British actor and comedian Russell Brand has been accused by four women of rape, sexual assault and emotional abuse, according to a journalistic investigation. Brand denied, through his social networks, having committed these crimes. "Amid this litany of astonishing and quite baroque attacks there are some very serious accusations that I absolutely refute," he said.
The victims claimed that they had been raped by the actor between 2006 and 2013, a time in which the British actor was married to the singer Katy Perry, whom he married in 2010. As a result of all these testimonies, an old interview has been recovered from the artist, in which she suggests that the reason for their breakup could be something more than what the couple officially communicated at the time.
The singer and the comedian married in October 2010, just four months after meeting on the filming of Todo sobre mi desmadre, in which the artist made a cameo. A fleeting marriage, since just 14 months later they divorced. A separation that surprised the entire world, as they broke up through a text message. The actor sent it to him moments before he left for a concert.
The singer has never revealed what was in that text message, but she did hint at some details of the breakup. A year after her divorce, Katy Perry starred on her first Vogue cover, granting an extensive interview in which she revealed that the comedian left her because he didn't like her being in charge.
"When I met him, he wanted an equal, and I think a lot of times strong men want an equal, but when they have that equal they're like, 'I can't stand that equality,'" she said. "I don't like it." "I liked that she was the boss on tour. It hurt me. She was very controlling, which was worrying."
In addition, the artist added that she had discovered something about her ex-husband that she could not talk about in the interview.
"I felt a great responsibility for the breakup, but when I discovered the true reality, which I can't talk about, I let it go and told myself: 'It's not about me, this is above me.' I've gotten over it," he confessed.
He did not mention anything about Brand's accusations, but everything seems to indicate that it could refer to one of these serious episodes, since they coincide in time.
The London Police (Met) has already launched an investigation into these alleged sexual assaults and abuse by the actor, whose behavior will also be investigated by the BBC, where Brand worked between 2006 and 2008. The police force will investigate the accusations raised in the investigation. prepared by the aforementioned media, and they invited anyone with information to come to them.
The actor reacted to all these accusations. He did it when the investigation came to light, and through his social media accounts. In the images, Brand denies having committed the "serious accusations" that the media participating in the investigation attribute to him, without specifying which accusations they were referring to.
"Amid this litany of astonishing and quite baroque attacks there are some very serious accusations that I absolutely refute," he said.
"These accusations relate to the time when I was working in the mainstream, when I was in the papers all the time, when I was in the movies and, as I've written at length in my books, I was very, very promiscuous. Now "During that time of promiscuity the relationships I had were absolutely, always consensual. I was always transparent about it then, almost too transparent, and I'm being transparent about it now too."
