LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Actor-comedian Russell Brand, who was previously married to singer Katy Perry, has recently been accused of rape, sexual assault and abuse.
According to the investigation, four women have come forward with allegations of sexual assaults that occurred between 2006 and 2013, a period during which Brand was at the height of his career.
Russel Brand refutes allegations
However, Brand took to his YouTube channel on Friday, September 15, to "absolutely deny serious allegations."
"The relationships I had were absolutely always consensual. I was always transparent about that then, almost too transparent. And I'm being transparent about it now as well," he said.
"And to see that transparency metastasized into something criminal that I absolutely deny makes me question is there another agenda at play?" Brand asked.
Russell Brand's dating history
Brand is famous for his reputation as a ladies' man, having been in relationships with various high-profile women, including a Spice Girl, a Hollywood actress, and a Playboy model, among others.
Kate Moss (2006)
Supermodel Kate Moss and Russell Brand were linked romantically in 2006, though their relationship was relatively brief.
Georgina Baillie (2006)
One of Russell Brand's more controversial romances was with glamour model and burlesque performer Georgina Baillie, who happened to be the granddaughter of 'Fawlty Towers' actor Andrew Sachs.
They dated briefly in 2006 after meeting at a London party.
Teresa Palmer (2008)
In 2008, Brand was in a relationship with Australian actress Teresa Palmer, known for her roles in films like 'Warm Bodies', 'The Choice', 'Lights Out', and 'Hacksaw Ridge'.
Their romance blossomed while they were both working on the Adam Sandler comedy film 'Bedtime Stories'.
He told Conan O’Brien in 2013 on his talkshow, "I had sex with her and a relationship with her and eventually that does get it out of your system."
"I hope that doesn't sound brutal but that is the nature of the chemical imperative to procreate. I'm sorry, I didn't design the male libido," he said, as per the Express.
Holly Madison (2009)
Russell Brand reportedly dated Holly Madison, who is known for her role in the reality show 'The Girls Next Door' and her previous relationship with Playboy magnate Hugh Hefner.
Their romance is said to have started after they met at a party in Las Vegas in 2009.
Katy Perry (2010)
Russell Brand's most prominent relationship was with singer Katy Perry. Their whirlwind romance began after they collaborated on a movie and then officially got together at the VMAs.
Their marriage was relatively short-lived, lasting only 14 months before Brand ended it via a text message in 2011.
Geri Halliwell Horner (2012)
Russell Brand was briefly linked to Spice Girl Geri Halliwell Horner, with whom he had a short-lived fling.
Their romance ignited after the 2012 London Olympics Closing Ceremony, which Horner described as "a whirlwind."
However, their affair reportedly lasted only 13 days, despite Horner taking Brand house-hunting during that time.
Laura Gallacher (2017)
Brand's relationship with Laura Gallacher marked a significant chapter in his romantic life.
Gallacher is a Scottish lifestyle blogger and the sister of television presenter Kirsty Gallacher. The couple's relationship, like many of Brand's previous romances, drew considerable media attention.
They began dating in 2015, and their relationship quickly gained momentum. They had known each other for years, which contributed to the depth of their connection.
They got engaged in May 2017 and the couple welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Mabel, later that year in November.
In August 2017, Brand and Gallacher tied the knot in an intimate and private ceremony held at Remenham Church near their home in Henley-on-Thames, England. The wedding was attended by close friends and family.
