Russell Brand jokes about ‘catching girls’ with Tim Westwood & 16-year-old’s ‘sex’ party in unearthed BBC Radio 2 clip
RUSSELL Brand joked about “catching girls” with Tim Westwood and a 16-year-old’s “sex” party in unearthed BBC Radio 2 clip.
The comedian, 48, has found himself at the centre of a scandal after multiple women accused him of a string of sexual assaults – including rape – spanning from 2003 to 2013.
All of the alleged attacks are said to have happened while Brand was at the height of his fame and during his stint on BBC Radio 2.
He has denied all of the allegations.
Channel 4 Dispatches has since released an audio clip from Brand’s show back in 2007.
Newly released sounds feature Brand having a conversation with DJ Tim Westwood – who was quizzed by cops over alleged sex offences – where they laughed about Westwood being a “pimp”.
In the recording, which would have been in the BBC studio, Westwood said to Brand: “You’re just hitting a better class of girl right now, you don’t need to call me to hook you up.
Brand replied: “Tim Westwood I never looked at you as a pimp in a literal sense.”
Westwood responded: “I think you did, you used to come to my parties and do the crazy frog on stage and catch girls, man.”
A further audio reveals Brand saying: “That’s the policy I use for women… let’s not get bogged down in things like age, race or whether or not they’re awake.”
And even more disturbingly, he was recorded telling a nearly 16-year-old girl to have a “sex party”.
A 15-year-old called up BBC Radio 2 and asked Brand what she should do for her sixteenth birthday.
On air, Brand said: “Sixteenth party, you’ve had 15 up to now, do you have one every year? But you are 16 years of age?”
She tells him: “I’m going to be in February, but I want ideas.”
Brand replies: “I suppose you’re 16, you can’t really drink booze yet, or any drugs, because that’s illegal.
“16, right, now you will legally be allowed to have sexual partners. Now I think you should theme the party around legal sex.
“Why don’t you have it themed around vampires, because I suppose what you really want to do is heighten the mood of like, you’re 16, you’re still essentially a child, but you’re coming of age, I think you want to heighten the mood of danger?
“So dress as a, let’s say it’s a vampire themed party.”
A pal in the studio can then be heard suggesting a masked ball.
Brand then excitedly says: “A venetian masked ball, that’s a good idea.
“In its way erotic, but in a suppressed suitable way for a 16-year-old girl”
It comes after five women accused Brand of sexual abuse between 2006 and 2013, over the weekend.
Another woman came forward to The Sun on Tuesday and alleged Brand stalked her down the street demanding sex.
And on Thursday, the BBC revealed Brand had been accused of exposing himself to a woman in one of their offices in LA.
Brand is also currently being investigated by the Met Police after a woman contacted them on Sunday alleging she was sexually assaulted by him in London in 2003.
