Warner Bros. May Unveil Hours of ‘Arthur’ Outtakes as Evidence in Russell Brand Assault Case

Russell Brand was accused of sexually assaulting an extra on set of 'Arthur' in 2023. Warner Bros. is offering to hand over hours of unseen footage.

In 2023, an extra on the film claimed Brand exposed himself “in full view of the cast and crew” before assaulting her in a bathroom in a suit that named Warner Bros. Discovery, Bender-Spink, and Langley Park Pictures —the co-defendants in the case — either had employees on set the day she was allegedly assaulted, or at least bear some responsibility for what she claims transpired. Brand’s legal representatives have expressed concern about the overlap in these assault cases, stating there is “reasonable belief criminal prosecution is possible in the US based on allegations tantamount to criminal sexual misconduct occurring in the US, of which he has been falsely accused both by this civil plaintiff and several others through the media.” Last week, Judge Shlomo Hagler rejected a request from Brand’s legal team to delay proceedings in the New York case.
