Russell Brand has denied \u2018very serious allegations\u2019 reportedly set to be revealed.<\/p>\n
The comedian and actor, 48, who now hosts his own podcast Stay Free With Russell Brand, took to Twitter aka X on Friday night where he warned stories were set to come out about him which he \u2018absolutely refutes.\u2019<\/p>\n
He said he had been approached by a mainstream TV network and a mainstream newspaper with \u2018extremely disturbing\u2019 correspondence listing \u2018a litany of extremely egregious and aggressive attacks.\u2019<\/p>\n
Amid some \u2018stupid stuff\u2019 in the correspondence, including, he said, that he \u2018shouldn\u2019t be able to attack mainstream media narratives,\u2019 were \u2018some very serious allegations that I absolutely refute.\u2019<\/p>\n
Brand said: \u2018These allegations pertain to the time when I was working in the mainstream, when I was in the newspapers all the time, when I was in the movies.<\/p>\n
\u2018As I\u2019ve written about extensively in my book, I was very, very promiscuous. Now during that time of promiscuity, the relationships that I had were absolutely always consensual. I was always transparent about that then, almost too transparent, and I\u2019m being transparent about it now as well. <\/p>\n
\u2018And to see that transparency metastasise into something criminal that I absolutely deny makes me question is there another agenda at play.\u2019<\/p>\n
He said there had been \u2018coordinated media attacks\u2019 in the past against people like controversial podcast host Joe Rogan, and that he himself had previously been labelled a conspiracy theorist. <\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Brand went on to claim media outlets had been trying to contact people he knows \u2018for ages and ages,\u2019 but \u2018what I seriously refute are these very, very serious criminal allegations.\u2019<\/p>\n
He claimed he had \u2018witnesses whose evidence directly contradicts the narratives that these two mainstream media outlets are trying to construct, apparently in what seems to me to be a coordinated attack.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018Now, I don\u2019t want to get into this any further because of the serious nature of the allegations, but I feel like I\u2019m being attacked and plainly they are working very closely together. <\/p>\n
\u2018We are obviously going to look into this matter because it\u2019s very, very serious.\u2019<\/p>\n
Brand\u2019s video is thought to relate to a special Channel 4 Dispatches episode is set to air on Saturday night, which so far does not have any information as to what the investigation is about.<\/p>\n
Rumours had abounded on social media as to what the 90-minute special could be about, with unconfirmed reports on a gossip site claiming it related to multiple comedians.<\/p>\n
