The Hollywood Reporter • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Russell Brand faces multiple charges including rape and sexual assault, with six women alleging seven offenses from 1999 to 2009; he denies all allegations.
- His former personal assistant, Helen Berger, testified that working for Brand was extremely difficult due to his constant sexual behavior and demanding nature, though she never witnessed illegal acts.
- Berger described Brand as having an "insane sexual appetite," frequently engaging with women online and at events, and behaving openly about his sexual activities.
- She recounted instances of Brand's inappropriate conduct, such as having sex during work events and requesting her to obtain women's phone numbers, but ultimately resigned due to burnout and witnessing mistreatment of women.
- The trial, held at Southwark Crown Court, is ongoing and may last up to six weeks as more testimonies and cross-examinations continue.
