The Trial: Russell Brand - The Reckless Philanderer

About this episode

Russell Brand has taken the stand and spent five hours in the witness box denying that he raped, sexually assaulted and attempted to indecently assault six women over a decade. He admitted he used his fame to beg, flirt and seduce countless women and said he'd dedicated much of his life to 'reckless philandering and idiocy.' But he insisted he only had sexual encounters with women who wanted IT and claimed consent was more important than the sex itself because he wanted to feel 'loved and adored.'
