The moment Russell Brand was blasted by furious Sir Rod Stewart at GQ Man Of The Year Awards after telling audience he ‘had a go on’ pop icon’s model daughter Kimberly

Russell Brand was called out by a furious Sir Rod Stewart at the 2006 GQ Man Of The Year Awards after telling the audience he had slept with the singer’s model daughter, Kimberly.

The comedian, now 48, is currently facing allegations of sexual assault and abusive and predatory behavior between 2006 and 2013, when he was at the height of his fame, following Saturday’s hit documentary Dispatches. He has denied the allegations.

When Russell took to the stage at the bash to collect his gong, he made a very rude comment, saying: ‘To Rod Stewart who got me earlier this year for too much womanizing.’

Before adding, “But I’ve had dealings with his daughter.”

When Sir Rod, now 78, subsequently collected his own trophy, he made a point of criticizing Russell for his comments.

The Maggie May hitmaker addressed him directly and said: ‘You came with my daughter, didn’t you? Russell, get up.”

The comedian seemingly lost all his bravado and was heard sheepishly muttering, “I took her for one night.”

A furious Rod asked if Russell had behaved himself that night as the former Big Brother presenter returned and said: ‘I never touched that girl’.

“Dammit, you didn’t,” Rod snapped. ‘You shouldn’t come here and brag. I speak here as a father.’

Rod – who has eight children in total – shares Kimberly, now 44, and son Sean, 43, with ex-wife Alana, 78.

Brand reportedly tried to make up after the tense moment and the pair were seen sharing a smile after the awards ceremony.

Rod later told the Evening standard: ‘(Russell) may be a bit of a player, but he can’t brag. I never did that. Russell has been a little shy since I said my piece.”

One woman has alleged that Brand raped her at his Los Angeles home, while another accused him of grooming her as they were involved in an allegedly “emotionally abusive and controlling relationship” for three months when she was just 16 and still was at school. 31.

A third accuser alleged that the comic sexually assaulted her while she worked with him in Los Angeles, and that he threatened legal action if she told anyone else about her accusation, and a fourth detailed the alleged sexual, physical and emotional abuse she had suffered. Unpleasant.

Allegations about Russell’s ‘sinister’ behavior towards women were an ‘open secret’ among TV and radio executives, it was claimed.

Bosses at the BBC and Channel 4 have been accused of turning a blind eye to the entertainer’s behavior while he worked for them as a presenter between 2006 and 2013.

The broadcasters have insisted they have taken all necessary action against him, but executives could still be summoned before a government select committee, where MPs will question them about what they know.

Brand has been accused of rape, sexual assault and emotional abuse by several women, including one who says she was 16 at the time.

His behavior would be common knowledge among female performers on the comedy circuit, who would warn each other about him.

Rand posted a video on YouTube and Twitter refuting the allegations and insisting that relationships at the time of his promiscuity were “consensual.”

However, his attitude towards women is said to have been an open secret in radio and TV production, according to sources who inquired The Sunday times.

He also has a history of making controversial and controversial comments about women on his shows – including calling news anchor Andrea Simmons a “sex bomb” and describing her as “erotic” and saying he wanted to “go under the desk” while she was working. read the news.

In 2008, there was a fierce public backlash after Brand and Jonathan Ross called beloved Fawlty Towers actor Andrew Sachs on Brand’s show and left lewd messages on his answering machine – including boasting about having sex with Sachs’ granddaughter Georgina Baillie, with whom he had a short conversation. relation.

According to The Sunday Times, many believe the BBC should have woken up to concerns about Brand’s behavior on his show well before the Sachsgate scandal.

It is reported that in December 2007, BBC staff made a serious complaint to the channel’s Controller Lesley Douglas about Brand’s behavior in the studio.

The Times has reported that the complaint followed an “alarming display of aggression and disrespect” by the radio presenter, during which he threw objects in a fit of anger.

It was also reported that he urinated into a bottle in full view of production staff and a guest – who ‘appeared to be underage’ – and was invited by a charity to appear on Radio 2.

This alleged complaint and any other complaints were not mentioned in subsequent official reports to Sachsgate.

Douglas’ lawyers have said that she “at no time encouraged, enabled and/or failed to take adequate steps within her power in relation to Russell Brand’s conduct of which she was aware.” .

“She is currently unable to provide any further information that may be relevant to the matters raised in this article due to the obligations she has to her former employer,” her lawyers said.

Brand left the BBC after the serious editorial rift in 2008, as did Douglas.
