Brand, 48, says he received a letter and an email from a television company and a newspaper "listing a litany of extremely egregious and aggressive attacks".
British comedian Russell Brand has posted a video denying "serious criminal allegations" set to be made against him in an upcoming television program.
"But amidst this litany of astonishing, rather baroque attacks, are some very serious allegations that I absolutely refute," Brand said.
"These 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.
"And as I've written about extensively in my books, I was very, very promiscuous. Now, during that time of promiscuity, the relationships I had were absolutely always consensual.
Brand has always been happy to be a cultural ambassador for whatever will attract him the most fans and make him the most money.
His protestations here are only aimed at his gleamy eyed fans, and so that he can hear voices of agreement to soothe him. I find the news treating it as though it's aimed at a broader audience or indicative of anything evedential to be a bit dishonest. "Man continues to play fiddle to fiddle lovers", wow, someone get these guys a Pullitzer.
Yeah, I take issue with your point. Mental illness doesn't make a person dangerous to society automatically. Mental illness makes a person much more likely to be a victim of abuse rather than the perpetrator.
You'd be surprised how many people care about things like sexual assault victims or simply celeb gossip. Either category, there's lots of people who care.
