Comedian Russell Brand, aged 48, is embroiled in yet another controversy, this time involving allegations of exposing himself to a woman during his BBC Radio 2 show and later making light of the incident.
The reported episode dates back to 2008, when the woman, an employee of a media company sharing a building with the BBC's Los Angeles office, had an uncomfortable encounter with Brand.
Subsequently, Brand was heard laughing on air with his co-host Matt Morgan, who jokingly mentioned Brand showing his private parts to the woman.
Morgan expressed his surprise at the nature of the encounter, indicating he had not been aware of it before.
The BBC acknowledged the accusation and stated that they were investigating the matter as part of a broader examination into Brand's conduct while at the BBC.
Despite requests for comment, Brand's representative has not responded to inquiries from PEOPLE regarding the issue.
In an interview with BBC News correspondent Nomia Iqbal, the woman detailed the incident that occurred in June 2008.
She recounted feeling startled when encountering Brand, who allegedly exposed himself to her while engaging in inappropriate banter and making suggestive remarks.
The woman disclosed that after the unsettling encounter, she reached out to a BBC colleague in the radio studio, who confirmed that Brand had discussed the incident on his show.
Although BBC management was informed in 2019, no formal action was taken at that time.
The woman described feeling stunned by the situation and initially laughed it off, unsure of how to react or if anyone would believe her account.
This incident is part of a series of recent accusations against Brand, including claims of rape, s–ual assault, and abuse spanning from 2006 to 2013.
Brand has vehemently denied these serious allegations, calling them aggressive attacks in a video statement posted on social media.
Amid ongoing investigations, two of Brand's YouTube sponsors have severed ties with him, following YouTube's suspension of monetization on his channel due to violations of their creator responsibility policy.
As the public awaits further developments in these matters, it serves as a stark reminder of the importance of addressing and condemning any form of misconduct and ensuring accountability.
