Sounds like it was an open secret in the productions he worked on that he was a sex pest. It makes me wonder how he managed to escape so long before allegations were made public. I watched the Dispatches documentary and the complaints all seemed credible and doubtless there are receipts if Brand is foolish enough to sue. Even footage of his own on-air demeanour around the same time was awful and worse in hindsight.

Whatever the truth to the allegations there is no doubt that Brand is a narcissist with an addictive personality and he uses people to get what he wants. He's been addicted to sex, alcohol, porn, and heroin. Conspiracy theories are his new fix. Don't be surprised if he finds Jesus next. Gotta chase that high.
