A woman filed a sexual-assault complaint against Russell Brand with London police on Sunday, The Guardian reported. The woman accused the 48-year-old actor of sexually assaulting her in London in 2003.
The report comes on the heels of a joint investigation by British media published on Saturday, in which four women accused the comedian of sexual misconduct, including rape and sexual assault, between 2006 and 2013.
One of the women told reporters the actor groomed her for sex when she was only 16 years old, placing special emphasis on her virginity, innocence, and purity, according to the groundbreaking joint investigation by London’s Times and Sunday Times newspapers and Channel 4.
Brand — who has denied the allegations of sexual abuse — is a longtime practitioner of Kundalini, a type of yoga that some of its former students say uses predatory and manipulative tactics against followers.
In 2021 — the same year Brand began further platforming Kundalini yoga — more than a dozen of the Ra Ma Yoga Institute’s former employees, students, and business partners spoke with Insider about its culture of abuse, many of them calling the group and the Kundalini practice a cult.
Jules Hartley, a former actress who studied alongside Brand under the same spiritual teachers between 2011 and 2013 at Los Angeles Kundalini studios, told Insider that she was not surprised by the allegations against him, as the yoga they shared was built on power, control, and manipulation tactics.
