Russell Brand’s party behaviour in the 2000s drew little challenge
The article describes Russell Brand’s behaviour on London’s celebrity party circuit in the 2000s, including pursuing women and making sexualised remarks in public. Its author, a former showbusiness gossip columnist who says she witnessed some incidents, argues that the conduct drew little challenge and may have helped rather than harmed his career.
The account recalls Brand flirting with Abi Titmuss at a 2006 awards event, pursuing Peaches Geldof despite her being under 17, and following Charlotte Church at another party. It places these episodes in a hard-drinking, cocaine-fuelled media scene and notes that Brand worked for Channel 4 and BBC Radio 2 during the period; the supplied article text ends mid-sentence.
In short
- The author recounts seeing Brand pursue women at 2000s parties.
