Russell Brand’s Police Interviews Exposed in New Footage

So this is an interview under caution and today is the 16th of November 2023. The time is 11.17. We are in one of the interview rooms. I'm a detective constable in the complex investigation team and my colleague I'm also a detective on the complex investigation team. Interviewing yourself today, can you give me your name please? Russell Brand. Thank you. You've got legal representation, could you introduce yourself please? Thank you. Thank you both for that. So throughout the interview, I'm going to be asking you questions and you're going to be taking notes. We're being audio and visually recorded today and we are being remote monitored as well by DFA. So, in this room, we've got a couple of black cameras up on the wall, and microphones are the mics. I see. And so it'll be audio and video recorded throughout. If there's any problems, they'll come round and let us know. You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. And anything you do say may be given in evidence. Now, what that means is, I'm going to ask you questions today. But you don't have to answer them yet. That's your choice. But if we end up going to court in regards to this matter, and then you say something that you haven't said today, they could draw an inference or come to a conclusion to say why wasn't it said today? Your first opportunity, because this is your first opportunity to give us an account, okay? And the last bit is anything you say may be given in evidence. I've explained that it's being audio and visually recorded today. And that may be played in court, the recording. Do you understand? I do. OK. I noticed that the condom he had been wearing had been removed at some point before the anal rape and was now on the floor. Mr Brand then told her to clean up the mess on the bed and he left the room. The male who had answered the door to her then entered the room and told her she had to leave as Mr Brand had to perform in another show that evening. She then left and was dropped off to Hampstead Tube by the same driver. What is your response to this allegation? I have nothing further to add at this time. It's the continuation of the interview with Russell Brand. It's still the 17th of July, 2025. It's just gone quarter past ten. Same again. We've had a short break for some consultation and a toilet break. Can you confirm that we've not spoken about the offence while you've been off? And the same people in the room? Correct. Thank you very much. Thank you. I'm just going to caution you again. You don't have to say anything, but it may harm your defence. If you do not mention or question something which you later rely on in court, anything you do say, would you like me to explain? No, thank you. Thank you. Right, okay. So we've spoken about three incidents. We've asked you lots of questions. Give you the opportunity to speak to us. I want to ask you now, is there anything else you would like to add with regards to the interview? Any more detail or anything you would like to provide us now? No, thank you. Thank you for your time today. Thank you. As I stated at the outset of this process Thank you. Thank you. on the 16th of September 2023, a defamatory Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. fictitious documentary was broadcast Thank you. Thank you. in conjunction with the publication Thank you. of two national newspapers containing false anonymized allegations which led to unprecedented media reporting. Subsequently both the media and the police publicly invited additional allegations to be made which resulted in further encounters being invented or reimagined. It is even more Even more apparent from the additional disclosure. We provided on the 10th of January 2024 that these encounters have been invented or reimagined. I understand that you are now asked further questions. I do not intend to respond to your questions without sufficient time to consider the information to answer accurately. I will therefore listen to your questions, but I will not be providing further responses at this time. You've indicated to my solicitors that you'll be asking me if I have any final comments at the end of each interview, and then we'll be afforded a break at that stage. If I have anything further to add, I will do so after the break or in due course after this interview. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for your time today. As I've repeatedly stated publicly and written about extensively, I led a very promiscuous life in the past, which I've spent years openly denouncing. I've never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity. On the 16th of September 2023 a defamatory and fictitious documentary was broadcast in conjunction with the publication of two national newspapers containing false anonymized allegations which led to unprecedented media reporting. Subsequently both the media and the police publicly invited additional allegations to be made which has resulted in further encounters being invented or reimagined. At present I do not recall the names of complainants or meeting them. However, it's entirely possible that I may have encountered them and that we may have engaged in consensual sexual activity or physical contact that has been since reimagined. The allegations that you are interviewing me about relate to events that allegedly took place between 24 and 16 years ago. After I was provided with a short summary of these allegations in advance of this interview my solicitors wrote on my behalf with questions seeking information and clarification that the majority of these questions remain unanswered. Since December 13th 2002 I've been entirely drink and drug free to the present day. In the past, my engagement with interested members of the public was friendly, consensual and warm. There was often physical contact at live shows, press events, junkets and book signings. I did my best to be accessible, non-discriminatory and loving. I spent a lot of time at these events. I've shared kisses with hundreds of members of the public during press events and photos of many such kisses in front of hundreds of people are available online. Everything I did in public once I was famous could be photographed or recorded and end up in the tabloids, I was aware of this. I routinely made provocative jokes or comments with members of the public during live performances and broadcasts. I did on occasion find reasons for leaving or asking partners in casual sexual encounters to leave shortly after the experience had concluded. I've had sexual encounters in countless locations and scenarios, often with people I've just met. The way of life that I've described, the magnitude of the promiscuity deceptively rendered in recent media attacks, accompanied by advertisements for complainants, have caused consensual encounters to be unfavourably reframed decades later. As I stated at the outset, I've never engaged in any non-consensual sexual activity. I understand that you will now ask further questions. I do not intend to respond to your questions without sufficient time to consider the information to answer accurately. I will therefore listen to your questions, but I will not be providing further responses at this time. You have indicated to my solicitors that you will be asking me if I have any final comments at the end of each interview and that we will be afforded a break at that stage. If I have anything further to add, I will do so after that break or in due course after this interview.
