Russell Brand’s new podcast asking if free speech is being challenged<\/h3>\n

A US civil lawsuit has been filed against Russell Brand which alleges the comedian had sexually assaulted an extra on the film set of Arthur.<\/p>\n

This comes just months after the 48-year-old was accused of rape, sexual assaults, and emotional abuse during a seven-year period at the height of his fame.<\/p>\n

Russell denied the allegations and claimed his relationships were \u201calways consensual\u201d.<\/p>\n

According to the documents obtained by BBC, the fresh accusations were filed with the New York State Supreme Court on Friday, marking the first time any such accusations have been made in a lawsuit.<\/p>\n

The anonymous woman referred to as Jane Doe claims Russell “appeared intoxicated, smelled of alcohol, and was carrying a bottle of vodka on set,\u201d before the alleged 7 July 2010 assault.<\/p>\n

The actor is then said to have exposed himself to his accuser in full view of the cast and crew.<\/p>\n

Later the same day the plaintiff claimed Russell entered the bathroom after her and assaulted her as \u201ca member of production crew guarded the door from outside\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Arthur film studio Warner Bros Pictures and other companies involved in the production have also been named as defendants.<\/p>\n

The woman says that as a result of the alleged abuse she suffers from extreme embarrassment, shame, and fear as well as finding it difficult to trust others.<\/p>\n

She also shared concerns about her professional career in association with being named and fears she could be \u201cblacklisted in the industry,\u201d as she still works as an actor.<\/p>\n

The unidentified woman is reportedly seeking unspecified damages from the actor.<\/p>\n

The legal documents also claim she was booked to work on set for three days but after the alleged assault she was not brought back and only paid for one.<\/p>\n

She also fears harassment from his followers should her identity be revealed.<\/p>\n

The case has been filed under the Adult Survivor’s Act, New York legislation which allows alleged victims of sexual offences for which the statute of limitations has passed to file civil suits for one year between 24 November 2022 and 24 November 2023.<\/p>\n
