"Like he had been possessed" | The Trial of Russell Brand Ep. 11

On the eleventh day of the trial of Russell Brand, a former assistant of the comedian remembered him having an “insane sexual appetite”. While Helen Berger didn’t remember witnessing Brand doing anything illegal, in her statement she said that she had worked with lots of celebrities around whom bad behaviour was normalised. “This was on another level.”

The court also heard that the sister of Woman 3 was told Russell Brand’s eyes had become completely blank, like he was “possessed”, when he allegedly assaulted Woman 3 at a birthday party in 2004.

Russell Brand denies all the allegations against him.

Rosamund Urwin and Charlotte Wace are in court every day, and then join Luke Jones to unpack it all.
