Dannii Minogue labels Russell Brand a ‘vile predator’ who ‘wouldn’t take no for an answer’ in resurfaced interview

Australian pop star Dannii Minogue branded disgraced comedian Russell Brand a “despicable predator” who “wouldn’t take no for an answer”, almost two decades before an exposé claimed he had assaulted multiple women throughout his life.

Brand was accused of rape, sexual assault and emotional abuse by four women during the height of his fame, following a joint investigation by The Times, The Sunday Times and Channel 4 Dispatches.

Four women told news organizations that Brand had individually assaulted, abused and controlled them at various points in his career, allegations Brand has denied.

But almost two decades before these allegations emerged, Dannii Minogue appeared to say similar things about the comedian.

She said the mirror in 2006 at the Michele Watches Summer Party: ‘He’s completely crazy and a bit of a vicious predator. I certainly don’t think he has been cured of his sex addiction, that’s for sure.

“He didn’t take no for an answer. (…) He always goes one step too far. Never quite far enough to punch him in the face, but usually too far.

“He’s obviously very intelligent, but he wears more makeup than I do.” Normally I like men with eyeliner on. It can be very sexy, but not on Russell. Absolutely not, never, he’s just not my type.’

“I was told that he was fired from MTV in the past for wearing an Osama bin Laden costume to work the day after September 11th.

‘I couldn’t believe I had just agreed to be interviewed by someone who would do something like that, it really made me nervous. And throughout the entire interview he kept making shocking comments that I can’t even repeat. Just saying those words would make me blush.”

A woman claims Brand raped her against the wall of his Los Angeles home.

A second woman claims Brand attacked her when he was 31 and she was 16 and still in school. It is alleged that the actor referred to her as “the child” during an emotionally abusive and controlling relationship that lasted about three months

A third woman alleged that the comedian sexually assaulted her while she worked with him in Los Angeles and that he threatened her with legal action if she told anyone.

While the fourth alleged that she was sexually abused by Brand, who she said physically and emotionally abused her.

Sharing his 2 minute 45 second monologue with his 11 million followers on his time of promiscuity’ were ‘consensual’.

He accused news organizations of coordinating an attack on him and told his followers: “Is there some other agenda at play? Especially when we’ve seen coordinated media attacks before, like with Joe Rogan, when he dared to take a drug that the mainstream media didn’t approve of, and we saw a flurry of headlines from media outlets around the world using the same language. .’

His video received support from tech billionaire Elon Musk, owner of X – formerly known as Twitter, and self-confessed misogynist social media star Andrew Tate.

Tate — who recently won his freedom after months of house arrest amid an investigation into sex trafficking claims against the kickboxer and his younger brother, took to X and posted a cartoon meme of a knight preparing for battle, captioned: “ On the way to fight the crazy accusations’.

Next to the image he wrote the caption ‘Welcome to the club Russell Brand’.

Tate, who is currently accused of rape and human trafficking — which he has denied — responded to Brand’s video in a separate Tweet, calling it a “Matrix attack.”

Brand also seemed to have the support of tech magnate Musk, who seemed to sympathize with him. ‘Naturally. They don’t like competition,” he responded to the comedian’s video on X.

Later, Brand’s sister-in-law Kirsty Gallacher appeared to show her support for the controversial celebrity.

The Smooth Radio presenter, 47, who is the older sister of Brand’s wife Laura, shared the comedian’s two-minute video on Instagram with a big red love heart.

Brand married his wife in 2017, who is currently pregnant with their third child. Ms. Brand has not commented publicly or shared on social media since her husband made the video. She appears to have since deleted her Instagram account.

Last night Brand performed at the Troubadour Wembley Park Theater in London for his new show, Russell Brand: Bipolarisation.

The sold-out event took place between 6:00 PM and 9:30 PM.

MailOnline understands that the sold-out Tuesday performance of the show at London’s Theater Royal Windsor is also still going ahead.

Gigs in Plymouth, on Friday, and Wolverhampton, on September 28, are also still on the list.

The tour’s website stated that the show discusses ‘rules and rule breaking’, ‘democracy and freedom’.

It adds: ‘We draw conclusions from mass confusion by polling the live audience.’

“Stay free” is a phrase Brand often used to end his videos on his channel.

But hours before he was set to take the stage, Brand was apparently removed from his agency’s websites.

Following his denial of the allegations against him and ahead of tonight’s Channel 4 documentary, Brand’s PR agency MBC PR and talent agent Tavistock Wood are no longer advertising him as a client on their websites.

However, it is understood that MBC PR still represents him.
