British comedian, Russell Brand’s father has come out to defend his son against claims he abused women for years, calling them ‘unproven.’
This comes after The Times and Sunday Times claim ‘several women’ have come forward with undisclosed allegations about Brand’s behaviour during the early 2000s in the wake of their joint investigation with Channel 4.
The latest allegations which the newspaper says have not been investigated follow accusations from four women, including one who claims she was sexually assaulted by Brand during a three-month relationship with him when she was 16 and still at school.
The comedian’s father, Ron Brand, 80, has now hit out at ‘unproven’ allegations about his son and suggested that dark forces including the BBC are pursuing a ‘vendetta’ against him, as more women came forward to accuse him of abuse.
He said: ‘Is this seriously the most important thing happening in this world? Immigrants? Cost of living? 10s of thousands killed in Ukraine? Who is prioritising at BBC News. Who is really driving this vendetta?’.
He added: ‘With many struggling to pay bills. The unproven accusations of 15 years ago take lead on BBC News?’.
In another Facebook post, he said later: ‘The Russell Brand Vendetta. Like a man who owns an orchard being accused of Stealing an Apple?’
