He has denied non-consensual sexual activity. The Times report was published on Thursday evening, and a Netflix documentary, titled Russell Brand: Open Secret, was made available on Friday morning.

The programme included an interview with a woman referred to as Emily, not her real name, who said she was in a relationship with Brand when she was in her twenties.
