Russell Brand<\/strong> admitted that he once slept with a 16-year-old girl when he was 30.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe plain fact of it is that in Europe and in the United Kingdom, where I\u2019m from, the age of consent is 16. And I did sleep with a 16-year-old when I was 30,\u201d Brand, 50, told The Megyn Kelly Show<\/em> in an episode posted on Wednesday, April 22. \u201cWhen I was 30, I was a very different person. I was a lot younger, and I was an immature 30-year-old.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Brand referenced, the age of consent in the U.K. was 16 in 2006 and remains so to this day.<\/p>\n

The Rock of Ages<\/em> actor promoted his new book How to Become a Christian in 7 Days<\/em> \u2014 about his religious conversion \u2014 during his discussion with host Megyn Kelly<\/strong> while also delving into the myriad of misconduct allegations levied against him.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\t\t\tRussell Brand continues to face backlash as more of his past leud comments resurface online after being accused of sexual assault by multiple women. During an episode of The Russell Brand Show on BBC Radio 2 from 2007, Brand could be heard suggesting that a 15-year-old girl should have a \u201clegal sex\u201d-themed birthday party when [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A woman referred to only as \u201cAlice\u201d told The Sunday Times<\/em> in September 2023 that Brand was emotionally and sexually abusive to her in 2006, when she was 16 and he was 30.<\/p>\n

Alice allegedly reported the behavior to Brand\u2019s agent, who advised her to contact the comedian\u2019s attorney. Per Alice, Brand\u2019s lawyer denied the allegation and took no action.<\/p>\n

Brand acknowledged on The Megyn Kelly Show<\/em> that, while his relationship with a 16 year old in 2006 was not illegal under U.K. law, there were significant moral implications.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a strong power differential, as there is when you\u2019re a famous man that has the ability to attract women that I did at that time, I think involves exploitation,\u201d he said. \u201cI think it is exploitative. I recognize that my sexual conduct in the past was selfish, and I did not apply enough consideration \u2014 barely any, I suppose really \u2014 to how that sex was affecting other people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brand took issue with the perception of his behavior at the time, claiming he was seeing \u201cpowerful professional women\u201d as well as \u201cwaitresses and strippers and fans and people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat fame gave me and what my addiction fueled was the opportunity for endless consent, which led me to be a hedonist and a fool, and an exploiter of women, and that is wrong. And that is something that needs to be redeemed and addressed and atoned for,\u201d he argued. \u201cWhat I\u2019m obviously not only querying, but violently or aggressively or assertively opposing, is the idea that this is a judicial criminal matter where consent was overridden.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brand insisted that \u201cconsent was directed\u201d in every sexual encounter he has ever had.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what being famous and being, if I may say, forgive me, charismatic affords you is the ability to direct consent. That doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s right. It\u2019s actually not right,\u201d he declared. \u201cIt\u2019s wrong. It\u2019s a sin. It\u2019s an expression of selfishness and false idolatry.\u201d<\/p>\n

The comedian added, \u201cWe\u2019re not the final say on what\u2019s right and wrong. God is the final say.\u201d<\/p>\n

Us Weekly<\/em> has reached out to Brand\u2019s representatives for comment.<\/p>\n

Brand has faced sexual assault, rape and emotional abuse allegations from multiple women who say the misconduct occurred between 1999 and 2013. Several of their accusations were first explored in Channel 4\u2019s 2023 documentary Russell Brand: In Plain Sight<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In April 2025, Brand was charged in the U.K. with rape, sexual assault and indecent assault based on allegations from four different women between 1999 and 2005 while two more counts of rape, one count of indecent assault and two counts of sexual assault were later added. (Brand has pleaded not guilty.)<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have today authorised the Metropolitan Police to charge Russell Brand with a number of sexual offenses,\u201d the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) announced on April 4, 2025. \u201cWe carefully reviewed the evidence after a police investigation into allegations made following the broadcast of a Channel 4, Sunday Times<\/em> and Times<\/em> investigation in September 2023. We have concluded that Russell Brand should be charged with offenses including rape, sexual assault and indecent assault.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tRussell Brand is speaking out for the first time after being accused of sexual assault by multiple women earlier this week. \u201cHello there, you awakening wonders,\u201d Brand, 48, said in a Friday, September 22, YouTube video. \u201cObviously it\u2019s been an extraordinary and distressing week and I thank you very much for your support and for [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The CPS clarified, \u201cThese relate to reported non-recent offences between 1999 and 2005, involving four women.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brand has previously suggested that he was targeted as part of a media conspiracy due to his shift towards right-wing politics.<\/p>\n
