Moment Russell Brand says he will make his female assistant strip naked to meet Jimmy Savile in creepy conversation with notorious paedophile

A 2007 BBC Radio 2 recording captures Russell Brand offering to bring his assistant to meet Jimmy Savile, after Savile says he would prefer her to arrive naked. The exchange has resurfaced following Brand’s conviction for rape and sexual assault, adding disturbing context to renewed scrutiny of his conduct.

Brand told Savile that his assistant, Marsha, was expected to meet or help people he requested, and described her as attractive. Savile suggested she do research, then asked her to wear nothing; Brand replied that this would not be a problem. The article also reports that Brand was held in segregation at HMP Wandsworth after his conviction, faces sentencing, and is the subject of two ongoing police investigations into further rape allegations.
