report Finds


Informal complaints against Russell Brand during his time on Endemol-produced shows were not "adequately addressed," a Banijay investigation says.

In September, Brand was accused of sexual assault and emotional abuse by five women, one of whom alleged rape, in an investigation published by the Sunday Times. Brand has denied the claims, saying in a YouTube video posted after the report went live that he “absolutely refutes” the “litany of astonishing, rather baroque, attacks.” A representative for Brand did not immediately respond to Variety ‘s request for comment on the Banijay investigation.
