Judge orders Russell Brand to step down

The magazine has accessed court documents, which show that the unnamed accuser, listed as Jane Doe in the case, will also sit in front of Russell for her deposition on January 21, 2025. The accuser filed the lawsuit in November 2023, claiming Russell had exposed himself to her in front of the cast and crew during a shoot in 2010.

In court documents, the alleged victim claims Russell “appeared intoxicated, smelled of alcohol and was carrying a bottle of vodka on the set.” She alleged that he followed her into the bathroom and sexually assaulted her while a crew member stood guard at the door. The victim said she is suffering ‘extreme embarrassment, shame and fear’ due to the incident. The alleged attack took place on the set of Arthur, in which Russell starred.

The comedian has denied the allegations, with his lawyer saying Russell was not drunk but was merely pretending as part of his acting process. Russell’s lawyer said, “The famous character, Arthur Bach, originally played by Dudley Moore in the 1981 comedy Arthur, is an alcoholic.”[Russell]An actor and comedian, played the same role in the 2010 remake. Whereas [Russell’s] His job was to act drunk in the film and portray an inebriated person, he did not drink a sip of alcohol or consume any drugs at any time during production.”

This matter has been going on for more than a year. Russell Brand requested that the court dismiss the entire case due to the accused’s alleged delay. However, at the last hearing on December 3, the judge presiding over the case accepted Jane’s request for additional time.
