Russell Brand is facing a new allegation of sexual assault made by a movie extra who worked on the set of his 2011 romantic comedy 'Arthur.' A woman who was only identified as Jane Doe filed a civil lawsuit against the 48-year-old actor in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Suffolk County on Friday, according to a report by People Magazine.
In the court filing, Jane Doe accused Brand of sexually assaulted her in a bathroom 'later that same day' while 'a member of the production crew guarded the door from outside.' The anonymous woman claimed that she had been hired to work on the film for three days but after the alleged assault, she was 'not brought back for the second or third day, and was only paid for one day of work.
still maintain my career as an actor, and I am terrified of being blacklisted in the industry or suffering other negative effects beyond what I already suffered if my name is associated with a sexual assault lawsuit against others in the industry,' Jane Doe added. 'I cannot bear to imagine my career that I love being jeopardized at this point in my life.
The comedian denied the claims, saying in a video statement shared on social media that his relationships were 'always consensual.' A week later, a fifth woman accused Brand of sexual misconduct, which she alleged occurred in 2008. She claimed he exposed himself to her and then laughed about it shortly after. Brand later took to X, formerly Twitter, to thank his fans for their support.
