There are always signs, but people ignore them as fun gesturing.
Russell Brand Suggested a 15-Year-Old Should Have a Sex-Themed Birthday Party Years Before Allegations.
The exchange, resurfaced by Channel 4 Dispatches on X, occurred on ‘The Russell Brand Show’ in 2007
Russell Brand suggested to a 15-year-old that she should have a sex-themed birthday party in a resurfaced clip from his BBC radio show, The Russell Brand Show.
The exchange was shared on X (formerly known as Twitter) on Tuesday by U.K. current affairs show Channel 4 Dispatches, which published a joint investigation with The Sunday Times and The Times on Saturday that included allegations of rape, sexual assault and abuse against Brand.
In the 2007 audio clip, Brand, 48, takes a caller who is looking for ideas for her 16th birthday party.
“I suppose you’re 16, you can’t really drink booze yet, or any drugs because that’s illegal,” the comedian says in the resurfaced clip…
“Now, you will be legally allowed to have sexual partners,” he continues, as the caller laughs. “Now, I think you should theme the party around legal sex.”
Later in the exchange, he suggests she should have a vampire-themed party or masked ball, which he goes on to say is, “in its way, erotic, but in a suppressed, suitable way for a 16-year-old girl.”
In another clip of the show from 2007 — resurfaced by Channel 4 Dispatches in the same thread on X — Brand jokes about having sex with women regardless of “age, race or whether or not they’re awake.”
“That’s the policy I use for women,” the host says in the clip. “Hello, there’s a woman. Let’s not get bogged down in things like age, race or whether or not they’re awake. Just get over there, and give them the night of their lives.”
