Russell Brand ‘simulated a sex act on a woman audience member on live TV’
RUSSELL Brand was accused of simulating a sex act on a woman audience member on live TV, The Sun on Sunday can reveal.
He grabbed the back of the woman’s head and thrust his crotch into her in the studio in 2007.
The woman later told an online fans’ forum she found it degrading. She wrote: “I didn’t find it funny. Surely it’s illegal.
“I didn’t quite know the intensity of his actions until after the show.
"I heard everyone else laughing and laughed a bit nervously, it all happened very quickly and you can’t just walk out anyway because the doors are locked and I didn’t want to draw any more attention to myself. I won’t be going back.”
Her claim comes after Brand, 48, has been accused of a string of sexual attacks — including rape — on women between 2003 and 2013.

Brand denies any wrongdoing and says all his sexual relationships have been consensual.
