## Summary

Netflix released *Russell Brand: Open Secret*, a documentary about sexual assault allegations against Brand, less than a week after his conviction for rape and three counts of sexual assault. It includes claims that were not part of the trial, including allegations from Jordan Martin about their relationship while Brand was filming *Forgetting Sarah Marshall* in Hawaii.

Martin said Brand controlled what she wore and whether she could sunbathe, while also telling her he had sex with a yoga teacher. She further alleged that he sexually assaulted her at a UK hotel after an argument; she said she did not report it at the time. The documentary says Brand was invited to respond to the claims through his solicitor but did not reply.
