## Summary

Georgina Baillie, Russell Brand’s former girlfriend and Andrew Sachs’ granddaughter, has called on Brand to tell the truth and make amends after his convictions for rape and three counts of sexual assault. She said she was disappointed in him, while stressing that he had not raped or assaulted her.

Baillie also reflected on the 2008 BBC prank-call scandal, in which Brand and Jonathan Ross left a voicemail for Sachs, prompting public outrage and Brand’s resignation from the BBC. She said the incident damaged her relationship with her grandfather, whom she saw only once to apologise before his death in 2016. Baillie described Brand as a sex addict, drawing on her own experience of addiction and recovery, and said making amends should begin with owning up.
