- She reportedly described pain and said she told Brand to stop.
- Brand denies seven charges involving six women.

## Summary

Two friends of the woman who alleges Russell Brand raped her in 2009 told the jury what she had said after the alleged attack. One recalled her saying it had “really, really hurt” and that she had told Brand to stop; the evidence adds accounts of her distress and pain to the trial.

The first friend said the woman met Brand after a show at the Hammersmith Apollo, then went to his Hampstead home in a car he sent. She recalled her friend crying and saying she could not sit down. A second friend said the complainant described Brand as cold afterwards and advised her to seek medical help and tell her parents or the police. Brand denies all seven charges, which concern six women and alleged offences between 1999 and 2009.
