Russell Brand has been accused of pinning a woman down as she refused to have sex with him.<\/p>\n
The comedian, 48, is at the centre of allegations of rape and sexual assault from multiple women following an investigation by Channel 4 Dispatches and The Times.<\/p>\n
He has denied all accusations and says all his relationships have been consensual.<\/p>\n
Now another woman has come forward, alleging that Brand pinned her down and got a \u2018glazed look\u2019 in his eye, something alleged by several women in the investigation, as he allegedly told her: \u2018This is what you\u2019re here for.\u2019<\/p>\n
The woman, who has asked to remain anonymous, spoke to The Sun about the alleged incident, which she says took place in 2008 when she was 21.<\/p>\n
She claimed she and a friend were asked to perform sexual acts on each other, and when they refused and her friend left in anger, Brand began pestering her for sex and was \u2018holding her down.\u2019<\/p>\n

The woman said she first met the actor at London\u2019s Soho Theatre after one of his shows, and later in Chelsea, where she and a friend were invited upstairs for drinks, where she tripped and he helped her up but was \u2018so close to me\u2019 and \u2018really leery\u2019.<\/p>\n
She claims they exchanged numbers and, after requests from Brand, she sent him a picture in her bra; later, after another show in West London, she says she and a friend were invited upstairs again.<\/p>\n
She told the outlet she was expecting to be led into a bar but ended up in his dressing room, and claimed Brand began pestering her and her friend to perform sexual acts on each other, saying \u2018you know you want to do it\u2019 and \u2018this is what you\u2019re here for.\u2019<\/p>\n
Her friend became angry and left, and the woman says Brand then forced her onto the sofa though she was \u2018pushing him off\u2019 and saying she had to leave to find her friend.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2018He was kissing me on my neck and holding me down\u2026 telling me to stay,\u2019 she said, claiming it lasted for around 10 minutes.<\/p>\n
She added: \u2018He became nasty very, very fast. He started saying \u201cDon\u2019t you know who I am? Why wouldn\u2019t you want to do this\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n
Brand then allegedly told her to leave, and later sent her an apology for being \u2018so persistent,\u2019 to which she allegedly replied that he cannot pressure people \u2018if someone says no.\u2019<\/p>\n
She said she never heard from him again, and did not contact police as she feared they would not take it seriously, but last weekend\u2019s investigation \u2018brought it all back.\u2019<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Brand has been accused of what he himself called \u2018very serious allegations\u2019 by multiple women, including one who claimed she was 16 years old at the time.<\/p>\n
Before the Times piece was published, followed by a Channel 4 documentary hours later, Brand had taken to Twitter, aka X, where he said he \u2018absolutely refutes very serious allegations\u2019 being made against him.<\/p>\n
While the allegations had not yet been published at the time, 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
