According to the woman, the incident occurred in 2008 in the same building as BBC’s office in Los Angeles, and that she was stunned in the moment.
Brand had shown up at her door with his team to pre-record an episode of Radio 2’s “The Russell Brand Show”.
While in the bathroom searching the medicine cabinet for sinus drugs, the woman said that she felt someone behind her.
She turned around to find a man’s crotch in her face, recalling, “I was startled and got up and I realized it was the man that I’d let in — Russell.”
Brand allegedly told her he was going to call her Better, and when she told him that was not her name, he replied, “Well, I’m gonna f**k you.”
“And I said: ‘No, you’re not,'” she recalled, at which point she claimed that Brand pulled his penis out and onto his hand, adding that he “pretty much served it to me as you would be serving someone some food.”
Feeling trapped in the bathroom, the woman said that she bantered with Brand a bit, before he finally put his penis back in his pants, and he was called away by his team.
Only minutes later, Brand seemingly joked about the encounter laughing with his co-presenter Matt Morgan who said, “It’s been 25 minutes since he showed his willy to a lady.”
“Very easy to judge! Very easy to judge!” Brand said.
“The receptionist…” Morgan said, adding, “Receive this!”
