Russell Brand faces new allegations of inappropriate conduct

More allegations have emerged against Russell Brand, as a former classmate has accused him of engaging in inappropriate physical contact with female students while attending Italia Conti Performing Arts School.

Last week, Russell Brand garnered widespread attention when he was accused of serious offenses, including rape, sexual assault, and controlling behavior, spanning a seven-year period during the peak of his fame from 2006 to 2013. Following an initial investigation by Channel 4’s Dispatches and The Times, additional individuals claiming to be victims have come forward, and the Metropolitan Police have received a report of an alleged sexual assault dating back to 2003.

The 48-year-old actor denies all allegations and has characterized them as criminal in nature.

Now, Tony Brown, a former schoolmate of Brand from his days at a Central London school, has disclosed that Brand used to inappropriately touch girls under what he referred to as his “cloak of love,” as reported by the UK news platform Metro. Brand’s enrollment at the prestigious performing arts school was cut short after just one year due to violations of the school’s code of conduct, reportedly related to drug use and truancy.

In his statement, Brown shared, “Brand started wearing a large black coat, which he called his cloak of love. He would get behind the girls, wrapping them in his coat and then making unwanted physical contact underneath it…You would often see the girls flinch.”

In light of Tony’s accusations against Brand, the school has expressed concern regarding the claims and urged former students who may have experienced inappropriate behavior during their time at the institution to come forward and contact the school.
