JAKARTA - Actor and comedian Russell Brand has received two new lawsuits, one for rape and the other for sexual harassment. Two anonymous women reported the 50-year-old actor to the London Police on Tuesday, December 23.
Citing People, now Russell Brand is facing five lawsuits from six women. Brand is scheduled to appear in court on January 20, 2026.
Previously, he was sued by four women who reported rape, harassment, and assault. All lawsuits will be heard on June 16, 2026 at Southwark Crown Court.
In September 2023, detectives began investigating after several reports from online media and exclusive reports. Reportedly, these various incidents took place from 1999 to 2005.
The former husband of Katy Perry denied all allegations and stated that all of his relationships were based on consent and feelings for each other. He also felt that these accusations were a form of coordinated attack between one reporter and another.
Even though he has denied it, some of these cases have had an impact on Brand's career. Stand-up tours that he was scheduled for were all postponed and some work partners chose to end their cooperation.
Wednesday, December 24, Russell Brand uploaded a video on his X account and wrote, "Merry Christmas my brother. Accepting everything, even the trial as a blessing from God. God Jesus is real."
In the video he said, "I'm grateful for the opportunity to face many things over the years that I'm not wrong and the opportunity to convince others to understand the truth in my situation and scenario."
"I pray for all the people I have hurt in years of sin and don't think I can be healed. I pray for unlimited light and beautiful healing for them and I pray for the absolute truth of myself to be revealed," said Russell Brand.
