Georgina Baillie has broken her silence on \u2018Sachsgate\u2019 involving\u00a0Russell Brand\u00a0and\u00a0Jonathan Ross\u00a0in a new interview with Piers Morgan.<\/strong><\/p>\nAppearing on TalkTV\u2019s Uncensored, Baillie\u2019s interview aired as Brand, 48, finds himself at the centre of several serious allegations from women accusing him of rape, sexual assault, and predatory behaviour over a seven-year period at the height of his fame.<\/p>\n
Baillie first made press in 2008 when she was in a relationship with Brand, which she has now clarified was more of a \u2018friends with benefits\u2019 arrangement. At the time, she was 20 and he was 30.<\/p>\n
Years later, Brand was sacked from his BBC Radio 2 show after thousands of complaints flooded in following a pre-recorded interview with talk show host Ross, 62.<\/p>\n
During the episode, Brand and Ross phoned late\u00a0Fawlty Towers\u00a0actor Andrew Sachs and left crude messages on his voicemail. It was in these messages that Brand\u00a0boasted about having a relationship with Sachs\u2019 granddaughter\u00a0Baillie.<\/p>\n
Addressing the fallout for the first time, Baillie \u2013 who now works as an artist \u2013 revealed that Brand paid for her rehab to help her recover from addiction.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
He also apologised to her personally for putting intimate details of their \u2018private\u2019 relationship out into the public domain.<\/p>\n
Explaining that Brand was \u2018nice\u2019 to her when they were together, Baillie said nothing \u2018untoward\u2019 ever happened.<\/p>\n
\u2018I was struggling with addiction for about 10, 15 years, and I was finding it very hard to get clean and sober.<\/p>\n
\u2018One of my mutual friends between me and Russell called him up and said, \u201cGeorgie needs some help\u201d, and so he sent me to rehab and I was physically separated from my drug of choice and I got some therapy, and I think that had a big part to play in my recovery journey.<\/p>\n
\u2018He looked me in the eyes and he made amends with me, which is what we do in recovery, we have to make amends with people.\u2019<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
When probed by Morgan on what Brand said to her, Baillie responded: \u2018He just acknowledged that it was a private relationship and it shouldn\u2019t have been made public and that, at the time, he had two daughters, and I think that it really made him grow and change, and I felt it was genuine and that he was sorry.\u2019<\/p>\n
This happened in 2018.<\/p>\n
Baillie was then asked what her reaction was to the shocking claims made against Brand, with one woman claiming he \u2018shoved his penis down her throat\u2019 and abused her when she was just 16 and he was in his thirties.<\/p>\n
\u2018Initially, first of all, I have been a survivor of sexual abuse and I will always believe victims because, why wouldn\u2019t you?\u2019, she said.<\/p>\n
\u2018I wasn\u2019t in the room. We don\u2019t know what happened there. But, my initial thought was, \u201cOh my God, I\u2019m glad I\u2019m not Russell\u201d, because it\u2019s behaviour that he was doing when he wasn\u2019t well,\u2019 she continued.<\/p>\n
\u2018So, when you\u2019re an addict you can cross-addict. If you\u2019re not working a program \u2013 he explained this to me when making amends \u2013 you can be off booze and drugs, but acting out on a sex addiction or a food addiction, and he wasn\u2019t working a program and, as an addict in recovery, I know that he wasn\u2019t well.\u2019<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Morgan then reminded her that this \u2018doesn\u2019t justify rape and sexual assault\u2019, if that is what he did.<\/p>\n
\u2018It does not,\u2019 Baillie assured, adding that she does not recognise the person \u2018described in the reports\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u2018I don\u2019t, but I\u2019m not saying that they\u2019re lies because it was a long time ago, and I think they should be believed and get some help, and that\u2019s part of the recovery process, you make amends, and that\u2019s what he did to me and I hope that he\u2019ll do the same to the others.\u2019<\/p>\n
She then said she\u2019s taking the allegations with \u2018a pinch of salt\u2019 as she agreed it was right for the police to now investigate.<\/p>\n
Baillie has not spoken to Brand since the allegations were made publicly.<\/p>\n
