Russell Brand back in Southwark crown court today where his rape and sexual assault trial begins
Karmy-Jones said the allegations “punctuate” 10 years of Brand’s life when “his career was beginning to flourish”.
“His public profile was taking off as he was progressing from doing gigs as a stand-up comedian at pubs and clubs to a TV presenter, an actor, and Hollywood movie star,” she told jurors.
Some of the women involved protested and said no, others had no opportunity to react to his advances but it mattered not to the defendant.
Regardless of who they were and what they said or did, Russell Brand was not deterred.
Russell Brand, as you may know, and if you didn’t know before this trial, is a celebrity.
He was born on June 4 1975 making him now 51 years old.
