Russel Brand says he kissed Meghan Markle. Russell Brand boasted of kissing Meghan Markle while filming his 2010 movie.
According to the tabloid, Brand portrayed a drug-addled, promiscuous rocker in the 2010 movie “Get Him To The Greek” alongside the Duchess of Sussex.
Meghan plays Tatiana, a girl in a strapless metallic dress who is kissed by Russell Brand’s character at a party, for 40 seconds in the movie.
Despite the fact that it was a scene from a comedy, Meghan Markle’s detractors fear the Duchess of Sussex would use the comedian’s remark as her Metoo moment.
As Russel Brand kissed Meghan Markle, following media exposes regarding the British comedian and actor Russell Brand, police in London announced on Monday that they had received a report of an alleged sexual assault.
The Times, Sunday Times, and Channel 4 television reported claims of rape, sexual assault, and emotional abuse against Brand in a joint investigation on Saturday.
In a video statement posted Friday night, Brand, 48, emphatically denied the allegations, which are believed to have occurred between 2006 and 2013.
He insisted that his relationships had always been “consensual,” even as he admitted to being “very, very promiscuous.”
The Times and Sunday Times reported on Monday that other women had come forward to make charges about his actions in the early 2000s, but no further specifics were provided.
The findings come amid criticism of how sexual assault cases are handled in the UK’s criminal justice system, as well as how media outlets have treated similar allegations of inappropriate behaviour by high-profile celebrities.
The Metropolitan Police said in a brief statement, “On Sunday September 17, the Met received a report of a sexual assault that was alleged to have occurred in Soho in central London in 2003.”
“Officers are in contact with the woman and will be providing her with support.”
The force said it had been in touch with the newspapers and the documentary makers at Channel 4 “to ensure that anyone who believes they have been the victim of a sexual offence is aware of how to report this to the police”.
The BBC, Channel 4, a production business, and Brand’s past employers are all looking into the allegations.
Brand is claimed to have sexually assaulted one lady in his Los Angeles residence, according to the media and the documentary.
Another reports that while they were dating for three months while she was 16 and in school, he assaulted her.
