WHEN a male celebrity stands in court and says “not guilty”, that is not just a headline. That is a moment. And in 2026, moments like this land differently.

Russell Brand, once the chaotic, eyeliner-wearing poster boy of British comedy, has formally denied a new case of rape and sexual assault charges in a London court.

These new allegations add to five earlier charges he denied in 2025: two counts of rape, one count of indecent assault and two counts of sexual assault linked to alleged incidents involving four women between 1999 and 2005.

He arrived at Southwark Crown Court in a black Mercedes-Benz wearing sunglasses, a white wide-brimmed hat, a tiger-print shirt open to the waist, pinstripe trousers, a large grey overcoat and layered necklaces, including a cross.
